QUOTES

Jon: “So again, I come from this, this Christian worldview, and, and sin has become, I think, almost a central topic in this world view that I come from. And I think it's really an old story. I think we're fixated on the brokenness and depravity of man.”

Scott: “There has been I think people would argue this and extreme obsession. With the sinfulness of people like me, meanwhile, being perfectly fine with trashing the entire planet, or eating animals that have been tortured, you know.”

Jon: “I think we make sin, I have to speak from within my worldview, at least initially, I think we make sin far too big of a deal. And so it's it, he's made the biggest deal of it, he can, so we don't need to anymore.”

Jon: “Tolerance is a beautiful concept, but I think it went too far as to mean, tolerance means acceptance of every single worldview is equally valid. And pretty quickly, you and I could come up with some worldviews that we'd say no, that's morally evil, and should be opposed.”

Jon: “Again, I think some of my current worldviews to some of my goal is to live as humanly as possible. Part of that humanity, humanity means I will suffer, it is a given I will die someday I will get sick someday. So suffering is a given.”

Jon: “Grief is one of those moments where we just need someone to sit with us. There will come a time to give answers or to talk or to give perspective. But usually, the power we have is in the power of our presence, not in our words.”

Jon: “I don't want to miss a moment of it. I want to fully experience the sadness, the loss, the suffering, the saying goodbye because death is a part of life.”

Jon: “The concept of abundance starts to push my thinking back into that kind of negativity versus positivity mindset. Because we don't believe there's a an abundance, we're out there taking everything we can as quickly as I can, and to hell with the people who are going to drown and die.”
