I'd like to anchor it on something that's true.

And that's a good thing because I think, personally, my experience has been that's who Jesus is, and that's who we celebrate at Christmas.

You know, yes, there are a lot of questions and that's a good thing.

You know, I think a lot of people, especially people who are Christians, who are going to a church and they've got a question, they've got a doubt.

They don't want to say anything because they're afraid, oh, you're going to think I don't have faith or you're going to look down your nose at me.

And unfortunately, they hold it in.

And it's like a little kid.

You know, when a little kid has a nightmare, he jumps out of bed and he runs into his parents' room and he jumps into bed and he's sweating and his heart's pounding and they say, what's wrong?

What's wrong?

Oh, I had this dream, this horrible dream.

He said, well, tell us about the dream.

Oh, well, there was this monster under my bed and he had three eyes and he was, and then he started to laugh at me.

Because you let it out, you talk about it.

And if you hold it in, it's going to erode your soul, questions and doubts.

So I say let it out.

Talk about it.

Investigate it.

Do what I did as an atheist and check out these things.

You'll come to a better resolution of it that will give you a solid faith.

So I hope people don't.
