00:00:00 Sure, I think fear is part of it, but I also think comfort is a bigger part of it.
00:00:03 I don't think it's fear of damnation.
00:00:05 I think it is fear of social acceptance or lack thereof.
00:00:09 It is easy to be a Christian.
00:00:13 It is easy to be Christian and have your peers not look at you funny, have your family celebrate your choice,
00:00:23 not feel like you're strange or different or other.
00:00:27 and there's a comfort factor to it it's something that our you know many of our parents or our
00:00:35 grandparents or great-grandparents and a long line of our people we're familiar with and you
00:00:41 don't have to deal with the same um difference that those of us who are also true have to deal
00:00:49 with and they lack the courage to stand on things that they know to be true so the more and more
00:00:56 they wake up to truth the more they have to do radical mental gymnastics you know like
00:01:07 black hebrew israelites or like uh the british israelists um or christian identity 0.71
00:01:16 you know we was jews because you have to do this painful mental gymnastics to make it work 0.62
00:01:24 and it's it's funny and it's silly from the outside from the inside there is a big hurdle
00:01:32 to break free of that and to embrace something that's different something that isn't mainstream
00:01:40 yet something that is not familiar to your co-workers or to your family or to your friends
00:01:47 that you have to explain and you have to have the ability to um stand tall and be looked at funny
00:02:00 none of us we we are all social creatures and as much as many of us may pound our chest and pretend
00:02:07 that we're above it we all have a reluctance to be looked at as strange or different or odd
00:02:14 or other we all want to fit in and rejecting christianity and turning to also true
00:02:22 is a degree of that depending on your family depending on your peer group
00:02:27 so you have to face truth on its own terms instead of on the terms that are comfortable
00:02:33 to you and i think people shy away from that discomfort i think that's the biggest thing
