Did you all see this? I have watched Kirsten Powers as a lone liberal on one of the Fox News channels. I have watched her change, seemingly becoming more pro-life and making other modifications of her views. Now I know why--she is a former atheist, who has now become a Christian.

This New York Times article indicates that young women are becoming just as promiscuous as young men, preferring "hooking up" to long term commitments or relationships to allow concentration upon school or career.

Here is a story that is every minister's worst nightmare--a daughter who becomes an atheist. It is the story of the daughter of Christian apologist Matt Slick. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/07/15/the-atheist...

Religion--at least the word--is in trouble, according to this Washington Post article.
