      ...'Christians' are the only reason Jews have not been genocided... 'Christians' are the only reason Israel exists today... yet too many Jews have compulsive instincts to talk smack about Christianity and Christians. Yet. If the shoe was on the other foot, you, a Jew, would scream anti-semitism from the highest rooftops... and you wonder where does the anti-semitism today, came/comes from?...
      I, myself, have always supported the existence of Israel, mostly because I would rather Jews to be in control of MY Holy Land than Muslims.
      Yet, too often, when too many Jews open their disrespectful mouths, I question myself, ...why?

      He had a promising film career until suddenly he didn't. Once the movie roles dried up he needed to make money. Can't make money being on the left, but the right is full of big donors and multi-million dollar contracts so he changed everything about himself and went to the right with his hand out.

      Brand is obviously a narcissistic, amoral opportunist with no morals or ethics to speak of. He's just doing whatever he thinks will bring him personally the most success for the least amount of effort. So thus, appealing to the most religiously extreme, they tend to fall for people who claim they're being persecuted. I mean, it worked for the orange pumpkin man... Ugh!

People come to Jesus all the time, but during times of trouble they are more likely to find aid in a higher power. It's not a ploy. It's consciousness. And if he is guilty, it only makes sense for him to repent and find forgiveness by coming to and celebrating a forgiving Father.

    I can almost promise he’s not being baptized Catholic. He would not be being baptized in the Thames and he doesn’t sound like he has been catechized (taught). He wouldn’t refer to being an “enlightened being.”

      Yeah. He’s been doing all sorts of Catholic stuff, like the rosary beads, and Hail Mary prayers. But the way he was talking there, that definitely doesn’t sound Catholic. That sounds like some born again Protestant thing. Probably the best thing to go for to be a MAGA-sphere grifter tbh.

      Drugs. He struggled with drugs for years. Now ostensibly sober, he had to find another addiction. That's the way it works. Perhaps he did the 12 step program, and really took to the "higher power" idea. An addictive personality needs an addiction. He sounds mesmerized, which is a big giveaway.

      Then he hit 40. Divorce. The promiscuous young stud act had to go. His realised the only way to have anything like the money and loyal following he had before was to go down this path.

    Is he grifting himself into Catholicism or some other sect of Christianity?

    I remember noticing that Russell Brand "rebranded" himself and seemed to be playing into the hot conspiracies of the time and it got him a lot of views. I think it was the Q-Anon thing. All of a sudden it seemed like he was pushing all of the conspiracy buttons to get views. Anything to make a buck.

    As a 'cradle Catholic' I am disgusted at people like him. I grew into atheism in my 20s 50 odd years ago but still hate seeing Christianity being abused by these grifters. And for Brand's information he might think he looks like the standard western Jesus but Josuah, to give him his proper Jewish name, likely looked nothing like the western european version wuth which he is familiar. The late Magnus Magnuson did a documentary years ago and said the Roman wanted poster described him as short, stooped and very dark skinned. So he must have had a charismatic personality to inspire people to believe he was the messiah who would overthrow the Romans. Of course it turned out that, like so many others who made the claim, he wasnt the Jewish messiah but his name was latinised and used to create a relugion which would persecute his people ever after.

    As a gay man who is no longer a Christian but who has a biblical studies degree... WTF!?
    Like... on so many levels. Granted, I'm Canadian, so generally by the time a lot of the weirdest elements got up North, I don't know if they broke down in the cold or what, but the church I grew up in and the Christians I knew in my formative years in the 90s, they were reasonably sane people with some beliefs that with more life experience kinda fall apart if you think about them too much. But like... they didn't crave being pandered to. Like, sure there was Christian Rock, but at least early on a lot of that came ouf of the Jesus people USA movement which were like a bunch of pot heads and stoners. Even if a lot of these bands were just youth group friends who were trying to have the same sort of sound as a lot of secular bands, there was still a certain level of authenticity to it.
    But it feels like now Evangelicalism and Catholicism in the US in particular seem like they've moved into this post-authentic "If we can't have the world, no one can!" Grift like attitude.
    You know, honestly even when I was growing up I guess there was probably more grifting going on than I realized. But there were a lot of people with deeply held sincere belief.
    I think blaming Trump for it isn't fair because so much of the seeding of this libertarian-selfish asshole verion of Christianity was sown long ago. But... man, it feels like post 2016, Evangelicals and Catholics have just become the biggest assholes. It's like their whole lives now are as honest as a Kirk Cameron video. Like it's just "This is what we do now, and we refuse to think about why we do what we do, because if we take a second to think... we're gonna feel so fuckin' dirty."
    It's a shame too. Because when Christianity isn't this politicized shit show, there's a lot to like in it's teachings. But at this point I feel like the modern Evangelical and Catholic churches are the biggest proof against the existence of God. Like these people all believe that they've prayed and asked God to forgive their sins and cleanse them... then why can't we see that? Why can't we see a movement of Christians being more honest? Standing up against things like wealth inequality, the murdering of civilians? There is no God redeeming the church, because the church just keeps getting worse.

God's plan was for me to come to earth Serve others, give money to the church, spread the gospel and then spend my time praying, reading Bible versus and accept Jesus as my savior who died for me even though I didn't as him too, then feel guilted into all the aforementioned conditions so I can go to heaven? What a crappy plan. Needless to say they didn't talk theology with me any more
