British comedian Russell Brand, facing allegations of rape and sexual assault from multiple women, doubled down on his commitment to Christianity over the weekend.
This punk ass had me in the first half watching his YouTube for a bit. He's no different from the people he talked smack on. Sellout loser, i hope they throw the book at him.
the only surprising thing about predators fleeing to bornagain churches is how it only occurs to them after they're exposed like everyone knows the church will help predators, he could've done this decades ago
I was for some reason given tickets to see him talk around 2014, and he wouldn't shut the fuck up about god so honestly i thought he already was 'Christian'
i'm failing to parse this, are we agreeing? or debating if abusers don't come to churches before getting caught? they definitely do, it's just weird that someone like Brand could see the proverbial big flashing billboard advertising they're pro-abuse, while being an abuser, and not think to sign up
one thing i always liked about hitchens was he was a consistent prick and also wasnt a coward... when challenged on waterboarding he actually did it and was like, oh shit this is torture i was wrong and wrote that article
were he alive hed be clowning on these fools and his jerk-stain of a brother
Guess that when people with actual convictions figured out that he was just a venal prick they stopped being as nice to him. He has been trying so damn hard to be the cool radical who stands up to the man for his entire career, harder sell when the guy is older than the parents of the people he is trying to impress and lech on.
Not sure if this is the same as the Dawkins cultural Christian shtick (99% just Islamophobia), Brand seems like the kind of guy that would fall for the love bombing that churches give converts.
