    I think he’s a piece of shit rapist who’s trying to do the “I’m a Christian” defense, just like that pedophile Milo Yiannopolous did.

    Good luck with that, you rapist fuck.

      hmmm, first take and you fell for Ad Hominem fallacy, I’m asking about his reasoning, even if he was the worst human-being to walk earth, he might have a solid reasoning, so you added nothing to the conversation, did you even watch the video ?

      Edit : reasoning =/= agenda

        I told you his reasoning. His reasoning is that if he pretends to be a Christian, people will forget that he’s a rapist and his career will be saved.

        No they explained what they think his reasoning is.

        They think he’s doing it to use Christianity as a defense against his rape accusations. Regardless of what the video says.

        Also fallacy fallacy there from you.

    Its in the same realm as everyone else who wants to be baptized…they have some ‘awakening’ and find some type of ritual to revel in it, pull things together to intensify the reveling and justification of their ‘awakening’ and those things are false comparisons(his comparision of religious violence and ‘secular violence’), complaints about the modern world, past mistakes. Also since he is an addict he’s switching to another addiction. Not sure what more I can say?

    I also find it to be incredibly narcssicistic. It is a self-proclamation from a new convert to make a video about converting 24 hours after his conversion…it means nothing to me in any way shape or form, especially from someone who has a large platform.

    I’m not sure if I’m supposed to have anything beyond that about some stranger who has no relevance in my life. I was once a Christian for over a decade so the over all topic I have strong opinions towards but that video was nothing different from what I experienced in the modern church decades ago now. The only difference is irrelevant details, character names and the timeline. Replace Russell Brand with John Doe and you can copy and paste my response.
