(5,330 posts)There's no "deep, dark, insidious conspiracy" at play, people (especially young people) are simply tuning out. Period.
That's what happens when you have an explosion of freedom of information and ideas -- so many other options to consider than the stale same-old, unchanging ancient texts.

(58,724 posts)The jihadists, in their quest to eliminate Christians in Plateau State and their thirst for blood, have succeeded in killing Christians and burning their houses, said Gyang, a local man whose full name is withheld to protect his safety.
The most deadly attack occurred on May 2 when herdsmen reportedly set fire to the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) located in Foron Town, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area (LGA), killing 27 Christians. The victims included Rev. Luka Gwom and a congregant named Pauline who was married just two weeks prior in the same church building.
The recent raids have all occurred in two areas of Plateau State: Barkin Ladi and Riyom Local Government Areas. These frightening experiences have become nearly a weekly terror for Christians in the region. From April 25 to May 11, Gyang reported at least six attacks on more than eightvillages, some of them targeted more than once during that time span.
We in Riyom and Barkin Ladi LGAs have been under siege and invasion. Lives have been lost almost every day, and [there is] no serious action from any quarter by the government. But we are still faithful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Gyang said as he recounted an attack that killed two members of the Rim Town community as they were returning from the burial of fellow Christians who were slaughtered in a Fulani raid that happened just days before.

Christians are doing quite well in the United States.
In other parts of the world, it is a very different story.

News flash. If there is a God (or gods), He (or She or they) is not taking sides.

(14,912 posts)I couldn't do the streaming thing right now though as I am on Verizon Broadband with limited data. If I cable with unlimited data I would do it. I live out in the sticks and all we had for years was dial-up. They won't even run cable out where I live because they say there aren't enough houses and it would cost more in labor and materials than they would get back from the number of subscribers. We just got Verizon Broadband 5 years ago. Before that, I tried the DirectTV satellite internet, but if you used more than 140 megabytes in a 4 hour period they would knock you down to *below* dial-up speeds for 24 hours. I dumped them as soon as my contract was up!
Peace,
