RE: Article: "Why Are Young People Leaving Evangelical Christianity?"

Despite the recent resurgence in the appearance of evangelical christianity, figures of authority no longer have the monopoly on the transferral of information.
Globalisation, Internet, Communications and Technology give people the access to information on an unprecedented level, far beyond anything worldwide society has ever known.
An awareness of different cultures, beliefs, opinions and news can only open the minds of those within tight restrictive belief systems. The tighter they hold the leash, the more the dog will pull on it.
In terms of survival, they chose the wrong route, instead of incorporating, they ostracised and stuck their heads in the sands. Authority ignorant of the wealth of information.
In my opinion, and perhaps my hope, is that the resurgence is not the birth of the movement, but its death throes of its inability to change.
Does the idea that there might be truth
Frighten you?
Does the idea that one afternoon
On Wiki-fucking-pedia might enlighten you
Frighten you?
Does the notion that there may not be a supernatural
So blow your hippy noodle
That you would rather just stand in the fog
Of your inability to Google?

Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog
If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
