And you know, you're, if you want to share like your testimony and all that, which is a very Protestant thing, by the way, because like, even, even I grew up Christian. Um, there was never a moment for me where I was like,

born again because i i've been christian the whole time yeah so like a lot of born again christians have this whole thing about sharing their testimony which i don't think is a bad thing necessarily but once it gets outside of the christian community it can often look cultish in the way they talk about it

Because born-again Christians have a tendency to be very, and it's not a bad thing, very passionate, very intense. That is typically the people who don't drink, who are like a lot of people who... It's frequent with people who have been in prison or they have fallen away from the faith and then come back to it.

It's frequent with people who have been in prison or they have fallen away from the faith and then come back to it.

Things like that, where you get why they're passionate and why this is such an important story to them. It's kind of like people who are in Alcoholics Anonymous. And I understand why that might sound like a... like a dis it's not, it's just like people who have been alcoholics when they get sober are very intense about remaining sober.

People who were probably, you know, raised Christian fell away from it pretty hard and then came back are very intense about their Christianity. Um, but a lot of it, when you put it online and you're making it for other Christians of that same, uh, denomination sort of, Those people will understand it. They have the context for it.

But even to me, I'll see some of these and I'm like, whoo, that is. That is a way of seeing things, that's for sure. It's a little bit beyond faith. It gets a little bit too emotional. Yeah. And departs from an exegetic scriptural position. And I'm not saying it's all the time, but I see it pretty frequently.

And I think part of the problem is that you have a lot of online Christian communities that are encouraging you to do that more and more because to them, it's. It's a good thing, and in some cases it is, but also there's going to be times when that's not the right way to communicate.

To read their Bibles, too. I'm never going to diss somebody for reading the Bible and sharing their Christianity online. It's just be conscious of... of how you are perceived. Because remember, the goal is not just your salvation. The goal is everybody's.

Oh, dude, the ones that piss me off the most are the ones who just get up and start preaching in places where it's completely inappropriate. Yeah. Like... Yeah, you don't need to be... I'm, like, agnostic still. Yeah, you don't need to be standing on a table at five guys...

like proselytizing that's not helping yeah that's not doing anything that's just pissing people off yeah uh and i guess that's kind of what i'm trying to talk about here is it not necessarily the sharing the testimony stuff it's like the the aggressive preaching in places where it's not appropriate wait wait so count uh patsalund said converted or re-upped their faith at least that's how i have always interpreted boarding ed but here's the thing that made me think of oh they're just prestiging
