I say this as an atheist, it really is beautiful when people who have faith talk about it without even the slightest bit of judgment or hate for other people. Particularly with Christianity that's something you don't see very often, just the sheer humanism of it. I may not believe but I will never turn down the chance to understand the lens through which other people view the world, because it is kind and fascinating.
Fellow atheist here. I love the way he describes his belief. And yeah, I'll absolutely respect anyone who can talk about their "spirituality" or whatever they call it without bringing judgment into it. It seems a lot of people seek religion as an answer to something that they see as a problem in the world. By definition, that's a judgmental reason for being religious. I think you'll agree with me in saying that if there is any true spiritual somethings flowing in this world, it's love. Feeling and expressing love is the most magical thing we have here.
I love it. They’re all just attempts to grasp the same thing from different perspectives. Ideas like a “big man in the sky” are metaphors, images used to try and understand what cannot be understood. It’s well known that JC was someone who had a colossal mystical experience and learned an understanding of the universe not too different than that of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha). So although the religion around JC calls him “the son of God”, he, historically, referred to himself as “a” son of God. Meaning of the nature of God. God being the universe itself. They’re all the same. If anyone believes only one as being legitimate, then that’s an indicator that the person has a narrow lens with which they view the world. People go to extremes with their beliefs and those extremes shouldn’t be confused with the spiritual backbone of it all. Atheism is in itself spiritual. Actually, atheism is just Buddhism from another perspective. Many people who consider themselves atheists will believe in “science”… and that’s actually just another version of the same thing. A different lens to describe and understand ourselves and the universe.
True Christians judge righteously. It isn’t evil. Stop hating on me! I’m A total stranger! You don’t know any real Christians, clearly man. An it’s sad.
@@BrettWB His podcast is very pleasant, it’s called You made it weird. If you like that, Duncan Trussel’s family hour podcast is also a really good one that gets into all the things
That definition of the name Lela made me smile :-) My grandmother was named Lela. She passed about 35 years ago and was one of the most loving and accepting people I've ever met. Hope you're having fun dancing through Heaven Gram. :-D
the comment "human beings only change when there is disruption" hit me. the guy has gone through a lot in his life and instead of getting drunk and being angry about it all he turned inside himself and started asking questions. sounds like he found some really great answers.
I adore Pete Holmes. On his podcast he suggested a great book that I read (and enjoyed). I'd be more than happy to just watch these two people (Stephen and Pete) chat for hours.
In the first segment he gives a masterclass in comedy and in this one he floors us with spiritual insight. Why Pete Holmes's talent is being wasted on some middle-of-the-road sitcom on CBS is beyond me.
I don't think it's wasted. It's bringing it to the masses in a bite size and digestible way. I actually admire that. I sometimes have a hard time finding the right words to communicate my thoughts about existentialism and Buddhism... so I'm impressed he's trying at least. Ram Dass did that too
I hope you can check out some of his youtube videos -- sooo funny! Just look up his name on youtube. For example, he does a series as batman, and his acting a Sherlock Holmes is so good, and he does so many other famous characters in his sketches. Highly recommended.
Hitchhiking across the US in 2014 I found a 16lb purple bowling ball on the side of a highway in southern Idaho and I bowled it for miles. It would roll straight down the center for about 50 yards before eventually finding the gutter. I didn't see a car for hours.
I'm an atheist and a Pete Holmes fan. I admire his willingness to talk about spirituality in his comedy and podcast. I get a lot out of his thoughtful perspectives. And I think he's damn funny.
I appreciate that you can like someone who has different views than you. I'm trying to do this too. Lifes too short to be angry and judgemental all the time, and it makes me sad lol
I am also an atheist and have never heard of Pete until now. I immediately like him from this interview and I love his takes on spirituality. I will check him out.
He is a wizard for bringing an alan watts perspective and sharing it thru his chats and his book but especially his finding a way to swing it through his comedy. He’s got a million non-spiritual jokes. But in one of his recent soecials he delicately but expertly wields some spiritual ideas with precision for the angle and great laughs. Thats tap dancing on philosophical lasers and he is one of very few to attempt and yet he nails it.
@@ericminch 🤣👍 spot on! So I'm not the only one who has noticed those too. Lol I have gotten a pretty good annoying Fallon impression down though because of it
That IS beautiful - love it, I found a new comedian! I have seen him but had no idea that his philosophy was so cool. Read Richard Rohr and Rob Bell, and who both have a great sense of humor....and will find Pete now too!

Pete Holmes used to have a late night show after Conan on TBS. Conan would be on at like 11pm-12am and Pete Holmes was on 12am-1am. His jokes were more for mature audiences. Conan's jokes were kind of all around and with the family. Didn't last very long but I love his content now! :D

We used to get the Dave Allen Show in America when I was a kid. One skit I never forgot was you see a woman's high heels walking down a lonely, foggy street at night. Then it cuts to the face of a Mr. Hyde type monster seemingly following her down the same street. Occasionally the high heels stop as if she's worried, and whenever this happens the monster also stops and hides in the shadows. Finally the camera pulls out and you see that it's the monster who's wearing the high heels. It's probably been 40 years since I saw that and for some reason it's always stayed with me...
I'm not religious, but consider a lot of the things I've heard over the years: If, indeed, the Universe was created and is being maintained by a being with no limits, that would make that being more vast than the Universe. Compared to the Universe, the Earth is millions of times smaller than a speck of dust. That would make the being in question unable to take _any_ offense to anything _any_ of the microbes inhabiting this speck of dust do except by the _most_ extraordinary act of _pettiness._ If, indeed, the being in question has no limits, don't we _impose_ limits on that being and engage in a bit of arrogance by presuming to describe It/Him/Her/Them in terms of _gender?_ If, indeed, the being in question has no limits, don't we _likewise_ impose limits and engage in a bit of arrogance by presuming to describe It/Him/Her/Them with _number?_ Don't we go way beyond our understanding by presuming that there's only _one_ such being? Maybe there's _two._ Maybe there's a _dozen._ Maybe there's a _hundred._ Maybe there are _thousands._ You can't prove that there _aren't._ 🤷 If there are no limits to the being in question, that would mean that there are no limits to what He/She/It/They have _considered._ Now what's the purpose of prayer? It's to persuade the being in question to make things happen that otherwise _wouldn't._ Well what's the purpose of the Divine _Plan?_ To dictate _destiny;_ destiny, without regard to _prayer._ That's a pretty dismal plan if every schmuck with a 2-dollar _prayer_ book can come along and screw it _up._ No, if the being in question _has_ such a plan, He/She/It/They are gonna follow it _anyway,_ _without_ regard to what you _pray_ for. Why would you pray, except under the impression that there are considerations _you_ have made that the being in question _hasn't?_ Clearly, it's not possible to trust both the power of _prayer_ and the judgement of the Divine Being, so which way do you _go?_

I'm not religious, but consider a lot of the things I've heard over the years:
If, indeed, the Universe was created and is being maintained by a being with no limits, that would make that being more vast than the Universe. Compared to the Universe, the Earth is millions of times smaller than a speck of dust. That would make the being in question unable to take _any_ offense to anything _any_ of the microbes inhabiting this speck of dust do except by the _most_ extraordinary act of _pettiness._
If, indeed, the being in question has no limits, don't we _impose_ limits on that being and engage in a bit of arrogance by presuming to describe It/Him/Her/Them in terms of _gender?_
If, indeed, the being in question has no limits, don't we _likewise_ impose limits and engage in a bit of arrogance by presuming to describe It/Him/Her/Them with _number?_ Don't we go way beyond our understanding by presuming that there's only _one_ such being? Maybe there's _two._ Maybe there's a _dozen._ Maybe there's a _hundred._ Maybe there are _thousands._ You can't prove that there _aren't._ 🤷
If there are no limits to the being in question, that would mean that there are no limits to what He/She/It/They have _considered._ Now what's the purpose of prayer? It's to persuade the being in question to make things happen that otherwise _wouldn't._ Well what's the purpose of the Divine _Plan?_ To dictate _destiny;_ destiny, without regard to _prayer._ That's a pretty dismal plan if every schmuck with a 2-dollar _prayer_ book can come along and screw it _up._ No, if the being in question _has_ such a plan, He/She/It/They are gonna follow it _anyway,_ _without_ regard to what you _pray_ for. Why would you pray, except under the impression that there are considerations _you_ have made that the being in question _hasn't?_
Clearly, it's not possible to trust both the power of _prayer_ and the judgement of the Divine Being, so which way do you _go?_
Wow! I'll have to get back to you on that question. You threw a lot out there.
