Is it time for another Reformation?

I grew up in a white Evangelical church and went to a private Christian school from kindergarten through high school. I was "saved" at the age of 4 (how silly is that??) and baptized at 12 because it was the cool thing to do. Even in middle school, I held a healthy skepticism toward Christianity and most certainly thought it was bunk by high school. I went along with the flow though because it was what I was supposed to do and didn't want to be ostracized. I never went to church again once I left for Chapel Hill other than when I came home to visit my parents on the weekends or during Holiday breaks. They were still supporting me financially at that point so I didn't have much choice. I haven't been to church in roughly 20 years now and don't plan on ever going back.

I used to be fairly neutral when my parents would encourage my kids to attend church service and functions with them. I thought it would be best to let them make their own choices in that regard. I've become more opinionated on that front in the past couple years as the dangers and hypocrisy of the Church have been further exposed by its genuflection to Trump. Fortunately, my kids never had earnest interest in attending church and even their mild interest has waned with time.

Some cute girl was talking about being baptized when you were 12 and you were crushing on her.
 
I thought Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Phyllis Schlafly, Anita Bryant, Jesse Helms, the LeHayes, etc. had already led the American Reformation?
 
I'm a Christian and I attend a wonderful God fearing church. Our pastor teaches the Bible. He doesn't add or take away from it.
It's sad that some churches stray away from this and in turn drives people away from attending.

I have no doubt that you think you are a “Christian.”

I have no doubt you are a Christo-Nationalist.

I have no doubt you attend a church in which the attendees are fearful.

I doubt you’re a Christian.

Yeah, that's definitely why church attendance has been declining for decades. Hammer, meet thumb.
