i don't endure being constantly called stupid because i need to be in the consensus. i didn't watch basically everyone from my childhood de-convert and hold on to the faith because i'm a conformist. it's the opposite. acts 22:19-24 (kjv) and i said, lord, they know that i imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: and when the blood of thy martyr stephen was shed, i also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. and he said unto me, depart: for i will send thee far hence unto the gentiles. and they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live. and as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air, the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
