Hello folks, I am the shameless Berg.
I hope you're doing well today.
So happy Sunday.
This morning I went to church and I found myself in the unusual position of being approached by a uh gentleman there who watched my testimony video recently, and he enjoyed it, and I'm glad that he enjoyed it.
But it made me realize like what an interesting position this puts me in.
You know, having made this channel, I didn't distribute anything to the people I know, and there's a reason for that.
It's not because I'm scared or ashamed, it's just nobody was listening anyway.
I I couldn't even begin to approach the topic because people would shut down before I could even get there.
So I made a bunch of videos and I sent them out to the world because I wanted to be heard and I wanted to be understood.
It's that simple.
And um, so I didn't expect to be in a position of you know, returning to church and being told by a fellow churchgoer that he had watched this video and enjoyed it.
And so I prepared some notes here.
I don't have a whole lot of time, and I don't have a teleprompter, I'm not making enough money off of this anymore to consider getting a teleprompter.
So I prepared a few notes.
Um, just my thoughts that I want to share.
Because, you know, since I will be going to this church and all, and I know that at least one, you know, gentleman there is watching my videos.
I felt it kind of necessary to explain certain aspects of my philosophy here.
Um, because I know it's not gonna sit well with a lot of people.
I know it hasn't sat well with a lot of people, and so I just need to lay it out there so that again, I just want to be heard and understood, whether you agree with me or not, you know, whether you agree with my tactic or not, or my conclusions, they are what they are, and I just want to be heard and understood.
Okay.
So here's what I have to say.
Today I was told by a fellow churchgoer that he enjoyed my testimony video.
Well, it places me in an interesting position to be a content creator watched by a fellow churchgoer, whom I know takes issue with a lot of my content, and I know you do.
It felt incumbent upon me to address my philosophy of love and hate, okay, to really clarify the matter of what that looks like for me.
Okay.
So, do I hate all non-whites?
No.
Um, I can show love on an individual basis to someone while also holding the view that on the national level, it's best for the races to be distinct and separate from each other.
I maintain that.
I don't think that this is working, and I think it's pretty demonstrable and obvious why it's not working.
So that means that even though society isn't arranged in the way I think is best and most healthy, even though I would prefer ethnic and cultural homogeneity, I can still treat the individual in front of me with decency.
Okay, because obviously the arrangement isn't what I would prefer, which means that I am surrounded by people that are ethnic and or cultural outsiders.
And you know, face to face on an individual level, I absolutely can be loving and kind.
Um, do you favors, have your back.
I can do these things on an individual level in a spirit of loving kindness, while at the same time maintaining that this social experiment is not working.
It's extremely destructive, particularly for my people.
If love means letting my people and my nation be overtaken by people who threaten what and who I love through a racial replacement and destruction, sorry, no, can't do it.
Do I understand that not every single non-white out there poses a threat to me necessarily, poses a threat to my family, my people, or whatever.
No, no, not really.
But collectively speaking, we have a problem here.
Collectively speaking, diversity is clearly not our strength, and that's just a bunch of brainwashing.
It doesn't matter how you look at it, it's just a bunch of brainwashing.
And you can get that brainwashing through certain uh religious profession or certain interpretations, or you can get that brainwashing through education, uh, propaganda, television, but it's all nonsense.
Diversity is not our strength.
So, between indications in the Bible that the nations being mixed together isn't a good thing, and plain observation, life experience, and knowledge of history, diversity is not at all our strength.
This isn't love to me, okay?
This is not love to me.
This is downright criminal negligence of the most shameful sort.
Because it it's too cowardly and it doesn't have the grit to admit that this isn't working.
You know, all in the name of happy feely, uh goodie, whatever, fairness, so called.
So the same Jesus who taught to love one's neighbor was speaking among neighbors, who were his neighbors, those of his kin, both in blood and in spirit.
He also repeatedly told his apostles not to go into the way of the Gentiles, insisting that he came only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
And a careful study of the scripture will show that that's exactly what he was doing, exactly what he said.
He did draw these distinctions.
Uh he regarded Canaanites as dogs, true story, as we see in the account of the Canaanite woman.
Let's see, God said he loved Jacob and hated Esau.
He said this in the most plain terms possible.
Clearly, then the kind of love Jesus is talking about doesn't mean that you fling your gates open to anyone who wants to show up and take residence among you.
Clearly, the kind of love Jesus is talking about is one where there are still distinctions between peoples, and that he isn't advocating for turning your nation into a multiracial polyglot, such as we have.
When we were told to take the gospel to the nations, we weren't expected to invite all the nations to live amongst us on our own land.
Um, this is a suicidal arrangement that will absolutely result in the destruction of my people.
I want my people to go on living with their own unique distinctions.
I want my people to have self-determination.
And don't even go there with me on the there's neither Jew nor Gentile.
Okay, well, it also says there's neither male nor female, neither bond nor free.
Yet, behold, are there not males and females?
And do you have a problem with that distinction?
Are you okay with the distinction between male and female?
Are you okay with the fact that they definitely are different?
You ought to be, but if you insist that they're distinct and different, well, I insist that then Jew and Gentile still distinct and different.
Do you see what's happening here?
There are distinctions made.
Even though there's this unity available in Christ because you know, he died for all, all who believe and confess that uh he died, was buried in rose again, and that through his blood were cleansed or saved.
Yes, there is a spiritual unity in him, but this wasn't contingent upon turning our nations into these globalized multiracial polyglots.
That's not what's happening here.
It's not what we were asked to do.
It does not follow that because that spiritual unity exists, that that's what we have to let happen to our nations.
No.
Um, so you know, because I feel this way, it doesn't mean we have to hate everyone else, but forcing a destructive social experiment upon people who don't want it is horrifically evil.
No matter whose feelings it may hurt for me to say that, no matter if it's done in the name of goodness and love and fairness and righteousness.
It's not good, it's not fair, it's not right.
If this social experiment spells the destruction of my people, my culture, my history, and my heritage, and it does.
I'll not be told that it is love to just allow this to happen without speaking against it, without taking some action against it.
If I love, we mean having no racial loyalty or solidarity.
Well, that isn't love in my eyes.
It is a recipe for individual and collective suicide.
I cannot both say I love even my own children, while also doing and saying nothing to oppose a system that wants them erased through admixture, perverse sexual lifestyles, and mass non-white immigration.
Some may wonder if I am changing my tone to be a little less cold and vulgar.
Why not take all of my older content down?
Well, for one thing, all of that content is preserved across several websites already, so I may as well keep it up on my own channel.
For another thing, they were my honest thoughts and feelings, and I explain exactly why I came to feel that way.
I was being completely honest, and I can't say I regret it at all, or feel bad about it, not one bit.
But I also want a record of my journey.
I want the development of my thoughts to be apparent to anyone listening in.
I am provocative on purpose, because I'm trying to get people's attention and make them listen to reason to force them to confront a lot of ugly and inconvenient truths.
Doing this in a provocative way is literally the only way to grab the attention of sleeping and complacent people who are clearly not paying attention to what's happening.
And I watch people get more outraged by the fact that I'll say some offensive things, that I'll call out these uncomfortable, inconvenient truths.
They get more upset about that than they get upset about the crimes against my people that I raise.
Like that recent, you know, stabbing the black man that just got up and stabbed this Ukrainian refugee to death on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, Irina Zerutzka.
you know, get more mad at what I have to say than what's happening here.
Um crimes against our people are happening all of the time, and the news isn't covering it.
It's not gonna be plastered all over national and international headlines, and it's probably not going to get your average church goer to be as fired up and get their feathers as ruffled as when I say hurdy words.
So that's a problem to me.
And until people can start being more upset about what's happening and less upset about a guy that's just saying it in a kind of caustic and offensive tone sometimes instead of handling it all with constant kid gloves.
Well, I mean you gotta you gotta ask yourself where where are your priorities, you know, that all this is happening, and then you know, I sleep.
But then the moment that I say something, oh you know, let's get up in arms and burn the world down over it, and let's harass this guy's family and just haunt him forever and ever and ever to try to berate and punish him because he dared speak his mind in a way that might hurt some people's feelings.
Oh, well, you know, just too bad, okay?
Too bad.
You know what hurts my feelings?
The fact all this is going on, I get gaslit about it, and I get shamed for talking about it.
That's that offends me.
But does it matter to your average person whether that offends me?
Of course not.
What matters is that I'm a thought criminal and I say hurty feely things.
Okay.
So I don't know, maybe try taking crimes against my people seriously.
Maybe try taking the situation we find ourselves in seriously, our erasure, our replacement.
Um look, no matter what someone's in times views are, because a lot of people have like rapture rites, okay?
They have this in times paralysis where you know they see all these things happening, it looks a lot like the end times.
Look, I mean, I agree, okay?
But like, let's just be humble about this.
For 2,000 years, there's been the idea that this was imminent.
Okay, this goes goes back all throughout our history.
The idea of the eminency of the return and all of this stuff.
You know, can can we just extend that maybe your time scale might still be off?
You I mean, we could be decades away or centuries away, you just don't know.
But what I do know is we find ourselves in this situation and we still need to take action.
We still have a duty to these people, we still have a duty to future generations to take this seriously and to act like their tomorrow is worth fighting for.
Does it matter?
Does it not?
I have two young white kids.
I don't like what's happening to white people as a demographic, as a race.
I don't like the agenda that is being raised against us, and it's extremely obvious, and I don't like being gaslit about it.
I am completely checked out and I'm totally done with it.
And that's why I have to speak out.
If nobody else is going to do it, I will.
And it I don't care how unpopular it might make me.
I don't care if I'm I'm the only person left standing saying this stuff because everybody else is ditched or abandoned me.
I do not care.
I'm speaking the truth, I am raising the alarm in a time where people are just sleeping and apathetic and complacent, and if anything, that's disgusting.
That that should be the thing that gets people up in arms.
That there's still people that are sleeping and apathetic about all of this.
And I just can't take it.
I can't take it.
You know, I know for a fact this provocative tactic works.
Um, so while it may seem terribly unchristian to some, until our plight is acknowledged, and until enough people decide we have to do something about this, I'm still going to be provocative.
I will try to tone it down, you know, in terms of my vulgarity and coldness, but you know, in an environment where crimes against my people are denied, downplayed, and buried by the media, I will keep raising the issue.
If no one else will, I will, even if it makes me look like the bad guy.
I know I'm not the bad guy, and I know why I do what I do, and I have a clean conscience about it.
You know, I feel fine.
I feel fine.
I'm not a perfect person.
I'm not a perfect human, but this isn't also me saying that um, oh I feel so bad or so sorry for what I've done or what I've said.
I don't.
I don't.
Um, you know, if anybody wants to sit down and actually level with me and give me a fair hearing, I can at least explain, like, here's why I feel this way.
Here's what, you know, put me in the position of saying these things, and why I've decided that I have to come out here and say this stuff.
Just reason with me, level with me, give me a fair hearing.
Don't gaslight me.
Understand right now that all the gaslighting and the ignoring of the problems is exactly what resulted in me feeling it was necessary to do this, and why I still continue to feel that it's necessary for me to do this.
I also just frankly I needed a place to fent, I needed an outlet.
You have no idea the crippling pressure that having all of this trapped in my inside my head was having on me.
No idea.
And it's not healthy, not for that individual, nor for the people around them.
And so it was best for me to just get on camera and speak my mind.
But no, people have had such a horrible problem with that.
And they think that adding a bunch of pressure, denouncing vilifying me, harassing my family, and just raising all sorts of uh dust over it, that that's gonna somehow make things better.
That's gonna, you know, that'll definitely decompress things.
That'll definitely turn the heat and the pressure down, won't it?
Oh, yeah, that's just brilliant.
What a genius strategy.
Just genius to do that, to put all this extra pressure on somebody and to back them into a corner and to hound them just for having made videos that they don't like.
That's not I didn't send my links to anybody.
I didn't go proactively sharing it with anyone.
I didn't show up under people's roofs and shout this stuff down their throats.
I I wasn't obtrusive or obnoxious about it.
I didn't impose myself upon the people around me.
Okay?
I didn't.
I never did this stuff.
And even with people that I greatly disagreed with, you know, some for some with fundamental disagreements.
I still didn't make my disagreement their problem.
Because I figured, like I explained before, on an individual basis, I can be kind and decent to somebody, even if I completely disagree with them on fundamental core issues.
That includes tons of white people.
I can't tell you how many white people are out there that harbor views and lifestyles that are just repulsive to me.
And you know, but if you can treat me with something like kindness, even though I know you harbor views that I think are destructive and anti-civilizational, I mean I can still treat you with kindness.
We can still have a reciprocity here.
If on the other hand, by kindness you mean shutting up forever and not, you know, ever speaking my mind, you know, lest I offend somebody because herty-feely words.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not gonna live like um I'm in a padded cell, and you know, I have to be all alone with my thoughts because somebody might get their feelings hurt.
Oh boo-hoo.
You know, how about the world that cries at me about their hurt feelings?
How about they just listen to me for a change?
Care about how I'm feeling.
Is that such a novel concept?
How do you think that it ended up being this way?
Where I felt it necessary to do this.
It's because nobody was listening.
And through all of this stuff, after the doxing and the uh international hysteria and the local hysteria, do you think I feel heard?
I feel heard by I don't know, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people out there in the interweb, but by the same crowd of people that uh have made me feel unheard and unlistened to, all the more now, all the more.
You know, because if they won't give me a fair hearing, if they haven't been listening to me, and if they're still not listening to me, and granting that I might have a fair point even if they don't agree with my conclusions, if that's how it's gonna be, and you're just gonna get all worked up and huff and puff and burn the world down over it.
Well, you know, what am I supposed to do?
Huh?
You you have a problem with my thought crimes and my speech, and you think that you just get to get all up in arms and just rain hell down on me for it?
No.
No, you don't get to do that.
You don't get to do that.
And it's selective outrage with all the things going on in the world, you see fit to just completely rain hell down upon me and my family because of videos that I never sent you that you never had to watch.
And that's another thing about all of this.
Nobody had to watch them, okay?
And they have been amazingly incapable of looking back over the years that they've known me, with the things that I've actually said and done to them, with the actual experience they have had with me as a person, all of that has gone completely out the window because they discover videos that I decided to make and send out into the ether.
I knew that they could find them, but that's not the same as you know, forcing it upon them.
If I was really belligerent, I would have been forcing it upon them.
I would have been attacking them this entire time, and I haven't done that.
I've just spoken my mind, and I've done so in a very straight to the point kind of cold way sometimes, just Saying it like it is and being unafraid to say it.
And that's the other part of it.
I'm tired of people being afraid to say things.
So sometimes I've said something in a provocative way that might not even reflect the the total feeling I have on an issue.
Like there's nuance involved.
But when I'm sharing my thoughts in an environment where people are, you know, tail tucked and they're walking on eggshells and they're afraid to speak and they're still defending themselves against things like being called racist.
I'm tired of it.
I'm not gonna play the defense game.
Oh, you're racist.
No, I'm not racist because blah blah blah.
Sure, no, I'll just say I'm racist.
So what?
Because I'm trying to force the issue.
I'm done.
And I'm done with people playing defense.
That's you know, my enemies want uh me playing defense, they want me walking on eggshells.
They want all of us walking on eggshells, afraid to speak our mind, and being on our best behavior and all that stuff, and I want to smash that to pieces.
Okay, I want to strip all the power away from these words, all these thought terminating cliches, until they just don't do anything anymore, until they're completely impotent.
I want to strip all of them of all of the power, these labels, these titles, these thought terminating cliches.
And so I just figured look, since a lot of these university intellectuals have already said all white people are racist anyway, you know, all the more if you have views that are anywhere to the right of Chairman Mao, they call you a racist.
So I just figured, you know, why keep playing this game?
Why play defense?
I'm not gonna do that.
No.
So I'm not gonna get all tangled up in apologetics for you know, well, here's 10 reasons why I'm not really racist.
Well, no, I just would rather say it.
I'll just say it, okay.
Uh, because what I say is, you know, call somebody racist enough times and eventually you'll be right.
But what does it mean?
It's a nebulous term.
It means whatever people want it to mean at any given time, and they wield it like a bully club, and I'm just done playing that game.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna skirt around and dance around on eggshells over it.
That's why I would just rather wear the term.
I'd rather just be like, yeah, sure, vilify me, yeah, yeah, I'm bad, I'm racist, okay, and what now?
And what now?
Because nobody's doing that.
You know, they're using these terms because they have power, and they have been used to bully people around and to have a chilling effect on free speech.
Hey, look, a lot of people, internationally and locally, have participated in wanting to um have that chilling effect on free speech.
And what a lot of them don't see is that look, there's a lot of locals that have even agreed with me, but um, they're afraid to speak their minds.
Gee, I wonder why.
I wonder why they've become afraid to speak their minds, and why this whole ordeal involving me, you know, the shameless sperg has made them even more afraid to speak their minds.
It's not my fault.
Congratulations that so many people around here have managed to scare Americans into silence.
I hope you feel proud of that.
Does that feel like love to you?
Does that feel like loving your neighbor?
Do you see why there's some nuance in order?
Why we have to look at this thing with some nuance, why we have to have responsibility for our people.
We have to take some responsibility to future generations.
We do we can't just let everything go down the toilet in the name of hippy dippy lovey sparkly, yay, happy dippy.
No, none of that.
I'm not having it.
It's negligent, it's not loving, it's just happy feely.
That's all that is.
It's got nothing to do with real love.
And that's my philosophy of love and hate.
Okay.
I hate what threatens who and what I love.
And you know, if that makes me a bad guy, so be it.
But to me, that's necessary to have a backbone, you know, to be willing to fight back, to be willing to push back, to be willing to call something out for what it is.
Somebody's gonna have to be willing to do it, and I don't mind for that guy to be mean.
I've already paid quite a price for speaking my mind, and so I may as well just continue speaking it.
And I understand, again, that that will place me in bad standing with a lot of the Christian world.
That will have me painted as a heretic.
Okay, whatever.
I disagree, you know, not that a lot of people care, you know.
I disagree with that, and I'm not ashamed at all, obviously, shameless.
I'm not ashamed at all.
I don't feel even slightly bad.
I have a completely clean conscience.
I haven't lied.
People can call me evil, but they haven't really been calling me wrong.
Because if you actually listen to what I say, you know, here are these facts, here's this story, here's all this media, here's what led me to feel this way, here's what led to me thinking these things, and Like I've made the appeal in so many videos, whether you agree with my conclusions or not, whether you feel the same way I feel.
Here's why I think this.
Here's why I feel this.
That's what it was always about.
Please hear me.
Please understand me.
Can you do that?
I mean, seriously, but apparently not.
A bunch of people still can't do that.
And that that's exactly why I have done this.
Does this not register with people?
That's why I started this to begin with.
Because people are hysterical and cannot be reasoned with.
I know.
I've experienced enough, and this is just all the more validated that that's true.
That people just cannot be reasoned with.
So that's why I have to keep doing this.
I have to keep speaking my mind.
At least somebody hears it.
At least my message, my thoughts get out.
Do you really expect me to be quiet?
I mean, is that a realistic expectation?
No, it's not.
And I'm not gonna be quiet.
So, you know, I am gonna try to tone down some of my vulgarity.
Um, you know, with a return to faith, I do want the content that I make going forward to probably be a little less vulgar, right?
And maybe a little bit less cold and callous.
After all, I've already kind of made those points.
I made my cold and callous statements, and I don't know that there's a necessity in continuing to restate them.
But on the other hand, it's still gonna be provocative.
You know, it'll still use some kind of crass language sometimes.
That's just not gonna stop.
And if anybody knows me and you know that it's inevitable, you're gonna hear some crass language out of me sometimes.
But I mean, I will try to tone down the vulgarity some.
Um, I'll try to dial back some of the cold callousness or whatever.
But as far as like recanting the overall message, as far as recanting the overall statement that I'm making here, what my goals are here, that's not really changed, you know.
That's not really changed because this whole situation is intolerable.
So I don't have to hate everybody.
Um, I don't have to hate every non-white.
It's just that this is an intolerable situation.
And if I'm honest with myself and honest with others, as I ought to be, I think that life would be better by every metric if I just lived amongst my own people.
You know, my my grandparents and great-grandparents were forced into integrated schools with rifles at their back.
They didn't want it.
Was that good in loving?
No.
I don't think so.
I don't think that was good in loving, but it happened.
You know, forced busting, forced integration, and a lot of terrible things started happening to them from day one.
Stuff that's been minimized, buried, and downplayed, like it has been this entire time.
It continues to be.
You will hear about George Floyd forever and ever and ever, you know, even though he frankly was a criminal junkie with this horrible rap sheet, and he ultimately made a bunch of poor decisions that resulted in where he found himself.
Respiratory failure out of fentanyl.
So you'll hear forever and ever about somebody like that, but you're not hearing the stories of our people.
You know, you're not hearing about the the cruel and callous, vicious killings of our people and children.
So, you know, if everybody's gonna be silent about it, and they're just gonna get really outraged when I speak out.
Where are your priorities?
What's love to you?
I mean, whatever love is to you doesn't mean anything to me.
If that's what it amounts to, that like it's more outrageous that I'm gonna say this stuff then than what it is that I'm addressing, you know, crimes against our people, all this horrible stuff.
Where are your priorities?
How is that love?
And why should I think that that has any value at all?
I don't.
I don't, because in practice it results in a lot of destruction, just in the name of happy feely, you know, goody, whatever.
It's not good, it's not right.
And I don't stand for it, I stand against it, even if it makes me unpopular, you know.
Like I said, even if I get vilified by everyone, even if I'm left standing alone, I'm still gonna say this stuff.
I feel like it's extremely important to say.
So I guess that's about it for today.
Um, just that encounter just kind of had me thinking, you know what, let me go ahead and just state my philosophy on this.
Just to let it hang out there to explain to anybody that might be stopping by.
Obviously, I can't control who's gonna show up and watch my videos, and I'm not gonna stop making them just because it could place me in some awkward positions now and then.
Hey, I have to say what I have to say, I have to share my mind, my thoughts, and you know, if they offend people, so be it, yeah.
Um, nothing personal, man, Nothing personal, so try to not make it personal with me, right?
Even if you disagree, I mean, tough titties, right?
Grow up.
People disagree.
Sometimes people harbor offensive opinions.
It doesn't give you the right to go haunting me.
And trying to make life hell for me.
It doesn't give anybody the right to do that.
It doesn't give anybody the right to harass my family, harass my wife over it, you know.
It doesn't.
You know, people have set themselves up as judge, jury, and executioner over me over my life.
But maybe it's like Jesus said.
You know, call out the speck in my eye, but behold the plank that's in yours.
I don't know.
Search yourself, I guess.
I mean, do you really think that you're in a position to judge me?
I don't.
I don't think so.
I honestly don't think anyone is.
Um, I don't feel bad about any of this.
I have a clean conscience.
I don't take any of it back.
You know, my views and opinions can change over time.
My mode of operation, it can change.
The way I go about saying things, that can change, but all in all, look, this is what I think, this is how I feel, and here's why.
Take it or leave it.
That's always been my message.
Take it or leave it.
I just want you to hear me out and understand me.
And also just understand that wielding the bully club and raising hell is not gonna make me stop.
It is not gonna make me stop, and a lot of people have done more to advertise my message than uh anything I've done.
Just through, you know, raising uh such a fuss over it all.
It's just gotten me out there more and more.
I hope you guys understand that.
Like every time somebody kicks up dust over it and uh, you know, has a little tizzy about it, you just spread it more.
You just you spread it more.
More and more people, and and what do you think I've been trying to do this entire time?
Be heard.
That's the whole point.
So, in a way, Vanks, I guess.
On the other hand, please just chill out, man.
Just chill.
People need to chill.
Stop expecting me to stop making videos or something.
You know, stop expecting me to not harbor um views that might offend people.
It's hard to not have views that offend people in an environment where you know we're in this grand social experiment and we're told that tolerance is the height of virtue and diversity is our strength, and on and on and on.
Well, it's impossible to not offend people.
Um, you have to walk with your tail talked and walk around on eggshells in order to avoid it.
I'm just not that way.
I'm not gonna do that.
And so people can think that I'm evil or antisocial or whatever for it.
I don't care.
I mean, the more people do that, the more sure I am that I have to do this.
Do they not get that?
Like, I double down.
I double down.
I have to.
So I hope that at least makes sense.
Again, that's always been my appeal.
Please hear me, please understand.
I hope it makes sense, no matter how you feel about it or whether you agree or not.
Don't act like I'm crazy.
I'm not crazy.
Don't gaslight me.
I know what's going on.
I'm an intelligent guy.
I've done plenty of study, I've done plenty of consideration of the issues, and I've been living long enough and in enough places and different circumstances to be able to make some judgment calls using pattern recognition.
Pattern recognition is not evil, even if it leads you to inconvenient conclusions like racial differences.
Okay, you know, even if it might brush up against, you know, an interpretation that you have of a biblical doctrine.
Maybe your interpretation needs adjusting.
Huh?
Maybe it needs adjusting to be in accord with some of the obvious realities that we live in.
I I hardly think that God expects me to just blah blah blah blah blah.
None of this is real.
No, I don't think so.
I don't think so.
I think there's some nuance in order.
I think there's nuance to be found in the Bible regarding God's love and the love of Jesus Christ.
There's nuance there too.
Okay, there is.
And I don't think he's holding me to a higher standard as far as that goes.
Um, than he held himself.
Not really.
Um, not that I'll ever reach the standard.
You know, the standard of love and righteousness we find in Jesus Christ is obviously exclusive to him.
I can't reach it, but as for the love thing, it wasn't a hippie dippy thing.
Like people describe it in these super liberal terms, and it just wasn't that way.
That's not how the Bible reads, it's not what it says.
