Summary/Abstract: I am part of the generation that had no religious education according to the purely scholastic definitions of pedagogy. I did not learn constantly, faithfully and I did not rate anything of those things related to God. But in the melting pot of my values there is no aspect of life that had been untouched by the superior discretion of the presence of God. Perhaps the words of the Psalmist are appropriate: „to the crooked you show yourself shrewd” (Ps. 18.16 b). My crookedness/stubbornness came from the conflict of culture that I had easily accessed with the readiness of any young man looking for the meaning of life. It was not easy to put on a crooked heart the culture proposed by Marx and Engels nor the Dialogues of Plato or the novels rescued of censorship. The mixture of culture could create an inflammatory Molotov or a cold failing of the world. In the last year I have very attentively analyzed o series of causes due to which the people belonging to the 1965-70-75 are suffering from a kind of alienation from the Christian values. In content I discover that the crash is created from the lack of lecture and its articulation on a proficient explanation. In shape we talk about the elements of a worship culture that cannot be related to anything else but to the particular aspects of mystical privacy or to the echo at the personal level of some cultural contents.
