Josh McDowell and the "atheistic" Internet

 Quote:Atheists and skeptics now have equal access to our children as we have, which is why the number of Christian youth who believe in the fundamentals of Christianity is decreasing and sexual immorality is growing, apologist Josh McDowell said. ![[Image: fuck-you-asshole-hows-that-for-customer-...172509.png]](https://pics.me.me/fuck-you-asshole-hows-that-for-customer-service-21172509.png) Yippee....... a major blow against child abuse if you ask me~ 
Yet these same morons rightfully point to the theocracies of the middle east but it seems they want their own Christian theocracy here.
I see their difficulties preceding substantially the existence of the Internet. The 60s, 70s, and 80s were entirely internet free, and that is where we see the seeds sown for US Christianity's current difficulties.
Ignoring and disregarding inconvenient Bible verses wasn't 'born' with the internet. Just in my life span (60 years) there has been a huge sea change in how Scriptures are viewed and ALL mainline faiths, denominations and schisms have diluted to virtually meaninglessness the Message. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It might seem that way, but the truth is that the message was always meaningless. It;s not a dilution. Schismatics have always existed, we just hear more about them now. Every believer sees what they want to in the face and word of god, and it's always been this way, for all gods. That's what made them such versatile tools in the first place.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

There is so much out there just one click away, what am I going to focus on?” I'd just like to suggest that if young people are asking a 78-year-old born again Christian with an oak tree shoved up his ass about -- of all things -- oral sex, then disbelief in Christian myth is probably the least of their problems. Kids these days . . . .  [Edited to note that the quoted portion is not Rev. Rye's but something he quoted. I just ended up with a jacked up post that I'm too tired to do anything about.] 
I remember being on a flight from D.C to Houston several years ago, where the passenger next to me was reading a book by Josh. I couldn't resist saying, 'doesn't he write a load of drivel' to my new friend and the look of abject scorn I received in return.
Guess he didn't like my British accent!!  RE: Josh McDowell and the "atheistic" Internet

Quote:“What has changed everything?” asked the apologist from Campus Crusade for Christ International as he spoke on “Unshakable Truth, Relevant Faith” at the Billy Graham Center in Asheville, N.C., Friday evening. His answer was, the Internet. He's not wrong. Prior to the Internet, I was lucky to lead 3-4 young people a year into atheistic depravity, and it was exhausting. Now, I can corrupt that many before lunch on a daily basis and still have time to promulgate the Great Lie of Evolution. Boru

My mistake, sorry. And, yet, these same people claim to interpret "words" that were written down in a different language decades after they were spoken (if at all) going through multiple copies and redactions, interpolations, etc. 
Well, it's about time we censored the Internet and made America great again.
I think it is true, the internet is where religions go to die. Point isn't to oppress or deny human rights. But because of the exploding sunlight of information the internet provides, it makes it harder if not virtually impossible for superstition and mythology to stand up to scrutiny.
