The thing is, when I was a child in an Evangelical church, I listened to the adults talking, saying that being told to turn off their Christian music was a sign that the Devil owns this world, etc, and advising each other to combat "godlessness" (LGBT, feminism, other religions, etc) with amping up the Christianity at work including the music. I saw people plan to do this deliberately as part of claiming they were being persecuted for being openly Christian at work. That's why I think Lynn isn't so innocent.

I was also encouraged, as a child, to "tell people God's truth", including statements not far from what Emily's spouting. I didn't say things like that to random adults because of my personality, more or less, but I wasn't the only child encouraged to do that.

Furthermore, right now when queer people are being called "groomers" and the libel about queer=pedophilic is being resurrected in all its gory zombie glory, I am kind of suspicious about Lynn sending a kid spouting these provocative statements to LW, because there are people who would paint any interaction he has with her as Dangerous. I worry this is going to be a trap. I'd worry even more if Emily were Earl.

I mean, I could be wrong, but these are some of the experiences informing my opinion.
