Bill trying to stray people from the light. Russell bringing them back
If God wanted to make the commandments mean something else like what Russell said he would've said that. Interpretation is dangerous.
Stand up for something,or fall for anything...
If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?
If you fall, then how can you stand?
what is a woman?
That's ridiculous.
I don't agree with that
Once again, Bill is outclassed by his guest.
Dude I’m not gonna lie bill has totally blown it and seems so smug everytime he does it
This is dope though
It’s come up a lot in my life recently
And first it was the Jewish god
Then the Christians were like
Ok we’re gonna have the same commandment BUT we’re also gonna warship this jew and his names Jesus and *explitive*
Then… idk a lot about Islam
Wonder why *chistians**explitive*
I’m gonna release a box set or maybe a album or something called “Christians on coke”
Good Christians are good people I guess
But it’s also making me wonder
If you are good because of a lie…?
They were not originally called The Ten Commandments, they were called aséret ha-dibrot or literally translated as "the ten words", "the ten sayings", or "the ten matters".
So Russell is right on point
They are not laws but rather a moral scaffolding as well as a description of living a righteous life, within the eyes of God.
It even says later in the Scriptures, if you fall, to get back up again, acknowledging the struggle as flesh bound souls, to actually live up to that structure.
People are so quick to dismiss the wisdom in Scripture. I was one of those people for a long time. I am beginning to understand now though.
Holy Moly. I liked that perspective from Russell.
Reminds me of the adage, "If you don't stand for something, you fall for everything. "
Blessings.
Except he is misinterpreting them. They are pretty straightforward
@@timh8324
Nah, God is a metaphor that we should all strive towards... An ideal. Not a man in the sky holding dominion over humanity. The point is to hold us in control of our own morality. These "rules" are deeper than "lolz u thinkz god is real" or "God is the ultimate answer". These things are centuries of observing human behaviour and accidentally landing on something that bloody works.
@@paulpesci1 have you ever seen a building built by guys just throwing the materials in a pile - no matter how many times you do it it won't work? Anything complicated that we have ever had on the planet has had someone create it. So you are telling me the planet which is infinitely more complicated than anything we could ever do does not have a creator - demonstrate how that works please
@@timh8324
Fundamental Christians and atheists both make the same mistake of taking things too literally. Fact is we don't actually know and much of the Bible is accumulated human knowledge over centuries, parables, myths and stories that give guidance on morality and how to structure society. I'm arguing religion is a good thing. The universe is amazingly complex and we understand much of the mechanisms... But not the origins. This still allows for a "creator" and if you choose to believe that, there's nothing to disprove it.
Congratulations on not missing the point Mr. Brand
Always a pleasure to listen to your peaceful wisdom
Hear hear
The 10 commandments are one hell of a guide to life. Like he said don't kill, don't steal,don't sleep with other people's significant other,be happy with what you have and don't covet others lives, don't lie on folks and listen to your parents.
Do all that and you have the main ingredients of a half decent person.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"
"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain"
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy" (this is my favorite one cause Christian completely wiped their ass with it and decided to pick a different day then "God" told them to)
I think humanity can do ok without any of this

@@nayb87 lol, cause Europe was much more peaceful and harmonious when Europe was a giant Christian theocracy, right? The inquisition and the crusades were so sweet and the best display of the moral superiority of Christians, right? And indeed, the most Christian nations today are definitely the most peaceful and stable: Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Jamaica, Guatemala, Ecuador, Kenya, Uganda, The Philippines… 🤡 your delusion is pathetic.
Russell has a great mind. I think what makes him special is his ability to speak as a philosopher. He really does a great job expressing his passion.
He got this demonic nonsense from Jordan Peterson
Too bad he r worded that chick
Bill sees them as a child would. Russell sees them as a parent .
Bill sees it as it is, Russ reads into the text things that are not there, matter of fact the very 1st commandment completely obliterates Russ's argument lol.. What is it about the text "You shall have no other God's before me." that leaves it up to the interpretation of just pick any God you want and be loyal to it?
1. The translation, especially in the KJV, is sketchy. The KJV was translated at a time when the English had very little contact with the eastern Mediterranean, so to say these "commandments" were perfectly translated is folly, especially where phrases and multipurpose verbs are concerned, such as "you SHALL" vs "you WILL" vs "you WOULD".
2. The way Russel is suggesting to read the Commandments, is to preface with "if you are an enlightened/pious/moral/good person..."
"You wouldnt" worship any other "God" (i.e., whatever your MORAL CENTER is), you wouldnt kill, you wouldnt steal, you wouldnt covet.... because you would have no desire to, temptation couldnt turn you, bwcause you are enlightened and focused on your moral center, your moral compass.
He's saying it's less "edicts" and more a DESCRIPTION of the actions of a moral person.
And in particular he's telling Bill that 1-4 isnt about a jealous God, but about a morally strong person having a moral fortitude, focused on ONE religion, rather than just being blown by any wind and easily tempted into immoral actions.
@TechmoChamp also he spoke on that commandment SPECIFICALLY in this clip, werent you listening?
Its not so much about WHAT you choose as your "god", and more about THAT you choose. With the WHAT part i do disagree with Russel, but i do agree with what he's saying about "one thing is your god, or everything is your god", as in "if you dont stand for something, you'll fall for everything".
Bill has all of his drugs, alcohol and money to assist him in destroying himself.
angry little athiest @@TechmoChamp
Russell Brand's articulation of his ideas has really evolved, it's elevating him so much and I'm grateful for that. He needs to be heard more
Nah fr that's facts
yeah, his gish-gallop is next level. what a fruad
He articulation helps his arguments quite a bit.
Russel is parroting other's observations here.
@@zzzzz4203 you're saying that on a video that was posted months upon months ago, which was posted well after the actual conversation they had
How did Russell Brand morph into this super being?
Dude is on point here.
He's always been smart, the world changed, and he grew up, got clean from drugs and had a family.
Yeah who woulda thought it eh? Makes me hopeful I can become more spiritual also
Very good. But missing the Mark😢 HalleluYah
He is flatly wrong and encouraging immoral people in their delusions. GOD IS WHO HE IS AND ONLY WHO HE IS and HE and our own well being require that we correctly identify HE WHO IS THE SOURCE of life and all good: JESUS (YAHASHUAH) ALMIGHTY.
I like his stuff for sure, his podcast is quirky and sometimes I can't understand what he is saying haha. But he really is a free thinker and free spirited man.
Russell is telling the TRUTH
AND HIS WISDOM... GIVES A PERFECT PERSPECTIVE.
Brilliantly said by Mr Brand, I never thought of it that way….he is so correct. God is not arrogant humans are
You don’t even know what he was saying because what he was saying didn’t make any sense
Conspiracy theorist and sexual predator!
I thought it was desperate garbage...
@@magicanimalfish1029you must’ve heard the words desperate garbage so much you decided use it yourself
God is not even real
Russssellllll!! Love this man for always being genuine.
😂😂😂😂 he is far from genuine but think as you want.
My perspective on the Ten Commandments is, when you break one it hurts you more than anyone else. They are rules for protecting ourselves. That's how much God loves us..
So murder hurts the murderer more than the victim? Explain.
@masonlerner9342 I understand you may think you’re making a good point. But you’re not. Lol stop trying to be smart.
@@masonlerner9342 in a way yes. That person is dead, they have been transported to the ever after and are not of this world anymore. So any problems they had have been solved, if there is an afterlife they can now move on to something better potentially.
The murderer has to live with what they've done, become a social pariah, be sentenced to jail for their life potentially, and suffer all of the consequences. So it does harm the person left alive in a round about way, more. Plus it's good to just not murder...
@@davidporter671maybe not but it does make for a great debate
The Ten Commandments which encapsulate the 613 mitzvah, is really g-d telling us his likes and dislikes.
Russell Brand makes perfect sense here
Russel is the wiser man in that room
He really said that so well. Thanks Russell 🙏🏼
I am a Christian, but I appreciate Russell’s respectful take on the material.
You’d be shocked to learn of the Code of Ur Nammu…

@henrylivingstone2971 1-4 are about loving and respecting the God who created you. 5-10 are about loving and respecting your neighbor. That's why Jesus says ghe 2 greatest commandments are love the lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself.
@@chrismcallister3495
The problem with that is that it implies there was a creator to humanity and the world. There is no express evidence that that is the case. Also it implies that the Abrahamic god is the true creator in the event that there is a creator.
That’s the flaw. The commandments don’t say respect life or the sanctity of life, it says to love the god expressed in the Christian canon without any indication as to why that should be the case.
@@henrylivingstone2971well, there is a very convincing proof that we and the world were created. We are HERE. Now, you can argue about WHAT created them, but the simple fact remains that SOMETHING higher than us created it. Faith calls it God. What ever that higher power is, be it a spiritual one or a cosmocolgical one, the fact remains that it must exist logically. The entirety of existance didnt just pop into reality and start its trillion year journey to me and you chatting on youtube, from NOTHING. There was SOMETHING that sparked it, and probably something that has, if not directly influenced its development, then indirectly shaped it. That should be self evident in the fact that everything is spherical. What should we call the binding law of the cosmos, if not God?
I see it like a dad telling his children “you shall have no father but me” there are many false fathers out there, but only I created you, and love you. Don’t abandon me for a fake father.
Not to mention that you, as a wise father, know that all those other fake fathers will leave your child stranded in a ditch one day
Problem is, Moses never existed, and neither did his god.

RB is spot on. Bill is out of his element attempting to discuss basic Christian principles.
😂
Russell brand said nothing about Christian principles, which don't really exist anyway...
@@jakes658 Think you might want to rewind, you might have hearing problems.
@@jakes658 judeo christian is more accurate. Atheist hate to talk about ethics and morality cause they usually lose in those topics

As a person who's not religious but isn't atheist or anti-religion... I love Russell and im glad he's able to explain this so well and idk if he's religious but if he's not im glad he actually understands the words
As a devout atheist, i am with Brand. Religion has/had a purpose for humanity. The issue is ignorance, force, hubris, etc that permeates all aspects of humanity.
The Ten Commandments are wedding vows. First four, love me only and keep our name respected and spotless. Last six, love the rest of my family and treat them just as you would like to be treated.
I've been in a Christian family my whole life and I've never heard this perspective on the commandments before. This is really interesting and you gave me some food for thought. Thank you!
What? 😂😂😂 I think you need to read them again Bill. And put down the joint.
Where was he wrong?
Have you read them?
1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall make no idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
I guess you can say the second one applies to everyone, but for the most part these are about worshipping the Christian God.
@Jake S where he said most of them have nothing to do with ethics or morality.
@@shogunc7718 They don't...
@Jake S @Jake S
5. Honor your father and your mother
6. Do not murder
7. Do not commit adultery
8. Do not steal
9. Do not lie
10. Do not covet
6 out of the 10 commandments are literally morally or ethics based, which is more than half, meaning most of the 10 commandments do in fact have to do with morals or ethics.
Russell Brand has a totally unique way of presenting ideas that is fresh and , I think, good.
Russell got it almost correct. For the most part. this man has come a long way. I have respect for him
If someone gives you an order to do something, or to refrain from doing something, you would probably want to know by what authority he is giving the order. The First Commandment gives that authority. The Second Commandment makes it clear that He is the only authority. The Third Commandment makes it clear that His authority is to be revered and respected. Without those first three commandments, there is no reason to follow the remaining commandments should it become inconvenient to do so.
Very well said 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
THANK YOU. So many miss that point.
"Who are you to say..."
And God points out EXACTLY who He is and why He has the authority to give commandments.
There is still no reason to follow those commandments because there is no proof that the bearer of that "authority" even exists.
1. I am your lord.
2. You shall not have other gods before me.
3. You shall not make idols.
4. Send me all your money.
I guess now that I have perfectly established my authority, you have no choice but to send me all your money.

Bill, it’s going to be so warm where you are headed
Some people are good at faking redemption. I don't think that's the case with Russell Brand....that is an incredibly enlightened line of thinking.
Most of them have nothing to do with morality?? So lying, murder, being faithful to your spouse, stealing, honoring your parents, have nothing to do with morality?? What an ignorant thing to say.
Honoring parents isn’t about morality. Honor is earned. Parents who abuse their children don’t deserve it.
4 of 10 is indeed not most of the 10 commandments
@@Babylauncher3000 interesting take. I have abusive parents (my bio dad severely neglected and abandoned me) and my mother is capable of being one of the most mentally abusive women I’ve ever met. As a Mennonite, I view “honouring my parents” as being a good person, being how I know they want me to be and not what they were like. I don’t view the commandment as me having to put up or accept their abuse or sin but rather to be a woman that is kind, giving and loving. That is the way to honour them and their souls. If I continued the cycle of abuse that would be dishonourable not only to myself but also for them. Despite my very abusive childhood I persevered. Without my parents I wouldn’t be on this earth and even though there’s many aspects of my upbringing I don’t agree with I’m not going to let that get in the way of myself or my spiritual guidance.
@Babylauncher3000 Honoring your parents has Zero to do with your parents. It's has Everything to do with You . All the Commandments have to do with your own behavior. Not someone else's.

I used to think russell brand was fucking crazy but that's solid introspection.
That is exactly what the 10 'Commandments' is written for. People naturally face each commandment in their life. They are written to provide the best outcome in its scenario for 90% of those scenarios. Providing the best life for all involved.
No written word covers all scenario's. Unless you are a dictator. Russell is spot on.
The actual quote kids is "If you stand for nothing you'll fall for everything"
*fall for anything
@@LesserMoffHootkins no cause "anything" could mean you MIGHT fall for a number things. Everything means all of the options you'll definitely fall for. It's a subtle difference but makes it proper
@@HFFCANADA
“Everything” is too much. Do you know how many things are included in EVERYTHING? Saying someone could fall for everything means he’d fall for white supremacy AND bLM, Islam AND Catholicism, Covid hysteria AND anti-vax, veganism AND the carnivore diet, and even things he’d never heard of. Are there people in Canada who do that?
@@LesserMoffHootkins That's the whole point of the analogy good sir, it means if you have no principles you basically have no morals and can either be tricked or willingly do immoral things.
@@HFFCANADA But doesnt everything include moral things too? I had always heard it was anything, because the vastness of everything is both all the good and all the bad. Where anything can be something you are told, or even believe is good but is in fact bad.
Brand is a really smart guy. Hes being very generous here.
So, what Russell is saying is: “The words on the page can be delightfully interpreted any way that you want them to be.” The dog bit Johnny means “ice cream tastes better on Wednesday mornings.”
He’s so well articulated and smart

How convenient. I have a copy of a Bible printed 1962. A king james edition. The commandment listed there is shall not kill. Being raised catholic in the 60's it was shall not kill. Even at the height of the Vietnam War. How convenient to " translate" to murder.

😂 Russell is just an idiot with a platform
and god is a myth
@@Your.mama.1 that's such a dumb thing to say. You can't prove god isn't real any more than others can prove that he is real. Funny how atheists are unironically more religious than most religious people 😂
Interestingly enough, in Hebrew they aren't called commandments. The translation is closer to 'words'. Also,'kill' translates as 'murder' and 'steal' is closer to 'kidnap' - apparently depriving someone of their bodily autonomy is far more heinous than property crimes.
I have heard that comment about "kill" could be translated as "murder." Which was always interesting to me because it would arguably allow for killing in defense, maybe being a soldier, or a state execution. You could think all those are wrong, too, but hard to call them "murder." But then that just helps people justify their actions.
@joeconcepts5552 makes more sense than God saying "thou shalt not kill" then sending his people to commit genocide against the canaanites.
Oh. Wait....
This is completely true, and they're also not written in the imperative. They're written as present-tense statements, so it's much more similar to what Russell is doing here.

Bill was also a frequent visitor to Epstien island We know what his God is Impressed with Russell and his transformation 👏
I believe it's to not murder.... vs not kill
Ya, we're still allowed self defense and to protect our families and stuff. Bad translation. Same as "meek shall inherit the Earth", the word for "meek" meant a person that could hurt people but chose not to, not a weak person. Like the idea of "be wise as a serpent but peaceful as a dove".
Correct. It’s not murder-
There is a time to kill (as mentioned in Ecclesiastes)
Video might as well be titled “Two people who know nothing of the 10 commandments masquerading as experts on the 10 commandments”
The point of not turning to other gods was avoiding idols. It wasn’t about _”finding your own version of God in love, America, nature”._ It was about knowing the one true God Yahweh and having him alone as the one you worship.
Which is what Maher said. Just Yahweh being jealous.
@@AlexanderShamov well kinda. Maher means “jealously” in a trivial way, suggesting God is irrationally angry, which is not true. The word “jealousy” translated from the original Hebrew was communicating an everlasting partnership.
The context of the Torah involves the Israelites promising on oath to God that they would commit themselves fully to him alone. That’s why the Torah will often use expressions like _“You’ve prostituted yourself to other idols”_ to communicate idolatry within the land. The idea is that the Israelites broke their vow of marriage in their loyalty oath to God alone.
So just as a faithful husband would call out an adulterous wife, God calls out his people that turn to other lovers (idols). It’s not that he’s irrationally angry in jealousy, but that he holds his people accountable for their oath
Bill maher seems to understand that.
Amen to that!
The last commadments are ethics and morality. The first are acknowledgment of the source of ethics and morality. If you do not have respect for the source, you will not have respect for the commandments. Simple
It’s like Bob Dylan sang:
You’re gonna have to SERVE somebody
Brilliantly said Russell
10 commandments = 10 ways to love others and love your creator.
Russell Brand beautifully explains the ten commandments by breaking every single one.
The 10 Commandments have EVERYTHING to do with morality and ethics.
Dude Russell Brand is an amazing individual!!!!
I couldn't stand him while he was in Hollywood. He has one of the best stories of growth I can think of.
Nah he's a douche
He's nothing without G-D, his creator, to whom he apparently pays no heed.
@adamjohns350 In April of 2023 he voiced that he needs God in his life. For some like myself, the journey to a relationship with the Lord is long and painful, with many mistakes.
Bill Maher has the intellectual understanding of a 3rd grader when it comes to religion. He's very unsophisticated on the subject.
Very true. But he's not alone in that fault.
He's an atheist at best. He doesn't get that atheism is kind of a religion too.
Which is ironic because third graders still believe in imaginary friends like religious people do
@@zregory You have 5 very limited senses, you don't know shit about the Universe. Can you see UV light? Gamma rays? Can you hear LF waves?
I teach 2nd and 3rd grade religion. Those kids know and understand more about God and Christianity than Mr Maher has ever learned in his entire life. Those kids are enlightened, they understand that God loves them, and gives them commandments because He is their father, and a loving Father gives His children rules that will help them to be good people now and in the future.
More dangerous than stupidity is arrogance.
Even more dangerous than arrogance is a festering poison of both.
The light of truth common sense and righteousness shall prevail.
Christopher Hitchens would dismantle his whole argument
Jesus summed the 10 into 2. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul. And LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF
Why not capitalize the first commandment and lowercase the second?
@@joeradler maybe because most people remember to love God, and crap all over people
@@cleanserene6330 you can't crap on people if you actually love God. Loving God comes first... and honestly, He deserves love whereas some people are only lovable by grace.

@@easterlake Jesus tells us to love/pray for our enemies SO THAT HE DOESNT HAVE TO LIGHT THEM ON FIRE FOR ETERNITY. Trust me - if anyone is punished eternally in Hell its because they hate Jesus so much they refuse to be in Heaven with Him.

This guy surprises me. Positively.
This is on point. If you're directionless, you will grasp whatever feels good.
If your scared then you reach for the imaginary friend who will help you.
I am not religious at all, but the translation to the word "commandments" is not correct. The word in hebrew "10 dibrot" translates to the "10 sayings"...
So they’re suggestions?
😂
No shit wait wow
Very wise words
The notions are thousands of years old, but yes.
This opened my eyes a little . Grew up Christian lost my faith along the way . I think I just needed this perspective it oddly makes sense
Russell Brand beautifully gets the entire point of “Have not other Gods Before Me” completely wrong.
How far has the world gone in the wrong direction when Russel Brand is just banging out solid points?
Why should I follow the Bible when you have to tell me what God was really trying to say in it all the time?
Is it gospel truth or not?
@@zregory It's ok mate I don't believe in that nonsense either but I can still appreciate what he's saying.
The question should be. When did Russel Brand become so enlightened?
Its what happens when you reach and realize human limits and "experience" those limits. You come to the edge and find nothing is beyond it but.... "evil" for lack of a better word, or nothing good. Actually nothing to be exact but empty promises that led you there. Its the classic Icarus story.
Once you get that high or reach the end, fall or not, you start questioning and looking for more than wonton lust and appealing only to your base animal instincts. You start questioning your own fundamental beliefs.
Taking every word literally and applying the modern definition to each will make you blind to the overall texts of the bible or whatnot. Its more about the story, analogy, or general that's meant.
He's basically repeating the age old saying of.. "He who stands for nothing stands for everything" old ideas but people somehow don't want to accept them.
*He who stands for nothing falls for anything
There’s no such thing as a new idea, my friend. Especially in a religious context.

I thought it was He who stands for everything stands for nothing.
@@dsavereideif you STAND for nothing, you FALL for everything.
We need our own moral code
@@dsavereide It is a quote from Alexander Hamilton. Look it up sometime, 1/2 of the movies made in hollywood have this theme in it.
You truly have found God Mr Brand😊🙏 God is with you 🙏
MY BOY RUSSELL HAS AN AMAZING SENSE OF ANALYTICAL COMPREHENSION…I MEAN AMAZING! A MAN RIVALED BY FEW🫵🏻😎🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
brands speech on maher about media and politics was epic
Perfect explanation. Russell is a beautiful man
It's not an explanation, but an interpretation. It's a nice one, but strays far from how religious people see it. "Lust" e.g. is one of the Seven Deadly Sins in Christianity.
The idea Russel proposes reminds me more of the Oracle of Delphi's "gnothi seauton".
Interesting take but I don't think that is correct. I don't think God meant "your own god," He meant God, meaning no false gods such as love or nature or America. I think those fall under "anything can be a god."
I love your part of this interview where you get so fired up about corruption
Wait. Brand is saying “Unless you find your god, which could be anything, then anything could be your god.”
Man, I love Russell!
Right on Russell. Your the man of Truth.
Fun fact. The Hebrew ‘commandment’ is also used as ‘word’ or ‘message’
"Commandments" is a deliberate translation.
Thats actually a really profound way to put it
