There was a kid I knew in high school, really nice guy but super evangelical. And even though he was nice (he legitimately was a nice guy, it wasn’t “Christian” nice), he would regularly try to save my soul because Jews were going to hell according to his pastor and he was legitimately worried about it. And then one day he said to me, “we got a new pastor at our church and he says Jews are the chosen people, so you’re not going to hell anymore.” I was amazed that all it took was a new guy telling him stuff from the front of a church to change his mind.

A couple of years later, he came out of the closet and did some activism about gay marriage before Obergefell vs. Hodges was decided. Sadly, a couple of years later, he died of Leukemia.

I miss you, David. You were weird as fuck, but in a fun way. And you really were a nice guy… just also super ignorant.
