The Answer Man
Amongst the students at Western Washington University is Joshua Osterhaus, 34, a self-proclaimed “Christian freak” who wants to hear your thoughts on religion, no bars held. In short unannounced filmed interviews Osterhaus aims to find out what the Western population knows about religion.
"I am not challenging people about what religion they believe in, just what they already believe in," Osterhaus said . "It doesn't bother me if you are religious or not, hypocrisy is what bothers me."
He said he just wants people to know that there are rules to being Christian and he says that you can't follow some and not others. Osterhaus runs a YouTube channel, which showcases the conversations he films with random subjects that focus on all topics of religion. He isn't out to change who you are, he says, he just wants to see what you know about your own beliefs. If you say no thanks to his interview, he won't have hard feelings.
With a simple inquiry to draw conversation, such as “Do you have any questions about religion?” Osterhaus will try and talk with anybody who will give him the opportunity. He said he likes to hear from people of all beliefs and that he likes to learn as much as he likes to teach.
