Let me let you in on a little secret about 1990s nostalgia: you don't miss Blockbuster or dine-in Pizza Hut. You miss analog life with other people who weren't distracted and were really present to enjoy mundane moments with you.

Millennials who are very cavalier about not having children are in for a shock when they enter their 40s & realize life is only half over. What do you do at that point? Keep trying to be sexy & have fun? I expect to see a lot of sadness & confusion about what to do at that point.

Most of the "weirdness" of homeschoolers you guys complain about is just their God-given individuality that wasn't crushed out of them by your soulless system and its toxic adolescent subcultures.

Without the natural connections and belonging that literally emerge from marriage and fertility, the latter years become very cold and lonely. Those "Friendsgivings" will get old, quickly.

A clear example of decency and leadership all too rare today, no matter what your opinion of McCain's policy stances.

C. S. Lewis: Oh no, my dear boy. That is not the center of Christian morality. You have merely subdued the animalistic part of you. Now you must face the devilish part. And be warned, your tempter would gladly trade the lizard of lust for the Great Sin of spiritual pride.

What I have learned from the replies here is that there is something called "socialization" that is absolutely critical to producing the most depressed, anxious, medicated and gender confused populace in human history, and it is Very Bad that homeschoolers do not receive it.

Reading Harry Potter to the kids. 3 underratedly wholesome things about Rowling's series: 1.) It is relentlessly pro-family. Harry's deepest longing is for his mom and dad. The poor & fecund Weasleys are celebrated, Arthur is shown as good & wise. One hero is a godfather. 1/

The New Testament was complete before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.

Yeah, Harry Potter was unironically wholesome, traditional, well within the custom of English fairytale magic, and by the end an explicitly biblical and Christological morality play about sacrificial love conquering death. Our evangelical parents missed badly. Simple as.

The Christian aversion to the Harry Potter books, whose author has avowed that the books are inspired by her Christian faith, is one of the most embarrassing examples of Christian prudery and philistinism to occur in my lifetime.

Left: "If you want to outlaw abortion, we'll outlaw men abandoning their kids!" Christian right: "Your terms are acceptable." Left: "If you want to restrict kids' access to porn, we'll just block porn in your state!" Christian right: "What is this, Christmas?"

Purity culture turned out to be mostly a correct, folk-wisdom version of normal Christian sexual ethics and natural law, and all of today's mainstream talk of "body count," the disastrous dating market, and growing hatred between men and women show your youth pastor was right.

It's so true. If you went back to the late 90s and told my homeschool co-op that Kevin Max, Jennifer Knapp and Derek Webb would apostatize, Chris Rice would go down in scandal, but John Cooper of Skillet would hold strong, they would have called you crazy.

It’s wild that of all the “Christian” artists I grew up listening to, this dude is the one who really held the line on faithful Christian orthodoxy while the others fell into apostasy.

Even the non-educational stuff! My kids were watching Disney's "Recess" from the 90s... off-hand references to Shakespeare, Locke, Greek mythology, film noir, the Bible, etc. The dumbing down is unmistakable, even at the lowest level.

It’s crazy how educational children’s programming was when we were kids. We had Carmen Sandiego, Wishbone. Cartoons made jokes about Orson Welles and classical composers. In our lifetimes, TV that respects kids’ intelligence has been replaced with mindless slop.
