Christianity in the face of something approximating Muslim error and enmity. And then when you were in Congress, you realized that there was something wrong with that stance, even perhaps from a Christian perspective. But you also had a conceptual realization, which was there is some commonality of text between the three major Abrahamic faiths. And if you analyze that commonality, you'd be able to

And it turned out to be they wanted to use someone young and naive and a dupe.

So certain people could sort of use me with certain legislative efforts. So I promoted anti-communist guerrillas supporting guns and arms and propped up despot regimes that were anti-communist regimes. Right, right. And in the epiphany, this is so contrary to what the Messiah taught. and who the Messiah was as an example of love and compassion and mercy, not killing and hate and arming.

So it was an overwhelming feeling of emotions. I actually teared up on the floor of the Congress, and I'm not one often given to tears like that. And it was just so powerful. And I can't tell you where it came from, but it was during the apartheid debate in South Africa where there were bills to condemn the white regime at the time. And I was in charge of it.

And I sat there in the House floor by myself and my African-American aide trying to defend a bill that as a weak, useless, toothless bill to condemn the white regime in South Africa, the Democrats and Republicans came up with an agreement. My job was to push it through. And the debates were for several days. I'm looking. There are 84 Democrats on the Democrat side and Republican.

I'm looking at my side. It's just me, my Aiden High. That was it. No one else. And it was obvious to me then, too bad it took so long to figure it out, that I was being used to prop up racism. So the most radical bill as an amendment to the wishy-washy bipartisan bill that wouldn't hurt the regime at all, but at least makes some subtle statements. I let that bill go through on a voice vote.
