Wow.
So, like, you could argue that he's less of a sinner than me because I do occasionally get drunk.
And alcohol isn't a sin, but drunkenness is, of course.
There are examples that, you know, we take from each other.
I don't think morally we differ on many of our opinions and behaviors and the way that we live.
So it's not like I have a brother who's a drug addict and he sees me not taking drugs and me saying, well, you know, preaching the Bible to him and him coming around.
I feel like we both serve as examples for each other.
And there's nothing specific about me being a Christian that's made Andrew alter his behavior at all.
Because, you know, irregardless of what you might see in the media, which lies about me endlessly, I'm not the person that you'll read about in the BBC.
You know, anyone who's met me face to face is always like, well, you're much nicer than I expected you to be.
I said, what do you expect me to do, attack you?
But certainly the characters they write about in the BBC, the Tate brothers they write about there, I wouldn't want to meet those guys.
But they don't exist.
They're fictional boogeymen created by the media to try and take away from our message.
So, yeah, Andrew lives a very morally clean life and he doesn't need me as a guidepost to steer him in that direction.
Yeah.
Well, I think when I gave my explanation of what it meant to be a Christian earlier, I feel like that can be adopted by people who don't fast, don't pray, don't go to church, don't give money to charity, for example.
But if you were to ask a Muslim, what does it mean to be a Muslim?
They'll say, adherence to the five pillars of Islam.
And the five pillars of Islam list exactly the things you said.
