I am perplexed by Pastor Young.

He admits earnest "love" of Trump from 2015 to 2020 until COVID hit when he discovered the callousness that overtook his Christian friends mirroring their "good Christian" president.

Obviously, the pastor didn't hear Trump's announcement words about Mexicans in 2015, his admussion of his grabby hobby with women in 2016, ridiculing a person with a disability in 2017, etc., etc., etc.

Young seems to finally to have had a literal "Come to Jesus" epiphany in regards to the Victim-In-Chief.

Good for him, even though he's a bit of a Johnny-come-lately.

Or what he said after Charlottesville.

No, he didn't hear them. we often do not hear things that we don't want to hear from people who ARE saying other things we DO want to hear.

It is a common problem.

It is usually only when we are immediately faced with the reality of certain things that those things become visible, become real.

That is why (barring personal experience) analogies and stories are FAR more persuasive than terabytes of solid data. It is why biblical parables are so powerful.

If you REALLY want to persuade someone, tell them a story.
