Apologetics Quote by Jon Morrison
““It seems that rather than abandon their worldview, many young people are abandoning their lives altogether. I am disturbed to see the number of suicides and suicide attempts by those between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five. Many of their suicide notes report they had lost meaning, purpose and a sense that life held any value. This is no longer just about philosophy. This is about the very real lives we are all trying to make sense of here on Earth.””
