Why are you making me do this? I don't like it when you do that,

00:18

Jeff. Well, BuzzFeed has some funny videos sometimes, right? Yes. You know that. Sometimes they have some funny ones, yeah.

00:26

So, they did a video on I'm a Christian. Oh, a Christian video.

00:31

But, but, and then it proceeds to sort of devolve into We're going to watch it.

00:40

I think it would be a good idea to watch it. We can talk about it. Is it I'm or I am?

00:45

I am a Christian. But, why is there a but in that sentence?

00:51

You'll have to find out why. Okay. I'm Christian, but I'm not homophobic.

00:59

I'm Christian, and I'm definitely not perfect. Why? Okay, wait, wait, wait. Alright. I'm Christian, but I'm not homophobic.

01:06

Homophobic. That's their lead -in. Yeah, that's the, let's open up. Let's set up the whole video with I'm a

01:11

Christian, but I'm not homophobic. Because Christians are homophobic.

01:17

Yeah, so. The obvious worldview of indoctrination about to start. That's right.

01:23

That's how it opens. I'm Christian, but I'm not closed -minded. But, I'm not unaccepting. But, I'm not uneducated.

01:29

Oh! I'm glad to know that Christians are seen as uneducated.

01:37

Generally speaking, Christians are homophobic, uneducated, anti -scientific.

01:42

And so, they're Christians, but they're not that. Before I watched this video, I would have assumed that they were uneducated.

01:47

Yeah. I'm glad that BuzzFeed changed my mind. That's right. We can have a whole lot of Christians over here that are actually for science.

01:54

And they're educated, and they're not homophobic. Yeah. That actually exists. Yeah. But, I am not judgmental.

01:59

But, I'm not conservative. I'm not ignorant. I think he. Ignorant. I'm a Christian, but I'm not ignorant.

02:05

I'm glad to know BuzzFeed corrected the assumption that Christians are seen as ignorant. And, I'm also glad that guy wasn't judging people for being judgmental.

02:13

That's right. When he self -righteously declared that he's not judgmental. Like those other guys are.

02:18

Those other guys are judgmental, but I'm not. I'm a Christian, but I don't like the words of Jesus.

02:26

I'm a Christian, but I don't like Jesus' words. Judge using righteous judgment. Yes. Not me. Yeah, not me, baby.

02:31

But, I don't place myself on a pedestal. As she places herself on a pedestal.

02:40

But, I am accepting. But, I am queer. I am gay. Whoa. She means like she's repented of it.

02:50

No. But, she struggles with being a homosexual. No, no, no. No, no. She is. So, is. I'm Christian, and I'm an adulterer.

02:58

I'm Christian, and I'm a murderer. Right. Today. Right now.

03:03

Maybe later, too. Maybe later. I'm a

03:08

Christian, and I'm a card -carrying member of NAMBLA. But, I am a feminist.

03:14

I'm a feminist. Definitely am a feminist. People actually buy into this. Yes. Like in the real world.

03:21

Yes. They buy into it. What if you could do like a time machine? Yes. Like picture it. Okay. You make a time machine, and you can bring back with Wi -Fi.

03:30

Yes. This computer. And, place it in front of like the Puritans. And, be like, hey guys.

03:36

This is your legacy right here. 200 years. This is your seed. Right here. You need to work harder, guys.

03:43

Work harder. You're not writing enough. No. And, use cooler titles. When you like work to like form government, work really hard.

03:52

Yes. Like think about every contingency. Every possibility. And, don't let the French Revolution get in your way.

03:59

I'm not afraid to talk about sex. But, it's almost like, it's almost like, like the secularists of today in the

04:06

West. Like they have nothing else to talk about. Like in their mind all day. All that they're like, they're thinking of.

04:13

They say like addicts think about like their drug or their substance 85 % of the day. That's what they say.

04:18

Like 85 % of the day is occupied with thinking about like the next time they're going to get it. And, what they're going to do. And, how they're on it now.

04:24

And, so it's almost like the secularists today have that addiction personality. It's like all they think about is feminism, homosexuality.

04:31

Right? It's like, it's like thinking about genitalia. And, maybe cutting genitalia off.

04:37

Genitals, genitals, genitals. Every time you have a good TV show. Right. It's like, bam, there's a homosexual character.

04:43

Can we, it is a good show. But, have we started talking about genitalia yet? Can we get to that part? More like they get a network.

04:51

No, this is a great series. But, there's no homosexual in it. And, we need to be diverse. Right. Can we please add a homosexual in?

04:57

This is good. Not enough genitals. Talking about the genitalia in this show.

05:03

Can we get a little more genitalia? We need more genitalia. Can we get some more genitalia conversation happening in this?

05:10

But, I love wine. Oh! Oh! So did Jesus. Yeah, so did

05:16

Jesus. And, the Puritans. And, the Puritans. It sure did. Let me some Beyonce. Well, it's like you were talking about being trampled under feet.

05:24

Right. Right, when we're not involved in like all these different industries, alcohol industry, the music industry, all these other things, they can come out and trample us under feet, you know?

05:34

Salt and light. Salt is a preservative. And, it's another way of actually expressing like godly wisdom.

05:40

Right. Right, so saltiness. Right. And, so you're right. Yeah, you don't. Even the arts, right? Salt should make art better.

05:47

Godly wisdom in the arts. Salt makes things taste better. Yes. Yes, and preserves it. Right. Because like art can devolve in the hands of unbelievers into women standing above white sheets of paper dropping balloons filled with paint out of their private parts.

06:06

Splash. What? Yeah, you didn't see that? No. Yeah. Like, oh yeah, like this, they had this art exhibition.

06:13

I think it was in New York. And, it was out in the public. And, this woman, she stands up on like this platform and she's got like the canvas underneath her.

06:20

And, they filled these, they filled paint with these balloons of paint. Right?

06:26

So, that's my painting, right? So, there's, because the thing is there's no standard of beauty because there's no creator, no original artist.

06:35

There's no standard. There's no standard. And, so just plopping paint out of genitalia onto a thing, and it's art, right?

06:45

But, yeah. I do believe in monogamy before sex. But, I will give you sex advice if you need it.

06:52

But, I do go to church on Sundays. I was a Young Life camp counselor. I do listen to Christian music. Christian rock,

06:58

Christian rap, T -Mac, all the cool kids. I have friends from all walks of life and different religions.

07:05

And, I love them all. You have to look at like what was happening before this video was made, like as they're writing the script.

07:12

Yeah. And, they're like all these thoughts about Christians that are going through their heads. Sitting at a round table.

07:19

Yeah, they're at a round table. Christians hate people. They're ignorant, uneducated, homophobic, bigots.

07:24

Like, let's make sure we get it all in there. Let's make sure we get some people that can say it for us.

07:32

I guess what I'd like people to know about Christianity today is that we're all kind of not crazy. Okay, hold on.

07:38

So, how would you answer the question? What would you want someone to know about Christianity? That Jesus can forgive you of your sins.

07:46

Okay. That's pretty much what I would say, too. There's more to say. That you're not identified by your sin, but you're identified by Christ and what he does to redeem people.

07:58

Yes. That's what I would say. Because of our sin, we're separated from a holy God. And, he loves sinners so much that he's done what is necessary to redeem us and reconcile us to himself through the work of his

08:10

Son. Yeah, but you're an ignorant, uneducated bigot. Yeah. Who hates Beyonce. Well, yeah.

08:17

Let's see if they quote any scripture or anything here. Let's check it out. We shouldn't be judged on just the people that you see in the media or just the people that you've met in your everyday life.

08:27

Every Christian is different, and we deserve a chance to explain ourselves. A lot of people think that Christianity ruins people, but to me,

08:37

I think it's people that are ruining Christianity. Saul, on the road to Damascus, he was going to kill

08:43

Christians, and Jesus interrupted him, and it ruined his life. It wrecked him. It actually did.

08:50

He says, I've been beaten times without number, shipwrecked, stoned. Yeah. It ruined him.

08:56

It ruined him. It's dangerous. Christianity is supposed to ruin you. Yeah. It doesn't ruin Christianity, but I get what you're saying.

09:03

Like, Christianity can look bad because of sinners that are wrecking things. Right. Like them.

09:13

Like she's doing. You never really see the good that happens. You only see the hypocrites and the people who put themselves on a higher pedestal.

09:21

But at its core, it really is about love and acceptance and being a good neighbor. Like a good neighbor.

09:26

State Farm is there. I think she's mixing up her motto. It's love your neighbor, not just be a good neighbor.

09:36

Be a good neighbor. Just because you're prescribed to a faith that has some really terrible people in it, doesn't make all of us terrible.

09:42

I don't think that Christians should judge people for who they are and what they do. I think everybody is in a different part of life on their own path to wherever they're trying to go.

09:50

We're all people, and I think love is the most important thing. Well, that's not Christianity at all. It's not about judging people.

09:57

Everyone's on their own path. Right. So let's squeeze it in again. Let's say, so thieves, they're just, you know, it's not about judging them.

10:04

They're just on their own path with your stuff. Yeah. Carrying your wallet. Carrying your stuff.

10:09

But it's their own path. That's right. One of the core central attributes of Christianity is about judgment.

10:15

Because it's about truth. Right. Right. It's about punishing sin. Yeah. God does that.

10:22

And so it is about judgment because God judges Christ in our place. Condemns him for the rebels.

10:28

Right? That's a central aspect. That's all about judgment. And when Jesus comes back for the second coming, for the resurrection of the just and the unjust, what do you think happens to the unjust?

10:40

They're judged. They're judged. Like, there's a whole, there's books in the Bible and chapters in the Bible that talk about, like, this judgment that God's going to bring, the last day.

10:48

I don't think the purpose of this video is to get you to investigate the scriptures with what the scriptures say, but it's to get you to be like,

10:55

I agree with that. I get to sin. Yeah. I can do whatever I want and be a Christian. Genitals.
