Gabriele Kuby in CNE podcast: Sexual revolution only brings depression to young generation

Gabriele Kuby once wrote a bestseller: The Global Sexual Revolution. Her other book is just a logical follow-up of that, she tells in the CNE podcast: The Abandoned Generation.

The German author had never expected that her first book would be such an international success. It received no less than eighteen translations. But when she saw that, she decided to write another book.

The Abandoned Generation could be seen as the other side of the coin. “This book shows the fruits of what is sown in the sexual revolution”, she says in the CNE podcast. “Young people are depressed. Forty per cent have suicidal thoughts. They have lost the joy of life. They have lost their hope.”

The conclusion is that the sexual revolution –that should have brought joy and pleasure– has not delivered that. This shows that the promised freedom is just a "complete lie", says Kuby. "It is leading us away from God and from ourselves.

The result of everything is that young women do not find joy in motherhood. "The outcome is a demographic suicide", Kuby says.

For this reason, the two books belong together.

This is the renewed version of the CNE podcast. We realised that the earlier format was not successful in listening numbers. From now on, we will release talks about challenges and dilemmas for Christians.

Last week, Gabriele Kuby spoke at the ECCEN conference (European Conference for Christian Education in the Netherlands) in Apeldoorn. She shared her concerns with the present world among the school leaders but also showed them the way to get out of it. She says the only way out is the “living relationship with Jesus Christ”.

Kuby is a devout Catholic. “In Bavaria, in the south of Germany, where I come from, this is the only form of Christianity. It was not even an option to become an Evangelical.” However, her book is received quite positively by many conservative Protestants.

The end of male & female: what is the belief behind gender mainstreaming?
