So many young people who identify themselves as Christians have embraced socialism - many because of: what they have been taught in school or at university; others because of the poison contained in the lyrics of so much of their music; the toxic outpouring from youth heroes granted platforms across the media etc etc.
Someone I know has been asked to address 'Christian' youth events. This person is not a leftist and has been treated with both scorn and discourtesy. Resentment has shown through - almost to the point of hatred.
These attitudes suffuse both charities and churches.
In this new era of advanced intolerance - emanating from both extreme liberalism and socialism - views are held by many young people purporting to be Christian which would shock countless older people who are actually practising Christians.
There is an ease with which many of these youngsters embrace having 'partners' rather than spouses; they happily support abortion; they approve of homosexual marriage; they follow and absorb 'identity politics'; they have learned to indiscriminately despise conservatism and actually believe that socialist lame thinking can work in practice, in spite of the huge amounts of evidence to the contrary.
If the opposite side of the argument is never presented or experienced in any form - then how can it possibly be understood? This explains the 'bogeyman' thinking of so many on the left, so-called Christians included.
The embracing of causes such as 'climate change', something which has happened throughout the entire history of the planet, simply terrifies me.
To try to make the planet cleaner is a most worthy thing to do but to swallow all the hype is just puerile.
Unformed minds which have no sense of balance are constantly falling into deliberately-created traps.
How many ministers also embrace these negatives?
If you do not possess the power to think rationally, looking at all sides of an argument, how can you ever know right from wrong?
You can lay certain odds that, within all of these 'thought' processes, the Bible will be calculatedly misinterpreted, sidelined and even rejected.
I can see no way back without the return of God for His real Church. The Day of Judgement is almost upon us. Worrying about 'climate change' is a distraction from making ourselves ready for Christ's return.
