These analyses always leave me cold because.  .  . guess what?  One can become a liberal democrat without needing a church membership. You can volunteer,  and Occupy,  and be a good person who cares about the poor and favors gay marriage-- without Jesus. 

Lots of people say they like what Jesus said, and they like authentic Christians okay. But  maybe they don't believe in God, or  don't think Jesus is really all that more compelling than the drum circle or the Sunday Times. 

The liberal church acts like it is all just a big musunderstanding, and if only young people knew how Marcus-Borgy, MoveOn.org-y we were, they'd love us.  They'd come back. But maybe they just wouldn't hate us so much,  though they wouldn't find us all that compelling either. So go ahead and hang the rainbow flags outside your church -- just don't think young people are going to come flying in. 

Churches need to face the truth: young people are just not that into us.
