0:06.0	Tetrackermatism.
0:10.0	I grew up in church, so I kind of knew a lot about basic Christian things.
0:29.9	I went to a Southern Baptist church, so it was like dressed fairly nicer, you know, khaki pants, button up.
0:36.8	We sang hymns. We sang songs and they would preach
0:42.7	at the end. We would take communion about once a month. And it was a lot of people that I would
0:47.2	see throughout the week, too. It wasn't just like, I would only see them on Sunday. So yeah,
0:52.0	I grew up there. Then we kind of stopped going every Sunday
0:55.4	about fourth or fifth grade. And we were just going every now and then, holidays. That was about

1:39.2	like I'm seeing you at church on Sunday and you're encouraging me to live my life one way, but then
1:43.8	I'm seeing you
1:44.3	outside of church doing something completely different. So it felt, it felt like you're holding two
1:49.4	north magnets together and they're like repelling against each other. And I'm like, I don't know how to
1:53.0	feel about this right now. And you think most of the people around you felt the same way?
1:58.7	I think if they were being honest, yes.
2:07.2	I think even outside of that church in my hometown, I grew up in Georgia, so most everybody went to church.
