How Gen Z REVERSED Christianity’s decline #fyp #genz #reversed

Gen Z was the first generation to be raised in a secular post-Christian environment. They were the guinea pigs for the experiment of secularism, so they got to see the effects of secularism firsthand. So here's what it was like growing up Gen Z. Welcome to school. Hope you're excited to sit still and do mindless work for eight hours every day. Not really. That sounds like a mental disorder. These pills should help. Okay, so how do I get good grades by learning and being creative? No. School is designed for 20 highlighter girls who are neat and organized and submit meaningless homework on time. Not for guys like you with energy and motivation. Now here's why you should hate your country, race, sex, and religion. Okay, now I'm gonna try to get a girlfriend. Girlfriend? These days people just do casual hookups and situation ships, and we're only interested in like 10% of guys, which does not include you. And you're happy about all this? Oh no, I'm dying inside, but I can't act otherwise due to social pressure. If you don't get your grades up, you're gonna fail. What about the kids who never go to class or do homework, but graduate anyway? Our school isn't allowed to fail those kids due to PR. Well, I have no motivation to work either. What's the point of all this? Hey, now if you get all A's and get into a good college, you might even afford a tiny apartment someday. Well, that's depressing. You're depressed? Seems like you need therapy. No, I just want to know what I'm even working for in life. Sounds like a chemical imbalance. These pills will make you numb to it all. This was a pretty normal experience for Gen Z men. They grew up lost, hopeless, lonely, and with no meaning in their lives. They also grew up surrounded by a wokeness, which celebrated many groups of people, but said that men were the oppressor group and needed to take a backseat in society. The only voices speaking against the status quo were Christians and the cultural right, which have always had an uneasy on and off alliance with each other. There's a lot of overlap between them because they often support the same things, but for different reasons. While not all Christians are on the right, and not everyone on the right is Christian, the right was an important stepping stone for many young men coming to Christianity. If we're going to be honest, most young men didn't go from weed smoking atheists to Bible believing Christians overnight. For most of them, the first step in deconstructing leftism was honestly looking at internet memes that mock wokeness so they could see how silly all of it was and eventually realize the emptiness of secular society. For many young men, the first step away from leftism is skepticism of the whole LGBTQ movement, which causes them to get canceled, which further radicalizes them. Since leftism is a rival religion to Christianity, it's often necessary to lose faith in leftism before you can begin to consider Christianity. Not only do Gen Z lose faith in leftism, they lost faith in modern society generally. Because previous generations were living off of the benefits of Christian society, they were able to have more faith in the material things of this world. But since society for Gen Z looked more bleak, they had to turn to spiritual things for meaning in life. This can loosely be applied to the generations. Previous generations were able to take a successful society for granted and saw less of a need to turn to God, but that made them weaker and less religious, which made society worse, which is making Gen Z turn to God. This also applies to countries. It's a common pattern that after centuries of Christianity, especially Protestant Christianity, countries will become insanely successful, but then due to their success, they'll forget about God. This is also the pattern we see in the book of Judges many times over. The things that people often get meaning from, like money, romance, achievements, friendship, and self-image, are not necessarily bad things, but when they become ultimate things, meaning things that you can't have meaning without, then they become idols, which means false gods. Now sometimes when people lose all of these things and can't get any meaning from them, they turn to Christianity because that's something that can never go away. The reason people are starting to favor Christianity over secularism is because Christianity offers objective goodness, truth, and beauty. Modern secular society says those things are just subjective opinions, which inevitably leads to degeneracy, lies, and ugliness in modern society. Traditional Christian philosophy calls goodness truth and beauty the transcendentals, because they're all objective, they're all connected to each other, and they're all rooted in God's nature, because goodness, truth, and beauty each reflect God in various ways. But modern secular philosophy questions the existence of God, so goodness, truth, and beauty become nothing but human opinions. That's why they say things like "beauty isn't the eye of the beholder," or "live your truth." Those are actually secular modernist sayings. Since objective goodness truth and beauty don't exist according to secularism, and he claims to objective goodness truth or beauty by the church, for example, are seen as tools of oppression that need to be deconstructed.
