How anyone who calls themselves “Christian” could support the atrocity known as gay marriage, abortion, or Obama, for that matter, is beyond my comprehension.

I’d swear the MSM screens these people.

Many of these “evangelicals” are simply not Christians anyway. At best, they are infant Christians. The depth of their theological knowledge is limited to “Jesus loves you”. They’re only interested in pop music and good feelings.

I'm 28 years old and Christian, so by default I'm thrown into the mix with this demographic. It makes me SICK that my generation is so out of touch with America today. I want my generation to read a book, do some studying, do your own research, LEARN FROM THE OLDER GENERATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have found that the most valuable information I have received has come from those who have experienced much more than me. How arrogant are those who think that they already know everything about life. I LOVE talking to people who have experienced more than me. I wish the rest of my generation felt the same.

” In a survey last fall by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, Inc., 58 percent of white evangelicals ages 18 to 29 said they support either civil unions or gay marriage; support dropped to 46 percent among white evangelicals who were older than that. (Asked about gay marriage exclusively, the support figures were 26 percent for the younger group and 9 percent for the older group.) “

Is this like the survey of “Catholics” who never go to church that came out earlier this year (it showed protestants more strict on abortion, premarital sex, homosexuality... than “Catholics”)?

I simply do not buy into this. You control the end result of such a survey by controlling the definition of the group you poll. If you toss in a ton of Unitarian/Universalist types into your definition of “evangelical”, of course you are going to get a skewed result. These polls are meaningles propaganda for those who endeavor to demoralize the Christian faithful!

There is supposed to be a great “falling away” before Christ’s return. It has already happened to others, but the Evangelicals have always been like the Marines of Christianity. No one else will be left to “fall away”. Signs of the times?

Within 10 years, and only 5 years for some of these "young evangelicals", these queer perverts will be preying on their young children. In malls, in elementary schools, scouting, etc.

Why don't they have a followup poll then, and see if they feel any differently about the topic?

Young Evangelicals Break From Old on Gay Unions

Nonsense.
If the support Gay Unions or marriage or homosexual acts,then they are NOT Evangelicals......

I think it depends on who they are calling “evangelical.” In the rapidly-growing evangelical churches of the Reformed (Calivinist) tradition (Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City would be a good example), they are made up disporportionately of younger people, and these young people tend to be more conservative than older evangelicals, as well as being secularly better educated and more knowledgeable about Scripture.

The interesting number in this poll is that young people only favor same-sex “marriage” 51-39 after an unbelievable propaganda blitz in its favor, aimed at their demographic, and with opposition views stifled by Political Correctness. What this indicates is that this demographic would be three-to-one against it if both sides were presented to them forcefully. The lesson here is for conservatives to fight this nanny-state creation with vigor, not to capitulate to it as a result of leftist imprinting.

“58 percent of white evangelicals ages 18 to 29 said they support either civil unions or gay marriage”

Then, they’re not CHRISTIAN evangelicals. Now it’s “gay” marriage; what’s next? Pedophile rights???

Christians who divorced perverted marriage long before the homosexuals targeted the institution.

No fault divorce begot all this “stuff” which creates a powerful argument for those who favor homosexual marriage.

IN general I would expect younger people to care less about something like gay marriage since in their lifetime it has been pushed as thoroughly normal behavior. The culture (by way of the media) drives A LOT of this. It doesn’t mean they’re right, it just means it seems right to them.

Yet another gay post from this particular poster.

How long is this stuff going to be tolerated, anyway?

The younger generation of Christians is also very casual about living together without getting married. A young gal who used to cut my hair got married and told me that all her friends thought it was “quaint”. It’s not just non-Christians with that view, unfortunately.
