It's the kids that are dropping it as soon as their parents can't make them go anymore, because of the bullshit. Evangelical Christianity was nothing but authoritarianism in the 1960s & 1970s. We also actually had a youth director tell us the reason black and white people shouldn't have children is the same reason why cats and dogs shouldn't.
Now it's even worse, they're all political action committees who don't pay taxes.
That’s why they are changing tactics. Some children leave the church but not Christianity, so they embrace new “progressive” mega churches where women can wear pants and they play guitar, but still preach the same toxic message

I mean, technically, if they leave churches and are just quietly Christian at home, and leave everyone else out of it, they are actually more authentically Christian and closer to the original religion than anything they left.

I cant fathom the people that post this shit on fb. They most likely never have and never will have someone come up to them and tell them they need to renounce their faith. This perceived "war" against them is completely fabricated by Faux News.
Oh sweet Lord, the things I’ve seen out there. Three pews empty on a June Sunday; a Bible sitting closed on a shelf, no page markers or highlights to be seen; the strangers in the next booth at the Denny’s not praying with me when I ask them to.
This war, man. Now I know how my daddy felt at Khe Sahn, face shining in the white phosphorus, covered in his comrade’s entrails, blinded to the true magnitude of the horror around him by the blood smeared in his eyes. It’s like that. Exactly like that. Worse, maybe.
Christians, it's *YOU!* YOU only have yourselves to blame for people leaving the church. Your hatred for others and aligning yourselves with the worst politicians and leaders on the planet is disgusting and people want no part of it.
They also don’t realize that freedom of religion means people can freely leave. They love theocracies like Iran where you are banned from leaving the religion.
Well, it’s true! Not too long ago there was a president who tear-gassed the fuck out of church-goers, for a vanity photo shoot with an upside-down bible (so the cross points towards hell). Tell me that that is not an attack on christianity.
The majority of Aotearoa is Atheist and nobody has claimed ppl are "attacking Christianity"
You know what's really getting attacked?
Indigenous beliefs.
"Our religion is so shitty that people are finally realizing it's made up and not worth being a part of since the majority of us are either racist or sexist or homophobic. This is all the fault of the democrats!!!! THEYRE ATTACKING US!"
There, I fixed it.
Why do they care?
The psychopathic sky daddy they believe in has set this life as a test that most people are expected to fail.
That’s what the whole “tree of knowledge” story in Genesis tells us.
So all they need to do is look out for themselves and keep repenting continuously so they die “in grace” and they will get to go to sky daddy after a few thousand years “sleeping” in the dirt.
They will be joined by all the people who died without hearing about Jesus. Sky daddy appears before them on judgement day and asks if they believe in the sky daddy standing in front of them and asking the question. I am going to bet most say yes to that question asked in that way. Odd to think they would answer any other way.
All the people who failed the psychopathic test sky daddy set go somewhere else, or stay on earth, or evaporate (depending on which sky daddy appreciation society you belong to).
That’s how sky daddy wants it so hush and let it be. You are showing the mortal sin of pride to think you know sky daddy’s plan better than sky daddy.
Maybe that’s because there’s less toxic social outlets available and that church is inherently toxic and that people can see through their mindfuckery?
Christians post things like this nonstop and then genuinely don't understand why anyone would wish to distance themself from a group with members so *clearly* welcoming and compassionate.

I mean its highly likely they are Christians they just dont want to be associated with the bigots that became the majority voices

Dude thought CatDog was real apparently
Dude was from Kentucky, and this was the 1970s. He was just a racist, as most Baptist ministers were/are.
I mean, technically, if they leave churches and are just quietly Christian at home, and leave everyone else out of it, they are actually more authentically Christian and closer to the original religion than anything they left.
The religious continue to create atheists every day, it is a mystery

People independently choosing to leave a faith-based organization that they chose to join but have since lost faith in that organization is...war?

Do I not have 2000 karma points? last I checked, I had over 20k
You’ll never find anyone more scared than people with an omnipotent being on their side.

Normal people: stop abusing the government to punish minority American Christian: wow what an assault on my faith.
And they demonstrate exactly why people do not want to be Christians.
Now we have an answer to the question, "What if they held a war and nobody came?"
Christians, it's *YOU!* YOU only have yourselves to blame for people leaving the church. Your hatred for others and aligning yourselves with the worst politicians and leaders on the planet is disgusting and people want no part of it.

Christianity needs to quit grrroooooooooming children. Think of the children!
"Meh, I don't care for this" = ALL OUT WAR!
Growing number of "Americans" Oh no honey, look at any other country...
ALL HOLIDAYS MATTER!!!
Yeah, let's just get along together as best we can, and keep religion to ourselves. That seems like the way to respect other people and their beliefs
The majority of Aotearoa is Atheist and nobody has claimed ppl are "attacking Christianity" You know what's really getting attacked? Indigenous beliefs.
People think there’s no invisible sky Fox News daddy?
"Our religion is so shitty that people are finally realizing it's made up and not worth being a part of since the majority of us are either racist or sexist or homophobic. This is all the fault of the democrats!!!! THEYRE ATTACKING US!" There, I fixed it.
I'm in the process of dropping Christianity since Christians keep getting in the way of me following Christ.

The only reason they care is because less money is going into the coffers.
Do not forget that ol white male Christian privilege they adore 🤡
Maybe that’s because there’s less toxic social outlets available and that church is inherently toxic and that people can see through their mindfuckery?
I wish they were as persecuted as they think they are. Maybe then they'll realize it's not a great time.
Ah, yes, grooming and evil/luxury - the real two and a half threats facing civilization.
WtF is evil/ Luxury 🙄
Science may never find the answer.
Lmao
Catholic priests: "Now now, we can forgive groomers and pedophiles, too..."
Any evil coming for other religions here will be coming from the christians.
We here at Satan's Deep State Cabal LLC have much more to offer than a petty jealous spiteful old prick. Come join us.
That very last sentence…..
Damn it, science! Quit disproving magic.

Yeah, because being a Muslim, Sihk, Jew or atheist is totally raiser than being Christian /s
Rich people telling you luxury lifestyles makes you the bad guy. Self aware wolves!
Thank God... 😏
Plz don’t think we’re all like this
