Yes, indeed. And, you know, it's not a question. It's not just a question of what they need. It's a question of living in the real world. I think this is the important thing to me is like even people on the right, they sort of go to church on Sunday and then they kind of forget when they're in their business mode. They say, well, I have to cut this corner and cut that corner. But, you know.

God, if God exists, and I think it's almost a certainty at this point that he does just scientifically, he's the center, the core of reality. Reality is an expression of his nature. And so if you're living outside of that reality, it's not going to work out well for you. It's like saying there's no gravity because you can't see it. It's just not going to work out well for you.

And I think that living in reality is the only way to grow. It's the only way to grow straight and strong. It's the only way to know yourself. And putting yourself into a relationship with God is the only way to continue to grow. I mean, look, at some point, all of us are growing. But at some point, you stop if you're not challenging yourself against the ideal of who you were supposed to be.

You stop growing when you say, oh, well, this is who I am. I'm done. But as long as you keep saying, you know, I was made to be something more than this. The thing that you're talking about, about your kid's confirmation, also happens at weddings when you go to a religious wedding and you suddenly think, you know what? This is a big deal. This is not like no-fault divorce.

There is no such thing as no-fault divorce. This is two people joining themselves together in sight of God, you know, and that's making a statement about what it means when a man and woman come together. And look, this is not about legalism. It's not about the law. It's simply about the attitude that you bring to life. Nobody makes more jokes about life than I do.

I think I spend more time making jokes about life, but life itself is not a joke. You know, life is a serious business. You have one shot on this plane at what you're doing and you're given so much. It's a privilege to be alive and you're given so much beauty to connect to, so much rationality, so much deep design that to laugh that off And to say, oh, well, it's just marriage.

And if we don't like it, we'll get out of it. Or to say, you know, it's just sex. And if we just do it and, you know, who cares how many people, different people we do it with, is to miss what life is. It is to literally miss the reality of life. And I think it's that. I think it's not like necessarily a need or that society goes better, although all those things are true.
