Everything has to demonstrably pushed down people's throats, especially religion. They are always promoting the wise, all-knowing, talking head. Religion moves like and sounds like politics. Frank has a product and he is using a marketing strategy to sell it.
If he was the real deal he would have invited that young fellow in to a more private area and had a conversation where there were no winners or losers. A conversation over a cup of coffee and they could have edged closer to a common understanding or learnt something from each other. But religion is structured to have followers and charismatic, ego driven leaders when it in truth it is of utmost importance to not produce leaders, preachers or differing classes of people.
The village idiot has no less roll to play than anybody else in a religion. It has to be an all-in organic body, many parts functioning as one. That's why religion does not work, because it has predominantly self appointed leaders who lead people to them and not into humanitarian action.
The exchange was broadcast across a room and recorded, why? To promote the wisdom of Frank. It's a commercial enterprise. And what real wisdom can one have regarding God and spiritual concepts? Every word uttered about these subjects is somebodies best guess.
