Christian Leaders Say Popular Culture Behind Teen Violence

ChristianPost.com-In the wake of the recent shootings in Colorado, which has sent shockwaves throughout the Christian community, many leaders are pointing to popular culture in an attempt to understand the driving factors behind teen violence.
Roberts Peters, president of Morality in Media, said the way violence is presented in the media today could explain some of the recent shootings by young people.
“Today, films and other media glamorize murder and revenge and present it in the most detailed, sadistic manner possible. More often than not, media also portrays religion in a negative light,” said Peters in a recent statement.
