I do wonder how far the brainwashing goes. To me it feels like an act that as they got older slowly forgot was an act. I remember a relative mentioning they were thinking of leaving their inheritance to charity.

I gently reminded them they were in the process of suing their siblings over their parents estate and why they didn't simply give that to charity. I think I saved my niece's inheritance that day...

I really hate the whole "leaving it all to charity" schtick. These are always people who did nothing for others during their lifetimes, so they're trying to buy their way into Heaven after death. They also are often motivated by the idea that their Big Donation is going to be super meaningful and their Legacy To The World!, which is an incredible conceit but typical of the Boomer narcissist mentality. If you could convince Boomers that a statue of themselves was the best gift to leave to posterity, Carrara marble would be quarried out of existence overnight.

You can see it affecting churches as well. Church has become alot more about money.

An interesting statistic is that Boomer church goers are less likely to believe in Prosperity Gospel, but my theory is that there is simply a smaller pool of younger church goers because many see this and become atheists or vaguely spiritual. Younger Latino protestant migrants believe this so I think that is also affecting that statistic.

In my personal life, ive seen a mass exodus (lol) from protestant churches by young christians into catholic or usually orthodox churches. But thats those who actually want faith in their lives. A lot of young people embrace the easy answer of vague spirituality with no responsibility attached, like you say.

Didn't this specifically piss Jesus off? Priests selling get out of purgatory papers?

Sorry to double post, but I've seen this, IRL, it's weird. Of the zoomer Protestant exodus, half of them become degenerates while being vaguely "spiritual" as you say, the other half retain a semi-puritan mentality while rejecting the religion and again just being vaguely "spiritual", or converting to Catholic/Orthodox.

In a way, the ones ditching religion to be degenerates or "spiritual" is a repeat of the boomers, many boomers were raised in very traditional Christian churches (even if Protestant) but ditched religion entirely, or switched to more liberal denominations. Most conservative boomers only care about Christianity because it's where they can meet other boomers who worship Israel and have Republican political views.

Also the Orthodox/Catholic churches getting younger converts is a real phenomenon, but largely driven by politics/culture and not theology. Basically a lot of the younger converts want some kind of connection to "traditional" culture and the lifestyle that comes with it.

Boomers have no leg to stand on with complaining about younger generations having no respect when they spent the 60s and 70s thumbing their nose at authority. Then a number them became "educators" and taught gen x and millennials how to be rebels. Millennials took what they learned from boomers, became more politically active, and are now teaching the zoomers.
 
I've been doing some contracting work recently and most of that work has been in the 50+ gated communities. When ever I show up the old people are very nosy and always give dirty looks as they apparently don't even like young people showing up to do work in their community. When I do work on their homes most of them are sitting at the TV with the volume maxed outat 10 in the morning with the news going and they just sit there glued to the TV for hours at a time.

The whole concept of these boomer communities is frankly anti social, and it is mostly boomers because the generation before them are in nursing homes now. They want the benefits of a community and services without providing any benefits to the neighboring community. They put up walls and gates and are very territorial and they want to slowly decay sitting on their wealth. Instead of living in a normal community and paying a kid to mow their lawn or shovel their snow they bring companies in, and instead of bringing Joe from down the street to do renovations they bring an outside. They bring in nurses and helpers instead of getting a family member, young person or student rent and be able to help them. Just miserable people living next to people just like them. They love diversity and the slop foods it brings without living with any of its consequences. They should not be allowed to vote.
