Do you remember reading anything else on that email?
Eve WileyGUEST
I just kept going through emails, and then I started clicking on the ones from the Yahoo Messenger boards, and they were things like Single Mothers by Choice, um, Donor Conceived Persons, you know, all, all of these words.
Eve WileyGUEST
It was like learning a new language.
Eve WileyGUEST
And I just remember reading the same thing over and over and over again, that my, my mom, when she would tell her story to these people online, it was like, "I, I don't know how to tell my daughter."
Jay DyerHOST
And so I want to discuss a little bit about this because it's illustrative for what is not working anymore and why so many people are moving in our direction.
Jay DyerHOST
And it's also something I've noticed about Christianity, especially online Christianity in the last, I don't know, how long have I been involved in that? I mean, IM messages and Yahoo Chat in the year 2000, 2001 [laughs] debating people and, uh, internet chat, message boards and all that.
Jay DyerHOST
So, you know, 26 years of online Christianity.
Jay DyerHOST
Um, it really illustrates, I think, some of the flaws and problems going on in this world that I've seen forever, and I also wanna talk about some of the areas where it, it reflects broader problems with modern Christianity in general amongst all the groups, whether you're Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, whatever, Evangelical.

Jamie HeaslipGUEST
Um, I must have been 15 or 16 or something like that, and it was the first time something got written really nice about me in the Leinster Leader of all places, right? I know it's a well-known, uh, paper.
Jamie HeaslipGUEST
Um, and I remember my brother was living in Japan at the time, and I was reading over the phone to him, or it could have been Yahoo Messenger or something at the time, right? But I was reading to him the report, and I came off it, and my dad was like, "Look, it's great that you got a good report and all that, but, like, if you believe all the good stuff they write about you, you're gonna have to believe all the bad stuff they write about you if that becomes your, like, source of truth." And he goes, "That's not your source of truth." Like, he's like, "Your coach essentially is your source of truth."
