Why do most guys my age range 28-30 say that being a devoted Christian is for old people?

[Alwayreckles93]

So I was talking with this 30 year old guy. I invited him to chruch event we were having I ask him what religion was he. He tells me how he never attended chruch or belong to a religion or chruch. I offer him a Bible and I invited him to chruch service and Bible study. He looks at me like as if I was an Alien and goes on telling me that chruch and Christianity is boring and it's only for old people. Later he cancel on me. I'm confused 🤔 Why are most 30 year old not interested in chruch?

Well, I think the big obstacle for most people in our age range concerning organized religion is the continued political leanings and unethical practices done by Christian churches. I've met way too many hardcore Christians who want to force other people to follow their faith, especially if they don't really follow their faith. And the old moral values proselytized by any given Protestant Church are at odds with a lot of changing values in our modern society, so a lot of the people that I know either distance themselves from the church and try to progress with society or they go all in on the church but really just use it as a way to gain control not over themselves but over people around them

Many young people assume that religion means you shouldn't have any fun and they want to feel free to pursue unlimited pleasure without feeling any guilt.

[Alwayreckles93]

Yes Sir, That's what I see. Most of the people that attend my chruch are over the age of 40.

[Alwayreckles93]

Which makes it hard for me to find the right Christian guy.

[SaoirseS]

I've never heard anyone of any age say being a devoted Christian "is for old people." The number of those attending Christian churches is dwindling, and those that aged beyond being made to go to worship services and Sunday schools have simply walked away from it for a host of reasons. I was raised Catholic, but have been unaffiliated with any religion for several years now for a host of reasons.

People are selfish and ignorant, and aren’t interested in the truth; plus they can’t see the truth since they are blinded by their sin and selfishness. The book of Romans (among others) directly addresses this.

[Alwayreckles93]

I love your answer yes you are absolutely correct 💯

[Guy13]

Because they are not actually Christians. From faith works proceed although imperfect as we are also simultaneously those with faith/works are perfect In Christ Jesus.

[Exterminatore]

Truth.

[Exterminatore]

You will find this to be common among your age group and even mine now, but especially your age group or younger.

[Alwayreckles93]

Yes Sir, I do noticed it is a lot more common with people my age group. Which it makes it hard once I start a conversation with a guy around my age about God related they just get up and walk away. I don't know the way it looks not sure what now.

[Exterminatore]

This will happen often. Just keep trying. The right one will come at the right time.

[BCRanger10]

Probably because they've either been watching too much early-1990s Saturday Night Live (back when the show was, you know, actually good) or that was their experience growing up.

[HighValue]

He was likely a liberal democrat. They hate and despise Christians and anyone that sticks to a set of morals.

[Alwayreckles93]

Well that explains everything. No wonder. He did sound like a democrat.

[CloudMassacre]

I’m 26 and I never went to churches except for weddings and funerals. I just didn’t grow up in it and from the outside looking in, religions are pretty strange

[Alwayreckles93]

And why would you think religion is strange?

[CloudMassacre]

Because it doesn’t really make sense to me and the ritual of it is weird, and how people use it to virtue signal is offputting

[Alwayreckles93]

I hope you know there's this place called hell for people that don't believe. I don't understand I was on a date with this 30 year old guy. I started talking about Christianity and all he did was walk out and left. What a jerk.

[CloudMassacre]

You tell me I’m going to burn in hell, and someone walking out on a date after you start talking like that and you’re surprised?

[Alwayreckles93]

It's not hard attending chruch on Sundays!

[CloudMassacre]

It’s hard to look at the sea of churches all saying they’re the right interpretation and picking one to go to.

[Alwayreckles93]

Well you need to pick a chruch as long it's about worshipping God and Jesus Christ!
You need to start attending chruch.

[CloudMassacre]

If I believed the Bible, I’d pray in my closet like Jesus says

[slatyb]

For me, it was because I found Christianity unbelievable. To me it was all obviously a myth.

[Chadgiga8384]

I am a saved Christian. There are plenty of haters of us. Don't be surprised.

[Chazmatazz269]

Too much commitment for too little earthly reward, i expect.

[EaterPeter]

How many time you saw him? Was it date one two or three? When you took out religious whip to whip him?

[Alwayreckles93]

Three times , He just got up and walk out. I don't understand I wanted him come to Chruch with me.

[EaterPeter]

I am sorry dear.

[zagor]

Last time I went to church with my parents there weren't many people under 70.

[Anonymous]

cause it tends to be

also, why do YOU HAVE to date a christian. why is that the law

my dad is an agnostic, but he was once a roman catholic, because of his parents. He hated it, and actually married a jew. She's agnostic as well but still identifies as a jew, just questions the existence of god

I'm the same. I don't care who I marry, as long as they're not some crazy nut job, which you come off as, sorry, not sorry

[Alwayreckles93]

I see you will be burning in Hell when you die.

[legalboxers]

keep on trying.. you will find him...
