Comedian Jamie Kilstein, Atheist – faces off with The God Squad, Kamau Bell & John Fugelsang. John interestingly was ‘born to believe.’ Kamau being black, ‘must’ believe, and Jamie once believed until his (now) wife Allison, agent of Satan, pushed him off of the straight and narrow.
Don’t let my flippant introduction sway you. While there are enough laughs to entertain those on both sides of the theological fence, the discussion is extremely relevant.
In this blog we often encounter confusion when we don’t separate God from select horrid little gits who claim to be his followers. John likens it to an Elvis fan club. It’s completely unfair to blame Elvis or Jesus for those who swear allegiance.
Another point I particularly like, and which they expand upon is that if Jesus were speaking in the U.S. today – you would be unable to hear him because of the din created by the shouts of “Socialist!” (and worse) by conservatives, who don’t buy for a minute that a liberal,brown-skinned Jew is their savior!
