    Just watched the film for the first time like a week ago, perfect timing for this interview I guess. Pretty amazing career, I love firearms and it seems like it would be an exciting thing to get into, stressful but exciting! I felt bad for David watching the film, seemed like he really wanted to do the right thing but he wasn't the owner of the business. I'm not saying he was innocent, he made mistakes for sure but he wasn't the guy the media wanted to make him out to be, that was Efraim. Efraim is a good example of a narcissist, only thinks about himself and that story with the headlights shows it perfectly. Tbh I'm surprised he made it out of jail with all his teeth with the way he acted, must have realized he needed to tone it down a bit because you can't just go around burning bridges with inmates...

    Sooo David probably doesn’t remember me, but we would go to the same gym in Miami and I had a MAJOR crush on him. This was also before the movie came out! Like 2013/14 😂😂 and he knew. BUT funny enough I worked for American Airlines and I met Miles Teller, while boarding a flight. He’s a total asshole! So good for David that he doesn’t keep in touch lol

    Because floods are common in the ancient world and tend to be remembered. The Epic of Gilgamesh predates the Bible by quite a bit and is almost exactly like the biblical flood story. So the Bible wasn't the original story

    The Bible does not contradict itself . Science wants to contradict the Bible ! Science is claims that something came from nothing(big bang) scientifically speaking they know that’s impossible there is an architect for all that we see and know. And his name is YHWH . I agree that religiosity makes people not want to believe in God but let’s stay away from it ! Follow Christ . He is the way the truth and the life (John14:6) no one goes to the father but through him including Jews.

Come back with facts both biblical and scientific than we can talk your ignorance and lack of knowledge only makes you look bad. Go seek the truth and I pray you find it .
