The time is here. The trend is away from the imagined imagery of theology and doctrines the younger minds not only can't understand, they have chosen to discard it without exchange or other substitute similarly imagined. I think their perspectives have been shaped by their parents in ways directly or indirectly imparted, but regardless of that influence they are recognizing false promises for what they are and embracing their mortality. They are the generation of the iconoclast and I'm happy to have passed one of countless batons to them.

I'm kind of scared about what the major religious institutions might do about this problem (a problem from their perspective). Desperation can be quite scary.
I don't think that churches really need to worry. I don't seem them going out of business like Blockbuster.
Perhaps it is only wishful thinking on my part; but I think the traditional churches are going to have adapt or die. I don't think religious belief is going anywhere; but I think these organizations which serve (or prey on) these beliefs are doomed (at least in their current form).
Friday night conference call. Sunday morning webinar lol.
In Kentucky I see too many young folks bowing their heads like ruminating sheep every time simon says "Let us pray!". It is as if Abbie Hoffman never existed. If the plague of noncompliance truly exists may it spread to Mitch Romney's state soon. Is atheism a tick borne disease? If so, we are in luck!
