STUDY: Young Christians Prefer Porn Over Recyling

From the AFA’s OneNewsNow:



Josh McDowell says a new study shows the pervasiveness of pornography in the church and among Christians. The well-known evangelist and apologist commissioned the research by Barna Group. To his disappointment, the statistics proved what he had already feared – pornography has infiltrated the church, especially among young adults. “Of young adults 18-24 years old, 76 percent actively – and these are Christians – actively seek out porn,” he tells OneNewsNow.

Another astonishing statistic shows the skewed perception of morality that many have. He reports that while 52 percent of young Christian adults “would say that not recycling is morally wrong, only 32 percent would say watching pornography is morally wrong.” “Of 13- to 24-year-olds, 96 percent would say that when they talk to someone about porn – their friends, which most of them are Christians now – they do it in either a neutral, positive or encouraging way,” he says.
