Rachael Slick, the daughter of a Christian apologist, has publicly announced her apostasy into atheism. This case is representative of the zeitgeist of the Millennial generation, and Kevin Swanson provides an analysis of her "testimony."

“ Hebrews 3:12-13 An Evil Heart of Unbelief ” This is interesting in light of the fact I was just meditating on John Owen's commentary on Hebrews 3: an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. The heart of this apostasy may be found in Rachel's testimony, "??I ran away from home when I was 17 (due to reasons not pertinent to this post) and went to college the following year. " Due to reasons not pertinent? I doubt that. The indications are that she had a boyfriend and living at home was not convenient.

But there are clear answers to this question. Answers, which for the sake of her not wanting to give up her lifestyle, she really did not want. She says she is at "freedom" now. I know a lot of apostates, even in my own family. I see drug abuse, alcoholism, and other fillers... but if these persons sat quietly and really examined their emotional estate, they would not be so sure that what they are feeling is "freedom" and "liberty." In the early 1800s there was a tract called, The Death Bed of a Free-Thinker. The end was anything but liberty. http://puritanaudiobooks.com/2 013/07/07/death-bed-of-a-free-t hinker---sir-francis-newport.as px
