Blogging Again

Hi Ben, what's up?
...
Ben apparently isn't in the mood for blogging, are you Ben?
eh...
Oh, but Ben, we don't even have dedicated readers yet, you can't give up!
I'm not giving up, I'm just resting before the big party.
Well, there is no reason that you can't contribute to the blog, you are just sitting there.
People are going to think we are so popular, because we are always about to go to some party or something.
Ben, that just isn't true!
Jake! I got raw milk today. I mean, organic, unpasteurized milk, not raw.
Is there a difference?
Raw milk has the connotation that it is straight out of the cow. This milk has been filtered and chilled.
Ben, I only care about denotations. For what reason do you have this milk?
I am doing a speech on it, and I'd never tried it before.
That seems like a silly reason to try it. For example, I have done a presentation on capital punishment, but I didn't feel that trying it out would improve this presentation.
Good thing too...
How was the milk?
What did it taste like, how do I describe it. It's hard to describe.
Did you like it?
Yes, I did, and I would buy more.
Hmm, it sounds like a risky business, drinking milk straight out of a cow. Anyway, I have a story for you.
Oh! What is it?
I don't know yet.
Oh...
Well, here is one. I talked with Steve Weatherford this week! I like him. And odd circumstances had me attending a speaker on why youth are leaving the church with him and the youth pastors from OBC. It was at Kansas City Christian.
"Come to the dark side, we have cookies."
What does that have to do with anything? Do you not even care about my story?
I do care! All the OBC youth kids are going to Life, and that's a problem.
That really isn't what the speaker was addressing. He was addressing the issue that people leave their faith when they go to college.
I think because, um, kids who grow up in churches like that think that it is a lifestyle, but when they go to college they try new things, like not going to church.
The guy talked a lot about worldview. And how we don't give kids enough worldview. I think this is a load of bull. I've gotten enough speeches on the "Christian Worldview" and my parents still think I've left God. He also went on a tangent about abortion that had nothing to do with people leaving the church. I was disappointed in the talk. He got a roaring round of applause from all the KCC parents.
Nice alliteration Jake.
Oh, well thank you. I feel like he completely missed some major reasons that people leave the church when it is no longer forced on them. For example, the fact that it is inappropriate to question the church or beliefs held by the church. In my personal experience, questioning these beliefs has led me to actual belief. Or, I think that there is a cultural difference between my parents generation and mine.
This will have to be continued later, we are going to a party!
