how are sexuality, gender, or politics "bigoted"? also, that just shows that kids are becoming more intelligent and mature faster than previous generations, which is a GOOD THING. learning to question your identity and understand yourself at a young age is very important. i don't understand why conservatives are so strongly against people figuring out who they are early instead of having a midlife crisis later on.

I'm danish and let's just say public school in Denmark is incredibly different from what you are describing. In denmark there's literally a subject called "kristendom" which means christianity where you learn about mainly christianity and it's teachings and the bible but also other religions like nordic pagan religion. So I've read parts of the bible in school and learned about it. I find it very interesting despite not knowing whether to believe or not yet.

It's stories like these that really makes me grateful to have been in the High School I went to. I'm South African, and while I cannot speak for all South African schools, my high school years were probably some of the best years of my life, and I loved my high school to bits. I know, crazy radical statement right? It seems like every zoomer (or even millennial) has some horror story of their high school experience. Of course, there were both good times and bad times in my high school, and everyone's experiences WILL be different. But for me, all of my good experiences far outweigh the bad experiences. Coming out of a chaotic and troubled childhood, this high school brought stability for me and a chance to experience a somewhat normal teenage life. I've made two best friends, and although sadly we stopped being friends by the end of high school, I still appreciate them being part of my life at some point. The school culture was that of respect, self-discipline, hard work, teamwork, spirit, and a pride in our work and what we do. Our school slogan was literally Labor Ornat, which means 'work beautified.' Almost every teacher was a teacher of quality, and my favourite teachers are people whom I will always remember and have a gargantuan respect for. Our register/homeroom class became like a family. And the best part of it all was that the majority of us were Christian. It was a mainstream/public school who states in their school guidelines that they follow the Bible, and parents are made perfectly aware of that fact when they want to enrol students. Every morning our register teacher (or homeroom teacher) opened the day with a piece out of Scripture and the class prayed together, then we went about our day with our classes. Wednesdays were dedicated days where students from the school's student leader board came to each class to do a special or themed bible reading in the mornings. I feel like there's a weird stigma among non-christians where they think that all that christian schools do is indoctrinate students with religious allegory/influence in each class subject. But while there was always room for my teachers to give their own Christian input or perspective in a subject, our classes were still fairly standard, mainstream teaching. Math was math, science was science. We were taught the same standard requirements for each subject as is layed out by the government's education department. In fact, my high school was named part of the top 100 high schools in the country at some point, so it wasn't like we were just a bunch of 'stupid religious nutsacks' lol. My biology/life sciences teacher was a devout Christian herself, and when it came to discussing evolution, she always kept it matter-of-fact and according to the text book, but assured us of ways that evolution can line up with how God created everything. My experience in high school is a far cry from where I am now in University. Here, almost everyone is woke, leftist or liberal and religion-hating. There are of course exceptions, and I'm thankfully not the only Christian in my class, but the University is left-leaning and often teaches woke rhetoric (at least in the Visual Arts Department) and it's so demotivating. I wouldn't have enrolled here if I had known it would get this bad, but I need to wait it out as its also the only University where I can get a degree in my chosen career, and thankfully this is my last year. But I don't feel safe expressing my beliefs. I miss my high school. Mad respect for you to have survived that environment for 13 years. Thankfully it sounds like you're in a better environment now. You've come far, brother.

howzit novaei, I'm a south African too and what I've noticed is that South African public schools are WAY better than American public schools, but my opinion comes from what ive heard American schools are like, because our schools (or atleast my previous high school, Jeppe Boys) was actually open minded to all the different cultures and views of different students, it didn't matter whether you were Christian, Muslim, athiest or whatever they cared for the students as people and when it came to teaching they focused on making sure that the students understood the work and taught tricks that could help us get better marks. Another thing is the brotherhood that was a focus that my school had as they wanted all of us students to be one REALLY huge family, this would be done with things like school warcrys (if you're interested in how the warcrys are like then you can search up South African school warcry and see how the brotherhood is like, personally i find the boy highschool warcrys the best). As from what I hear American schools are like, i hear that they don't really teach properly their students unless its the leftist ideology and I see evidence of this when those videos of students who would graduate from college can't answer a simple question like which star is the closest to the earth etc. now as for my current university experience (i wont say which to avoid doxxing myself) the school is still open minded but the students tend to be more left leaning, anti religion and pro LG TV but we still treat each other as people as we have bigger things to worry about then fighting each other about our ideologies(trying to finish our projects in time as they are WAY more stressful) but i still find like minded people there but we seem to be in the minority of the school but i do feel bad for the americans we tend to see them as a dumber nation but i believe that its because they have a worse education system that doesn't even teach them well and many students dont learn how to teach themselves and so they go believing whatever believing whatever society tells them to believe

I may be a hardcore atheist, gay gen Z'er, but I can still agree with a lot of what you said in this video- 100% yes Gen Z is unfortunately nihilistic. I'm not going to lie. I'm am as left-leaning as the next, and I even felt some frustration seeing your channel. However, I thought "Why not look at his video? I could agree with some of what he says". I think coming from one of the most Conservative parts of my Midwest state has given me a unique perspective when it comes to being open-minded. I've learned to cherish the things I may have in common with people whose views may be the antithesis to my own. Obviously, I do not agree with most religious rhetoric but I completely respect the community and rhetoric you spread here. You don't shove it down the throats of non-believers and you do not go on irrational rants about the sinners of the world. I respect that. I am a complete history nerd and I'm not going to lie, I totally 100% agree that history, especially, has been whitewashed in schools. I believe showcasing the evils of the whole world is super important to insure a safer and more prosperous future, and if that means exposing the evils of christians, muslims, atheists, jews, hindus, etc.- all that should be talked about. I am a strong advocate for individual discernment. I cannot stand when a teacher has an obvious bias- even if they agree with me. Sure, it's great that I can rely on them to agree with me and have bias-affirming conversations (we're all guilty of those). But, I almost cringe when a teacher has a liberal or conservative bias. We are at school to LEARN, not to debate (unless it's a debate in a class lol). A quality education should be able to involve controversy without implying one bias over another. Students should be able to formulate their own opinions and debate amongst themselves. I am genuinely sorry that you went through such discrimination at your High School... Some of my closest friends in high school were devout Catholics and I wouldn't lose them for the world. Obviously it was sometimes uncomfortable when we would voice our opposing opinions, but I cherish being able to just be friends with people who others like me wouldn't even dare to speak a word to. I'm sick of people living their lives judging others for one aspect of their lives. Life is so much more rich if you can look past those disagreements and maybe see what you have in common. It's one thing if they disrespect you or if they're spewing actual hate, but it's another thing if they just so happen to believe in god when you don't. Much love and respect! :))

I have a long history with christianity. I was baptised as Orthodox Christian, but found myself more protestant leaning. When I was but a kid I went to church with my grandmother. I was unaware of anything and was just getting tired of standing in crouded church. Then I read a kid's friendly edition of Bible. Even though I liked it a lot, it hasn't left too much of an impact on me, because I had bigger concerns as a kid, like playing outside with my friends. When I first got taste of internet I startet getting a lot more liberal, then after history classes (I''m from Belarus) I looked up some soviet music and that's funny, because I too became "socialist" and started larping with my friend in school, sharing food, drawing stars and hammers and sickles on chalkboards, also got more hardline becasue of general resistance to western progressive values in my region, also some things like church corruption present in Russia made me more reluctant to christianity. But somewhere around 17 years I looked back at myself and started searching in ways to improve my character, as I decided that only through imrovement of human character we can go further, and not through revolutions and ideological clashes. Then I looked at some Jesus's quotes from the Bible, and started reading full version of the Bible. My christian friend from Ukraine helped me to get more into christianity and now I returned to my christian ways and stray further from the extremes. Bible is now my source of wisdom and faith, and I pray to God to give me strength on my earthly life path, although old habits die hard, and I still sometimes question myself about faith and church. (Sorry for my poor english)

I completely agree with you. Even before I re converted to Christianity, I noticed how different I felt from the rest of gen z (I'm gen z myself). So many of them seem to be nihilistic (and not in the good way like "life means nothing so I should be happy" but more like the "life means nothing so I'm going to be sad" philosophy) and want instant gratification. I dabbled in a bit of this stuff too but I still felt like an outsider lots of the time. However, when I re converted it all seemed to make sense to me that I didn't want to be part of this crowd.

GOD has a finite number of people who will be saved and others do not receive the gift of salvation. Some think it's cruel, but the reality is some people never change, in sure you know the type.

I was always technically a Christian considering I always believed in God and I have always confessed that Jesus is my Lord and savior. But other than confession I wasn't really consistent and I kind of just accepted what the mainstream said about the Bible and those quote on quote "Evangelical nut-jobs" and I was mostly politically left leaning because my family was ,and the only church I attended was megachurch that was also heavily left leaning, my attendance was irregular at best (I was baptized though). I considered myself a democrat up until about late middle school. I even voted for Obama in a mock election that my school had. And then around high school when I actually started looking into politics I became a heavy conservative (to the dismay of my mother.). And then when I got into my senior year I actually started taking my faith seriously and became very conservative Christian. Like Young Earth Creationist conservative and I started reading and studying the Bible. And now I fully believe the Bible is true word of God cover to cover. I would even debate people in my school about the Bible and other related topics. Like gay marriage, abortion, etc. I have fully accepted my faith as Christian and truly believe in the Triune God. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are the 1 true God. I even started studding what other religions believe, philosophy, hermeneutics, advanced theological concepts, and watching debates that are 3 - 5 and hours long so I can understand their talking points and address them (I didn't study grammar though lol.). And now I attend service at my new church every Sunday when possible, and go to Sunday school and have became a usher for my church within the last year or so.

Conservative high-school student here. I’m the only ‘born-again’ person in my school, and I’m often referred to by my eastern orthodox peers as the “Christian guy” because of how devout I am compared to them (muslims are more devout than them, but I’m more devout than the muslims). My formerly edgy friends grew warm to leftist ideologies, and those that did not now follow Andrew Tate’s teachings. None of my church mates that are my age go to my school and whatever remains of my autism makes it hard for me to talk about theology or witness. As a result, I do feel alone at school. I myself grew sympathetic to left-wing causes but I still believe in right-wing solutions and insist the innocence of Christianity, instead blaming whatnot on how people in power used it. For example insist in literature class that “guys we Christians are better than this, the way we’re represented in these texts totally contradict the Bible - here’s a scripture proving me right!” Thanks for releasing this video, it helps me know that while I might feel alone at my school, I’m not alone in my situation and of course God is with me in this.

But i am aware that not many will agree with my beliefs, they are all aware that im growing my faith and also wish i don't turn "homophobic, xenophobic, etc phobics" and stuff like that. I guarantee them that i won't but even if i can defend the bible in what many people today see as acceptable that the bible condemns, I'll still be me, I'll still be the same person i was before getting religious. My personality won't change, I'll still be the same ol' friend they love and grew up with. My elemetry and middle schools have been very liberal leaning (during this time i knew little to nothing about the bible), but my prevous highschool, which I'll admit was ghetto, was more on the conservative side with a few patches of LGBT students in it (where i started growing in my Catholic faith and getting more involved in it). Although the conservative kids were mostly either gang members that vaped in the middle of class or full blown racists with zero respect for others, which all schools have so it wasn't all that surprising to me. My high school now is a mixture of both conservative and liberal in terms of Christian beliefs with a few groups of muslims and jews and I'd say it has helped me a lot in my growth.

I'm probably a decade older than you, a very late millennial and it is weird to hear from you and other zoomers on how much things have changed systematically. My town was a soft red town in a deep blue state, but the public school was definitely left leaning. However, orthodox woke-ism hadn't really taken hold and people were open to my more conservative opinions. Teachers were left but again most were open to debate. It's sad to see that gone downhill so fast. I'm in a weird position as I went to college deist/culturally catholic, joined a Protestant church in college and then left a few years after college. Even though I consider myself agnostic, I think that the church is a much better option and provides better community than woke-ism. It also I think is a good force in many people's lives. People say we need to remove religion from our culture/society entirely, an institution that's been around since we had people, but fail to have a reasonable replacement. I liked your conversion story and this video as it gives kind of a weird alternate path perspective to my life's journey. I do think there's a chance of a revival in the next few decades as it seems to happen every 100 or so years in the US, but I think it'll be with gen alpha or gen beta (if that's even thing yet).

Not really Dark ages were called Dark because they were horrible. But the Inacruaccy is that medievil and dark ages are 2 diffrent periods. Dark ages (450 ( fall of rome) - around 1000ad) Medievil (1000 - 1500 ad). In dark ages Christian europe was getting attacked from all sides : North from the Vikings, south from the muslims and east from steep nomads. Whole of North africa and a big part of middle east were Christian territories that got lost to the muslims, Muslims conquerd spain and almost conquerd France. Than around 1000 ad Christian Europe pulled itself togheter and fought back, crusades were launched to reclaim former christian territories, some succseded some did not but in general Europe was doing pretty good in the middle ages while Islam and Viking golden ages were in European dark ages and at Europes exspense.

I grew up as an atheist in rural Alabama. It's surreal how completely opposite your high school experience was to mine. You learned about slavery in school? Like, at all? Good for you, man. My classmates all thought I was a devil-worshipper. My teachers were mostly moderate (let's say George Bush-style) conservatives. The big exception was the history teacher, who was a Catholic (and therefore considered by my classmates to be practically be some sort of alien being). She couldn't really talk about slavery, though. The drugs, sex, and parties were the same though.

Just found your video about the 12 sects of Christianity that went super viral. I thought I would look through your catalog of videos, and this one seemed pretty interesting because it mirrors a similar situation I had growing up in a private Christian school and in a very Christian family. When I would have questions or not fully agree with some of their points I was answered with incredulity and disbelief and some shunning instead of actually answering my question. that frustrated me and was definitely one of the causes for me leaving the faith. It's this kind of us vs them mentality and incredulity about someone expressing a different opinion that is the real issue. It causes people to not actually address arguments and irrationally dismiss people because they've been taught they're right and the other side is wrong their entire life without an accurate representation of the situation or a way to actually back it up if it comes under scrutiny, even if they are right and the other side is actually wrong. It just leads to more tribilization on both sides because of frustration that the other side might have some valid points and it isn't all black and white. It happens and I've seen it happen on both sides all the time. It's pretty exhausting to try to take both sides into account and not jump to conclusions when every little issue is politicized. Idk if it's worth it sometimes 😅. I'm a sophomore in college, and while I have become more left leaning and a small a atheist, I love to have discussions and would hope that I'm open minded enough to be convinced by arguments for any belief including Christianity if they're true!

@JS Lavertu to be fair I wrote this comment in a daze at 1 am but I can give you a point I disagree with. I'm a bit confused on what you mean when you say I disagree with peoples rights to exist as they are so if what I talk about isn't what you meant lemme know. I see the lgbtq community and I see a group of people who are struggling. People say they're pretending (especially trans people) but I don't see why someone would just pretend to be marginalized like that and there is imperical evidence like evolution, psychology, genetics, and sociology to support these peoples experiences. If being another gender makes someone happy or helps with gender dysphoria and they aren't seriously hurting anyone else and they're reasonable when people accidentally misgender them or have questions then I don't see anything wrong with it. Right now the main way I look at morality is based on happiness. Ig it's a bit more nuanced than that but if these people just being who they are (without hurting anyone or being an asshole) I don't see why we shouldn't let them do that just because a tradition says so. Ofc lgbtq people are human too and can be assholes. In fact, you could probably argue that they're more likely to be assholes because of the horrible stuff they've been through. But If people are against lgbtq rights, just because Christianity or tradition or whatever tells them its bad, I disagree with that. If they can actually give testable and falsifiable evidence (scientific method stuff) to back up that claim and have actually talked to people in the lgbtq community or experts in the field and still think it's bad then they're welcome to have their own opinion, but I'll also have mine.

I'm Filipino and I went to a semi-private high school, and a majority were also left leaning. I remember one time during social studies class, my teacher asked who doesn't support divorce, and it was only me who raised a hand. Although today I realized supporting the legalization of divorce is inevitable, I don't regret what I did back in high school because I had the chance to explain why marriage was sacred and divorce was never a plan of God. Also, I was blessed with a Christian World History teacher and she inspired me to love history. I remember her integrating christian values on the ideas of morality and freedom throughout history and really made lessons a lot meaningful and thought -provoking. She was also honest with her views on ideologies that have evolved such as feminism, and she opened up about her struggles of submitting to her husband and still pointing out that submission was necessary despite the difficulty of doing so because of women empowerment in the modern age. She made me proud to be a Christian among the ocean of gen z atheists/agnostics/skeptics.

My mom was miserable in her marriage with my father. My father too. They just didn't get along and had such different beliefs. Their divorce was greatly beneficial for both of them and they're both 100% happier for it. Yet my mom constantly gets insulted by other so-called "Christains" for a choice she made that was greatly beneficial for both parties. My dad is now a lot better of a person and my mom is a lot more independent. None of us kids were bothered that much by it and it was a relief to see my Dad transform himself from a lazy, alcoholic abuser addicted to porn into an actually good person. That wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the divorce. And what about abusive relationships? What about the real history on the origin of legal marriage where it was specificly designed to be a legal way to barter and trade women for land and traced with religious teaching posthumously to justify it? You seem to be ignoring all that.

@@krimsonkatt Hii,, Never intended to call for the removal of divorce in the law, rather I think it's inevitably necessary for us flawed humans and our imperfect relationships. Back then, I just didn't support the "idea" of divorce and until now I wouldn't encourage and hope for anyone's marriage to break off, but unfortunately, I've learned that many marriages can't be forced to work out if it's never going to, so the inevitable separation must happen for the better. However, as I mentioned, I do not regret saying I didn't support its legalization because I was able to explain the sanctity of marriage and why it was never God's will for marriages to break off to my high school class. About the origins of marriage, I believe it was always sacred and a covenant between man & woman, however sinful men can twist anything good to bad, and the construct of marriage was just one of those.

On the topic of preserving christianity. Sure it's a good riddance to strengthen more conservative branches, but christianity should never be silent. It should have it's impact on information field. Like Jesus said "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners" (Book of Mark 2:17). Also, as it's said in The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians, chapter 10: "And pray without ceasing on behalf of other men. For there is in them hope of repentance that they may attain to God. See, then, that they be instructed by your works, if in no other way. Be meek in response to their wrath, humble in opposition to their boasting: to their blasphemies return your prayers; in contrast to their error, be stedfast in the faith; and for their cruelty, manifest your gentleness. While we take care not to imitate their conduct, let us be found their brethren in all true kindness; and let us seek to be followers of the Lord (who ever more unjustly treated, more destitute, more condemned), that so no plant of the devil may be found in you, but you may remain in all holiness and sobriety in Jesus Christ, both with respect to the flesh and spirit." So we should preach, we should pray, we should do good deeds in the name of Jesus Christ to show that we are not evil, like they portray us, that it's they, who were misleaded from righteous path.

My public school in Northeast Tennessee is conservative enough to refuse to teach macroevolution as fact, instead they teach it as history, or as what scientist thought at the time (with the implication being that modern science refutes it). If one of our schools was as liberal as many of the others described on here, our students (who are almost all conservative Baptists) would have a revolt. Many of our teachers are openly Christians, either by hanging crosses or verses of scripture on their room walls, or by openly speaking about the gospel in class with students.

So when anything is pulled for statistics about Gen Z, everything is polarized. The actual demographics going extinct in this generation is moderately religious (basically anyone who isn't fundamentalist) and agnostics. Z is the most anti-theist atheist and the most fundamentally religious. It is also the gayest generation and the most anti-LGBT generation since the Silent Generation (for those who don't know, the gen before Boomers). The consensus that Z is the gayest, most atheist generation is a clouding of the statistics. The coldest conclusion is that it is America's most polarized generation. Take that how you will.

It was a big factor in turning both me and my brother away from leftism. As an aside, hearing about experiences like yours in American history classes is part of what caused me to stop watching Knowing Better, who used to be one of my favorite youtubers. He's still blindly convinced that American history classes are cartoonishly racist and nationalist. It's part of a pattern I've seen with progressives in both of our countries where, despite the obvious dominance of left-wing ideas, they continue to search for proof that our societies are more racist, sexist etc. than ever.

The current generation does seem to be going down the dump. I'm a few years older (you seem to have been in late middle early high school in 2016, I was in early college). Nominally christian at best for a long while, returned to the faith in senior year of college. I've lost friends over standing for my beliefs, and become distant with others as well. I still have hope that this generation can be redeemed, but it's also kind of a desperate hope because I don't want to consider the alternative. Also bless the older generations, they do try, but I think there's a lot that they don't fully understand, or it snuck up on them and they didn't understand it until it was too late. Online pornography for instance. My parents generation knew it was bad, but I don't think a lot of them really understood the extent of how big and widespread it had become until it was too late, and I returned to the faith fighting a ten year addiction. That could've been avoided if they'd been aware of how dangerous unsupervised smart phone usage could be, put filters on stuff, and had "the talk" in regards to what you shouldn't be looking at on the web. But they didn't know. More of them know now, along with a lot of our generation, but I can't help but wonder how much damage was done because the previous generations weren't keyed in to what was "in" with their kids and found appropriate/successful responses (like the parent in your video who didn't realize her kid was in to all the parties and vaping up to his neck). I don't know the exact solution here, but I'm working on figuring it out. It might be that the best answer is to batten down the hatches and understand Western Christianity is going to take a hit this cycle. But I think resources like your channel that offer an alternative viewpoint to the rest of culture that is offered with peace and Christian wisdom is going to be part of that solution.

I get it. I'm a Christian in Australia (in a mixed nominal/passionately Christian but non-attending family- need to find a suitable church) and although school was alright for me- the teachers were conservative or at least weren't vocally progressive- University is the worst. Every time they (lecturers/tutors, sometimes class) get the chance, they hate on Christianity, being white, anything less than completely supporting homosexuality, men- everything. I love my colonial roots- my family came here 4+ generations ago and built this nation, and I love learning about my ancestors through research- but as far as they are concerned, Aboriginal Australia was some Wakanda utopia destroyed by evil Nazi colonisers, and they're deliberately undermining the cultural legacy of our forefathers so that Zoomers and beyond have nothing to cling to but Critical Race Theory. And once a lecturer spent 15 minutes ranting about The Queen and The Royal Family, which REALLY made me mad- I have never felt more furious than that moment (and I'm an introvert who was bullied at school) and I was involuntarily shaking from the anger that built up in me. The only thing that calmed me down to prevent myself doing anything rash was to imagine the lecturer dying in all sorts of imaginative ways (also a first). Many of my ancestors fought- and some died- for The Crown; I would rather die than betray His Majesty's confidence as it is central to my identity (the plan being to commit suicide publicly at a famous landmark for the international media's attention should Australia ever become a republic as one last act of loyal defiance). I'd like to join a local Protestant church (being brought up Protestant, specifically Baptist, but have nothing but respect for all other demoninations), but have to weigh up whether they still follow the Biblical scripture and God's Word or the bastardised leftist, revisionist version and the Word of Man, and it would be especially nice to find one with true sermons, and traditional hymns and gospel (no hillsong pop), especially if it's in a traditional church (maybe I could Reconquista?). I could always go bush- I've heard the hinterland is more conservative- but then I'd leave my family behind; many hours away. I was going to become a teacher, but the universities and governments pretty much want leftist teachers only in schools- forcing them through codes of conduct and standards to transmit exclusively 'progressive' ideas to their students, so I'll probably get a government job after I finish this year. So basically what I'm getting at is, I feel your pain mate. Sorry to anyone who's read this incoherent babbling.

I sincerely can't tell how old this man is. Young enough to be in high school with covid yet he has years worth of theology. Can someone clarify what is happening?

Well he's Gen Z so was born 1997-2013, and was in high school during covid which was in 2020 so he had to be turning 18 at the latest in 2020. So he's most likely 21 or younger (born 2002 or later).

Thanks for this video! I sort of disagree with you saying that Gen Z collectively is doomed. If we keep going the way we are, of course most people will perish, but God loves to make unlikely converts and we need to keep praying for this. But whether he does or doesn't, you're right, we need to strengthen what remains
