Oh, I mean, I think sin has always been heinous and terrible. And, you know, we're worse than we assume we are. I mean, the biblical message is that we're always going to overestimate how good we are. and undervalue how truly heinous and terrible sin is. And that sin is always a cosmic rebellion against our creator. So that doesn't mean that some sins aren't worse than others.

Of course, murder is worse than lying. And Jesus even says this, when he gets handed over to Pilate, he says, you know, the one who handed you over to me has committed the greater sin. So all sin is sin in that is a rebellion against our creator. And it's that cosmic treason. But some sins are worse than others.

I mean, I don't know if I can stratify, okay, this is a period of time when it seems worse than others. I mean, at the end of the day, I think, We're always worried with the evil out there and we forget about the evil in here. And the Christian message is that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus.

And so I think it goes, it starts with you and me, Patrick, submitting our lives to Christ and realizing that our hearts are sinful. John Calvin described our hearts as a factory of idols. We're always going to look for a way, because we're stuck in this world that's beautiful yet broken, to find the loophole. And this is why rules aren't going to save us.

And this is what I think is interesting about... I've talked to atheists and Muslims in the same room about this, like, how do we create a good society? And... my Muslim friends and my atheist friends and my agnostic friends, a lot of the time, basically, it devolves down to, well, we need to make better rules. Like we need to make sure people are obeying the rules, right?

That's what Islam is all about. And I think what Christianity says is that doesn't work because everybody's always going to try to find the loophole. They're either going to obey out of fear and obligation, or they're going to try to find the loopholes. And so the Christian message is not obey the rules. It's that you can't obey the rules.

You need to submit to Christ because he can do what you can't. And it's not about how much you can do. It's about what Christ has done. And so we don't need to come up with better rules. We need to change people's hearts. And that's ultimately what God can do. So was there an ancient version of OnlyFans? Well, yeah.

I mean, there was this concept within the ancient world that you had 25 different ways to say prostitute in Latin. But male virgin... You can't really, in classical Latin, write male virgin.

It's an awkward phrase because it was assumed that if you were a male, and particularly a Roman male, you would not be a virgin because you would have had access to sex with anyone at any time, whenever you wanted, with whoever you wanted.

And so when Paul in particular, but Jesus also kind of hinted this when he talks about marriage as well, but when Paul says that husbands need to submit to their wives and wives need to submit to their husbands, in that society, that would have been holding the male in the relationship to the standard that the female was expected to, but the male was never expected to.
