What is up, Humans of the world. It is your boy, Professor. Why, This is my first podcast called my two shipments. God, I'm actually really nervous. So, like the reason I start this podcast was because there's a lot of things in the world that I just have strong or my little opinions on Some things I think are things we don't even need discussed or things that we need to discuss. Things that you know are off or odd or just just need to get, you know, Brown to the open. And so I started this podcast to really get well to give my two shipments, but also just to, you know, get y'all's opinion and just to hear what you guys think. And you know what you think about my opinion when you guys understand and there's just a disclaimer, like most, most of the things I see on here will be my opinion. Some of it will be a lot of them will be backed by a whole lot of facts. Or, you know, anything like that was my full on opinion. Now, sometimes I will, you know, come on here and just talk about, you know, things that are factually true. Some things that have, you know, backing with science or surveys or polls or whatever it might be. But there are times where I'll come on here and just spit straight facts. But the majority of the time, it would be my two shipments on just random stuff, you know, whether it be, you know, anime, video games, politics, you know, dating. Um, you know, exercising, you know, self journey and things like that. And I will talk about myself journey because, like, you know, I've been through a lot and I've talked a lot and lived a lot of life, even not only 21 but I've had a lot of life, you know, throwing at me, even at 21. So there's a whole lot of things, and I can say that I've been through even at this young age. So I will just throw it when I've given what I've gotten from that and just throw out to you guys say, Hey, this is my two cents on, you know, dating or this is my two cents on eating healthier whatever it is. So I want you guys to just take all those things with a grain of salt and all these things that I'm going to say in this first podcast with a grain of salt, because all of it is again my own opinion and draw my experience. If I ever do have anything with facts, I will say disclaimer. There's a lot of facts in this podcast links or a description. So that way you guys can know everything. I get everything I you know I'm talking about and you guys can you know look at the information for yourself and with all that other way with two minutes and 15 seconds of that out of the way, Let's get started. I want to put my two shipments on, you know, just like on the church now, like before. You guys, like, you know, focusing community comes out and crucified me. Let me, anyway, before the Christian community comes out, you know, try and take me out, Let me explain. So in my entire life, I've been to about 7 to 8 churches within that, you know, 21 years of life. And throughout that time, I can tell you that I've only found probably three churches I'd ever want to visit again. And now this has nothing to do with, like certain, you know, belief that the church has had nothing to do with the idea of like going to church. It has really the idea of just the church has this problem or the majorities have been to have this problem of the sick are allowed in the hospital. What I mean by that is that people who come to church have this expectation that yo, I'm sick. I want to be healed or I'm sick. I want to find additional information about this cure or I'm sick. You know, that kind of feel like when you go to a hospital, you expect them to have some inclination of what's wrong with you? You're sick to be healed. And that's the exact same thing here in the church where if you're spiritually sick thing, you're supposed to go to church to get spiritually healed. The problem is, most of the church people were like, Hey, hey, you can't come into this church. Well, why not? I'm spiritually sick. Well, yes, but here we only ****, we only take in the healthy, the already healed. And you kind of think you're like, self like what the heck, It makes no ******* sense. Why in the world with a church say, Hey, you can't come in here to get spiritually healed because you only take in people who already healed doesn't make any sense. And the thing is, it's not just isolated to one church or two churches I've seen. And multiple churches were just this idea that Hey, if you're not spiritually healed, you cannot come into the place they're supposed to spiritually heal you, you know, And that's just a really big problem, I find, because it gives us negative stigma about the church where it's like, Oh, they're all perfect Goody two shoes. They you don't really care about anybody else but themselves. If you stay away from congregation, you're a terrible person. If you're coming in with a lot of baggage, no one was going to help you. You know, the churches have the resources for themselves, only care about promoting, you know, products and things like that. And some churches are like that where they only care about the church itself and not the people who come in the church to get help and learn about God and really build and develop their relationship with God. They only care about, hey, Bibles Bible from us because our Bible sometimes is somehow 10 times better than that other Bible. Or go ahead, come into our church. We will totally talk to you about God. But let me first tell you about like the 16 16 other events we have going on and that some of you have to pay for And don't forget to donate, you know, don't make sure you and that little little things around to make sure you put a couple of dollars and you sense in there, you know, it is kind of that weird thing that churches have, where they're more. They care more about preserving the church churches, sick sanctity and sacredness over the idea of actually having people come to the church. It actually gained a love and appreciation and gratitude for life and for God and for people who were also Christians and getting that fellowship with other Christians as well. I wanted to highlight a few key examples When I was around 10, I went to this one church in Universal City and I went to the church because it was a church that I had thought would be a good place for me. I knew a couple people. There's people who I thought were good friends and people who were able to help me and, you know, really start to develop my relationship with God. The real problem is, the second I got, you know, inducted in that church. It became this huge issue of where I could not find a single person to tell me any straight answers. It was always just like platitudes and stuff. Not only that, it's just that, like, I felt afraid to tell them, like things I did wrong. Because remember, another person around my age got up and told a sin he had done. And, like, you know, during the during the sermon during that time, people were like, Oh, yeah, you know, it's okay, you know, God will forgive you then like a lily two hours later, that's all. Some of the same people really harassing this kid saying, Yeah, man, you're such a terrible person. Why were you doing that? You know, if you come to our church is supposed to be, you know, holy and understand. You're supposed to be in a relationship with God. Why you? Why you messing up like this, man? It's not you and stuff like that. It's like as you already knew this kid. And as they did, as they said, you know, you're not supposed to mess up. You're supposed to be a Christian, supposed to understand all the other things are supposed to be holier than now. And that's the problem. I think that's the real target. Hitting the real nail on the head of this cold conversations is that it's the holier than thou, um, thought to it, and I will talk about other types of Christianity later. But this can't be about Christianity that I really find the most anger inducing because it gets this idea that, you know, just because you're a Christian and you've been a Christian for so long because you're part of the congregation because you're part of this church is because you've done this is what you have done that because you've gone to the bake sales and, you know, swap meets and ****. You know that you're the most amazing person in the world. You don't have to worry about it making mistakes. And if you do make mistakes that you are somehow exempt from any kind of, you know, reprieve or having to ask for forgiveness or having to talk to anybody because you are automatically just so holy that you don't have to worry about it and that God's already you know, young you that special little star saying this person is never even within this person messes up. They are automatically still better than you, you know, And then all officers had that mentality and sometimes for the pastors to have that mentality and just straight up cruel that we project that kind of image on to people new to the churches, you know. And, you know, I also put this idea. It's all some Christian media, but that's again. That's a topic for another day. But you see everywhere where this holier than thou aspect, where someone wants to know more about God and they want to know really what Christian is all about. And they come into this church with that expectation and there soldier let down. But I only let down their given this negative taste in the mouth when they go off and they say, And someone asked them, Well, how was your first experience with another Christian and their experience? Are there word? Coming back is man, It was ****. I literally went there to learn about God and see, there's all I think, this whole, you know, believing in God and reading the Bible and becoming a Christian and really enveloping my heart and my mind and my soul into God and you November, that relationship and I left really feel like it's not worth any of that. It's all a bunch of ********. It's about a bunch of hooey. I don't recommend anyone trying to do this. It's just a bunch of crap. If you think that, you know you're going to get something out of it. You're probably wrong because this church really just showed me all I need to see. And I really want to avoid that in the future. Self people can really get the idea of Hey, we don't want to act this way. We don't want to give people the impression. And so another example I have was when I got older was when a friend of mine, she had a son of hers, um, out of infidelity, where she wasn't married to the guy. They got married later on, which is good, but like it took a little bit for them to get married. So But they had the kid early and didn't have it while they were married. And her expectation was she was gonna go to church and say, Hey, had a son and then asked, Who is the father? How long you've been married? That was her expectation, and she's gonna tell them Hey, you know we weren't married, but we were actually plan on getting married, such and such and so on. You know, that was the whole plan. And so she went to the church and they said, Oh, who's this little guy? And she gave him his name and things like that. And after that, I just asked Oh, how long you guys are married And she says, Well, we weren't technically married yet. Your plan getting married in the next couple of months. But the church just paused. From what I have heard that churches paused. They said, So you had this child while you were not married. And she said Yes. And the church just looks at her with this devious and just disgusted Look on their face saying, You know, you're gonna go to **** for this. You clearly do not understand what being a part of God's word and God's covenant means and what it means to actually be in his word and things like that. Like they were just just dogging her for this thing that happened, and it wasn't as if she was, like, abandoned her child or being a terrible mom or anything like that, she was being a great mom, you know, taking her son to church, having her him be that as one of his first experiences. It was just a terrible experience she had when she was trying to other people before to support her and have her back and give her resources to help take care of the child and make sure grow up. It grew up very well and loving and honest and true and and the love of God as well. That was the whole idea that what you were expecting. That's what's supposed to do by actually confessing to the church and telling them, Hey, this is what I did. This is what I'm going to do. Can you guys help me? That's what she's looking for. She was looking for help myself help. They gave her scrutiny and judgement and hatred, and just overall, I'll discuss, look on their face. There's a lot more examples I can give you all and you know, there's a lot more things that can talk to you guys about about churches and different church events and things like that, and I will talk about it because I think the church is one of the things that you need to scrutinize, not God, not the Bible. And I think that I'm talking about the church itself the way the church conducts itself because it has been so many years since I have been to a church at least 23 years. But I can tell you, I remember 99.98% of the experience that I've had all the churches, their events, their sermons there, um, you know, parent meetings, just all the experiences. And I remember a lot of good ones, but several bad ones as well. And things that definitely need to be, you know, talked about and shine the light on in the church. Because if we don't, then these things will continue to b present in the church and be continued to be actively promoted the church. And then people are going to look at, you know the church and say, Well, this is normal. This is normal. This is how churches conduct themselves. No, this is not normal because I've seen churches do the exact opposite. Do the exact opposite of what I am of these examples I've given you. And they have flourished and only flourish. They've had tons of people continue to go to the church and continue to thrive and grow their relationship with God. And so I want that to be something that people can take happiness in him. Even if they don't become Christians, I'll let them to go there and talk to the people.
