MynameisChristy, andtodaywe'regoingtobecontinuingonin a seriesthat I'vebeendoingondeconstructingBiblestories, storiesthatweweretaughtinchurch, storiesthatweweretaughtinSundayschool, andseeingifwecancometo a differentconclusionthantheconclusionthattheywantedustocometo.
Whenyou'reraisedin a Christianchurch, especially a high-controlChristianchurch, youarefedthesestoriesandtaughtthatyou'resupposedtointerpretit a certainway, you'resupposedtofeel a certainwayaboutit, andthatthereisonelessontogetoutofit, andthey'llgiveyouthelesson.
If I can't dothat, if I needtodigintothehistoricalcontext, theancientlanguages, if I needtocontacttheologians, andbiblicalscholars, andreadconcordances, andallofthat, then I don't thinkit's theinspiredwordofGod, and I don't thinkthatit's thepathtotruthmeantforallpeople, becausenotallpeoplehaveaccesstothosethings.
I thinkthisisprobablythebiggestproblemwithSundayschool, withtheindoctrinationthatkidsgetinSundayschool, isthatthesechildrenarebeingtaughtbytheseadultstheseveryscarystories, thesestoriesthatkidsshouldnotbelearningabout.
I hadtolearnthatonmyown, becausenobodyevertaughtme.
誰も教えてくれなかったから、自分で学ばなければならなかった。
Nobodytaughtmetoputmyselfinsomeoneelse's shoes, andsowhen I'm beingtaught a storyabout a childwhosefatherisholding a knifeoverhimaftertyinghimdowntoanaltar, I never, until I wasanadult, eventhoughtabouttheperspectiveofIsaacinthatsituation, becausethepointisn't, it's notaboutIsaac.

しかし、主の使いが天から彼に呼びかけて言った、『アブラハム、アブラハム』。
Hesaid, donotlayyourhandontheboyordoanythingtohim, fornow I knowthatyoufearGod, seeingyouhavenotwithheldyourson, youronlysonfromme.

I rememberreadingthestoryofAndreaYates, whichthat, thatstoryjustbreaksmyheart.
アンドレア・イェーツの話を読んだことを覚えている。
I, itbreaksmyheartforthekids.
子供たちのことを考えると、心が痛みます。
ItbreaksmyheartforAndreabecause I thinksomuchofwhatsheexperiencedwasoutsideofhercontrol.
アンドレアが経験したことの多くは、彼女がコントロールできないことだったと思うからだ。
I thinkitwasseverementalillnessmixedwithseverereligiousindoctrinationanditjustcombinedfor a really, reallybad, badthingthathappened, a veryunfortunateincident.
重度の精神疾患と重度の宗教的洗脳が混ざり合って、本当に、本当に、悪い、悪いことが起こってしまった。
And I'm notgoingtogetintothedetailsofAndreaYates.
そして、アンドレア・イェーツについて詳しく触れるつもりはない。
Youcanlookituponline, butAndreaYatesdidthinkthatsheheard a voicetellinghersheneededtokillherkidstosavethem, I thinkfromSatan.

Youmightseethisverydifferentlythan I do, andthat's OK.
私とはまったく違う見方をするかもしれないし、それでいいんだ。
But I likesharingmyperspective.
でも、私は自分の視点を共有するのが好きなんだ。
I likehearingyourperspective.
私はあなたの見解を聞くのが好きだ。
And I likejusthavingthistimetokindofexploretheseideas, toexplorethesethingsthatweweretaughttobelieve, turnthemaround, flipthemontheirhead, youknow, breakthemapart, rebuildit, figureoutwhereareweatinallofthis?
