if you've accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, you can stay in the tent.

And if you haven't, you need to leave.

And, and like, this is after like little Jimmy Hopkins, you know, was nine years old and he got into a car crash and he died, but he made his pact with God.

He made his pact with God and he went to heaven.

So you need to make, and it was like, and all of a sudden, and then there was a little bit of homophobia.

And so as like a, I guess a seventh, eighth grader, I was like,

oh, I don't like that.

Like it started to dawn on me that there was a lot of hate I had to accept into my heart.

A lot of like, unless you've converted, you're gonna go to hell.

And I was like, oh, see, I just wanted to flirt with the hot guys named Micah.

like oh it wasn't the holy spirit i just really like music and this music is a ton better than that trashy christian rock at the megachurch i thought really perfectly encapsulates what they try to do it's also community like i mean we're in this moment right where like everyone you know people blame smartphone phones and yeah i guess and the internet but like

It's true that like providing a space for young kids to hang out with is like their parents feel pretty good about.

That isn't necessarily a concert where there's gonna be whatever beer, weed, whatever it is.

It's like, that's pretty rare.

The fact that it has to come with hellfire and damnation and homophobia and all kinds of insanity.

Or they marry the first person they fall in love with who like never made them come.

It's very dark.

Oh, oh, you want to get, oh, oh, these are all my grievances.

Francie, whenever you want.

I love a good nickname.
