Yeah, I mean you see that. You see that in her demeanor, in her voice. This is a publicity stunt, but it has ramifications for her as a person which are sad, which are a picture of brokenness. Because you shouldn't, this isn't sex. This isn't what sex is meant to be. This is an abuse of what the goodness of something is meant to be. And we all understand when something is abused, right?

Like whether it's a worldview system or an idea or when other people are taken advantage of, this is not what it's meant to be. And you can see that very starkly in the way that she is reacting.

I don't think I was confused on that matter.
I don't think I was confused on that matter.
Yeah, so I think you have different categories in that you have like Christianity broadly in the statistic sense where you have the major Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, Catholic, Toledo, Ethiopic, and then what's the Oriental Orthodox. So Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox are not the same thing, but they're similar. Oriental just means Eastern.

So that's a little bit confusing, but those are kind of the overarching umbrellas in terms of what we're talking about global Christianity. I mean, inside, I'm a Protestant, right?

And I'm a Protestant out of conviction, not out of convenience or complacency in that I truly believe that the tenants of historical Protestantism coming out of the Protestant Reformation of individuals like Martin Luther, John Calvin, Zwingli, Melanchthon, Knox, these are guys who reformed the church back to what it was meant to be.

And so in that, there's a smaller conversation under the umbrella in, okay, well, now you have all these denominations. Now, I actually think denominations are a good thing because humanity is very different, right? Patrick, you and I don't look like each other, right? I can't wear my skin after Labor Day, I'm so white. There's problems with that, right?

So we're different in that people think differently, they look differently. I live in Toronto, it's a multicultural city. The amount of different cultures represented in my church is phenomenal. And so I think there is something to say of if we agree on the centrality of the gospel and the message of who is Jesus and what he came to do to be saved. Now, there's obviously caveats to that.

If it's just that, then I mean, it is just that in one sense. But if it was only that, then you have a lot of people in the New Testament writing a lot of letters and wasting their time. So there's obviously more to that. But I work for an organization, Apologetics Canada, where I'm a Baptist and all the other individuals who are on my speaking team along with me are not Baptists.

So my colleague Steve is Anglican. Andy is, I believe, is Mennonite Brethren. And then Troy is non-denominational charismatic. Okay. And we work fine. In fact, I think we compliment each other in a lot of ways in that we have our disagreements theologically, but the disagreements are always on secondary issues. And I think there's room for that.
