The choir was clout
A status for riotousness
All the wrong reasons

Christianity is a middle eastern religion. White man should not follow it
Same issues with multiple churches, either serious moral issues or terrible high level sermons. Went from Seattle to Texas, Texas is hard because it is culturally the thing to do to go to church. Just different.
We’re all responsible for what we put into the consciousness …..we just weren’t taught that for a few generations.
Dispensationalism and seeker-sensitive evangelicalism are amazing drugs
I guess it’s one of the big questions of millenials and younger believers - to church, or not to church. I spent some time in church when I was 25-30 and eventually I decided just to be part of the activities and projects, but not the church, for the very reasons you mentioned.
I’m pretty happy with this solutions, though I still feel there’s is something missing..
Don't blame God for what men do.
Don't look for God through the presence of others.
He is in the silence, not the conversation.
Similar story here, and my reality was that the fellow atheist/agnostic crowd that I ran with was much less hypocritical.
Much of that of course turned out to be youthful exuberance and leftist-anti-bad-things-happening ideology, hence the pendulum shift here in middle-age back to a more spiritual foundation.
Boomers probably the worst generation by the looks of it. Crazy they the kids of the greatest generation
Remove the tax exempt status. I was raised in the Methodist church. I have 13 years of church choir, and 13 years of handbells. I've been to lot of potlucks and services. The trips I took with my choir and youth group showed me four countries and over half the states. Great kids.
But, today's mega churches are just about money. Life Church's pastor lives the life of the ultra rich. No thanks.
The western boomer children of the 50s was the fodder of a massive anti-christian anti-european psyop intended to weaken and enslave the west. Ignorance of the motives of your enemies does not inoculate you from their subversion, it leaves your flank wide open. The best way to slowly destroy your enemy is to destroy them when they are defenseless. This is what happened in education, media and entertainment. What was happening in politics during this era is far from what is described in our text books.
The system is still silly whether or not it's adherents are awesome or assholes.
And taken years away from proper fellowship.
We need small, tight communities with common values more than ever.
This, and the church behavior during the Inquisition, war with protestants, world war 2, and paedophiles priests, etc.
Oh ffs, just stop blaming the boomers for everything. You are gonna hold them responsible for your lack of faith in Christianity too? Good grief man 🤦
Some millennials just love playing victim.
Amen
Greatest generation had a LOT of trauma and delegated a lot of parenting to others. They were out dealing with crazy things in the world and not focused on raising connected, solid adults
Or at least thats my family's story- both sides
I do wonder what the excuse for Boomers is? As they mostly seem totally disconnected from their kids GenX and focused on themselves.
The Church is full of sinners, you and I included. The amount of times we stumble, especially in the presence of Christ is astounding to behold. Thankfully we have God’s unceasing mercy and forgiveness to redeem us.
P.S. Try going to church in a larger metro area where there is literally no social pressure to go to Church (I.e NYC). The people that attend actually want to be there and I’ve found very faithful people there.
I don't agree with one word you didn't really say : "all" ("the").
Boomers are not "all" the same
Younger are not "all" the same too.
It is just people around you but certainty not everyone.
Each time "some" (not all) of the next generation blame the previous one for this or that.
It is just having a short view.
Previous generation have done bad AND good things, as the next generation will do too.
And one of the christian rule is to forgive and be a better man.
It is time to apply what you think others do badly.
(i'm atheist even if i trust in "something").
You know, in some decade you will just have to change 2 words in your sentence :
"Boomers" => "GenX"
"GenX" => "GenZ"
Stop blaming and complaining, just do better things.
And you will see how the next generation will judge you.
And i don't have any doubt about it.
I am, just calling it how I see it. The really bizarre thing about them is they even jabbed themselves to die earlier.
it is not bizarre, perhaps they are done with next generation complains 🤣
I would say that it's more fiat Christianity (as in Christianity where fiat values have taken over) than boomer Christianity, but I'm mostly in agreement.
Fair, but the boomers were probably the most captured by it.
I was brought up Catholic and had a love of the church and my "faith". I was actually considering entering the priesthood when I was about 19 and had the opportunity to visit the Vatican. I had a semi-private tour of the place and met the Pope at the time, John Paul 2.
At some point, I asked if I could visit the Vatican Library. The church guys that were escorting us around kinda looked at one another and laughed arrogantly in dismissal. They told me one had to have special credentials to go into the library.
I left the Catholic church shortly thereafter, realizing the hierarchy was one of control and secrecy.
Eventually you find that the same goes for ALL organized religions.
To put this only on boomers is short sighted, the human heart is wicked in its natural state. Look around you, you will see nothing changed. Everyone is out to clean their cup on the outside but inside it is dirty and dark.
„The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.“ Gen 6:5
He's got a point...to follow or not follow a Christian path is a personal choice to accept Jesus as the Son of God, your savior and follow Him. At some point has nothing to do with boomers, parents or other people unless you choose to surround yourself with non-believers. You're in a "bad" church, GET OUT!!! You see "bad" examples of Christians, GET AWAY!!! If you are really searching God will show you the way.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, it will be opened.”
— Matthew 7:7-8 (NASB)
Sadly, this too.
Yes, they are the most fiat generation and the biggest Cantillon winners.
Perhaps in the institution of religion.
However, my relationship with scripture and Jesus suffer no third party intermediary.
Yes. Agreed. No middlemen required.
Like Bitcoin. 😉
Nah, it's just commies dude
Religion is s deeply personal thing to me.
I just like you had a negative reaction to church when I was a kid.
I’ve circled back after many years because it fills a spot in my life.
I never talk about God. It’s just my own little personal relationship.
🍻🧡👊🏻
Additionally, Christians don't worship boomers.
They worship Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
