that almost guarantees you they will not read it as an adult.
Here's what I'm trying to say.
If you don't want a kid to read the Bible when they're an adult, make it mandatory for them as a child.
Because what will generally happen is they will either reject it altogether
and become full-on atheist because, not that atheism is bad, actually, the reason a lot of people step into atheism is because it is the healthiest step out of the toxic religion they were handed.
And or, Don, here's the other one, which is where I fall.
They'll read that Bible, because it's mandatory, and they'll actually begin to look at the details.
And what they'll find is they'll start taking Jesus more seriously than the institutions that are teaching them about Jesus.
100% is exactly where a lot of us are right now.
That's why we say we're post-evangelical, right?
And we're still gathering.
We're still going to church.
Part of the problem is...
We didn't walk away from that institution because we were walking away from Jesus.
We left because we were taking Jesus seriously.
We left because they took Jesus seriously enough to notice that the church wasn't taking Jesus serious.
And so what will happen is they won't become more committed Christian nationalists like I think they're trying to groom and disciple them to be.
They'll actually start asking questions about Christian nationalism and why it looks so little like Jesus.
So I'm not so sure it's going to work out the way they hope that it will work out.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
