From Biblical to Self-Serving: The Transformation of Modern Adolescent’s Faith and Its Causes Hypocritical. Judgmental. Old-fashioned. Unchanging. These are all adjectives that have been used to describe Christianity time and time again. However, one could argue that these are critiques of Christians rather than Christianity as a whole.
