plastics, affairs, and concerts for Jesus.

All that and more on this week's episode of Ask Science Mike. He's got answers even though we may not understand. He'll talk anyway.

We've got problems. He won't solve them.

But I'm talking, talking, talking till the flu in the face science faith in life.

Ask Science Mike.

Welcome to Ask Science Mike, the weekly podcast where I answer your questions about science, faith, and life.

I'm your host, Mike McCarck, known online as Science Mike, although I am not a scientist.

I answer questions honestly and

vulnerability after doing a lot of research to give you the best

evidence-based answer I can. That's how it works if you're new, but if you're

not what do you say? Let's get it works if you're new, but if you're not, what do you say?

Let's get it started.

Hi Mike, my name is Jill, and I have a question about big event conversion and what happens afterwards.

There's an event in my hometown next month where a Christian band are going into schools and at the end of the week there's a big concert where people can in

in inverted commas find out more about Christianity. I went to lots of these types of

events in my youth and I had the whole article conversion experience. Then I lost my faith and became very

cynical about a lot of my early experiences and now I'm just beginning to put it all

back together and the litigious podcast has been invaluable here. My 12-year-old kid wants to go to this concert and I'm not going to stop her, but I'm a bit

skeptical about emotional manipulation, especially where teenagers and preteens are involved.

I'm all up for emotional manipulation where I'm buying into it honestly and with open eyes.

I take the 14 year old atheist kid to rock concerts and I love it.

So my questions are, one, am I right to be skeptical about emotional manipulation for Jesus?
