...repeat, made scary: hope and joy. A how to on how to be with other races (OTHER RACES!) while at a sports event. A how to on how to be Christ-like in a nightclub (CHRIST IN A NIGHTCLUB, HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? SCARY!).

He picks controversial ideas that scare people. People pay attention to what scares them. That is self-preservation attracting our attention.
