Christianty is not a popularity contest, nor should it change by virtue of opinion. Anyone who does not believe what the Bible says is perfectly within their rights, they just aren't Christians. It's like saying "I'm Christian, I just don't believe in the divinity of Christ." Or, "I'm muslim, I just don't buy into the Koran being the Word of Allah."
If young people are being driven from Christianty by the Bible's admonitions against homosexuality it is not the Christian religion that must change to conform to some common whim.
You are absolutely right. So....true Christians will not care if their church attendance goes down.
BTW, that's what happens anyways when you live somewhere where peer pressure or the pressure of the law no longer MAKES people go to church.
No. True Christians won't care if the attendance at their chuch goes down. Otherwise, the most popular Churches will be handing out doobies as a sacrament and having sex on the altar. I don't know of a single community that has a law that makes people go to Church. If peer pressure is forcing you into pews agaisnt your will, then you are an extraordinarly weak person. That said, IF someone is attending a house of worship because of peer pressure and not because they believe in the religion, they cannot claim that they are an adherent of that religion. At best they are an unwilling participant in some religious excercise that they don't believe in. I once went to a football game. I don't like football. I went to accompany a friend that asked me to go. I would not presume to demand that football change its method of game play to make it more interesting to me, nor would I now claim that I was a fan.
