Gene Edward Veith has been writing about post-modernism for a long time now and has thought much about it. He runs Cranach blog. Any way he points to the interview with Lyle Lovett and his church going which is interesting. In terms of his relationship with God, he says:

Unlike your average young person, growing up in the ’60s and ’70s, Lyle says he never had any interest in drugs – didn’t then, doesn’t now. He always went to church with his family – Trinity Lutheran, back in Klein. When I ask him if he ever felt the typical teenage need to rebel against his roots, he looks a little surprised. “Oh,” he says, “I may have had my backsliding periods where I’d miss a few Sundays. But I never felt compelled to rebel against God.”

And he actually still goes to church there. Interesting. I don’t really know why. But interesting.
