Are you a real Time Traveler?
Yes! I am a unidirectional time traveler. What does that mean? Well, like all of us, I travel one second at a time, in to the future, which then becomes the present. I have been time traveling for almost 40 years, starting in 1982. I haven't yet figured out how to go back in time, nor am I trying. However, like many people, I certainly wish I could go back and change some things. For the record, I don't believe that we'll ever figure out time travel which would allow us to visit the past.
What are the lottery / power ball numbers?
Many people ask this question when they find out that I'm a Time Traveler. However, being that I'm an omnidirectional time traveler who is from the past, and not the future. I do mot have specific knowledge of the future, in most cases. That being said, I recommend choosing numbers that you like, or that are special to you. For example, birthdate, wedding anniversary, kids ages, etc. If you're a fan of LOST, like I am, you could choose 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. But, if those numbers win, be prepared to share the winnings because many other LOST fans also pick these numbers.
What's with the Rainbow?
I use the rainbow colored hearts in my profile, and some comments, for three reasons. First, I think that they look fun and I've always loved the rainbow. Second, I think that it brings attention to my comments, over other comments. It helps them stand out. Third, I don't settle for the fact that members of a sinful group of individuals have stolen a symbol that God created and are using it themselves. I think it's quite ironic and interesting that the first record of a rainbow (at least to my knowledge) was in the Bible after God wiped out the world for being so wicked and evil. See Genesis 9:13
What are your pronouns?
The short answer: He/Him/They/Them
I want to clarify why those are my pronouns: I'm a male. I don't buy in to the nonsense that we get to choose our pronouns, just like I don't believe we get to choose our gender. It's not that I don't think people shouldn't have the right to dress like a girl or pretend to be a man... I think there's a clear mental problem when an individual chooses to do that, and it might not even be their fault. Someone could have sinned against them in such a terrible way that now they want to pretend to be the opposite gender. However, it's not right to force others to use language improperly. A man is called 'him' in certain context, because HE IS A HE, not because HE THINKS HE'S A HE.

Why are you a Christian?
Short Answer: God made me do it. Longer answer here.
Do you support LGBTQ?
I do not support the actions or beliefs of members of this community, but I am empathetic towards them. I believe that they are human beings, made in the image and likeness of God, their Creator. It is my desire that members of this or any other group would see their need for forgiveness. All have sinned, and fallen short of God's glory. God demonstrated His love towards us in that while we were sinners, He sent Jesus Christ to be born of a virgin, live a sinless life, then die on the cross, in our place, for our sins.
Do you support BLM?
I agree with the statement that Black Lives Matter, and in fact, I think it's sad and disgusting that it even has to be said and affirmed. All lives matter because we're all made in the image and likeness of God. I do not, however, in any way, support the organization that goes by that name.
Why are you pro-life?
I am pro-life because I believe that murder is wrong and awful! Every human life has innate value, because we are made in the image and likeness of God, our Creator. Another reason I am pro-life could be because upon becoming a Christian, God began changing my heart and desires to make them more like His. I'm in no way finished, but I'm closer than I used to be. That being said, I don't recall any point in my life when I thought that the murder of babies was good.
Why do you say / believe the Catholic Religion is non-christian?
To be clear, I'm not saying that everyone who identifies as a Catholic is not a Christian, though I believe most aren't. This is because the Catholic church, as an organization is no longer biblically sound. I'm not quite sure when this changed, but it did. For much more information, and to learn what shaped my beliefs, check out Catholic Facts.
Why do you promote Yotta?
There are two reasons I promote Yotta. The first reason I promote Yotta is because I believe in the App and it's purpose. Many people don't have any money in savings in case of a rainy day (or job loss, etc.). Yotta makes saving money fun by gamifying it. It's a fun, free, and no-risk way to reward people for saving money. The more you have saved, the more free lottery tickets you get. And each day, you can win nothing, pennies, dollars, or a up to a million dollars. Of course, odds of winning big money are slim, but there's no cost or risk, so it's all good. The second reason is that Yotta rewards me when I share it with others and they sign up. They also are rewarded for using code BRANDT3 when they sign up. Learn more about Yotta
