Where did that come from, lol. 

I am not saying you are or aren't, I was just speaking hypothetically of what some other possibilities are.

Show me one Christian who isn't a buffoon.

Rupert Sheldrake, although he is also "more" than that.

Is he really a Christian?

He prays to Jesus? He worships a human?

The burning will set you free if you but allow it. I'm actually helping you by stepping on places where your ego is stuck. That's why you feel the heat. 

Please, don't.

He is a "practising Anglican", meaning he goes to church and that's probably about it. He emphasizes the communal aspect of religious practice.

In the last few years, Russell Brand has been moving more and more towards conspiracy theories and the political right, which has attracted a new conservative viewership.

I think he's aware of this and is pandering to this target audience by updating his persona from a new-age guru type to, I don't know, a more conservative type, with the cross necklace and the cowboy hat?

It seems pretty obvious what's going on here, much like what happened to JP Sears, also known as the 'Ultra Spiritual Guy'.

@Carl-Richard So he treats Christianity as a social club.

Fine, but there's nothing intelligent about that.

Russell Brand is the posterboy for audience capture.

A religious social club.

It's intelligent to not dismiss fundamental aspects of life as trivial :)

I see so many entrepreneurs coming out as Christians nowadays that it is just networking and niching at this point.

These acts don't mean much in my view.

Like changing shirts.

It is intelligent to recognize social survival as survival and not any sort of spiritual progress.

Agreed. Which is why I guide folks away from Christianity :)

Or... if your standards for intelligence are low, a buffoon will appear to you as intelligent.

Or I hold a much higher standard for intelligence than any human.

No, you are right.


I just wanted to say that I know extremely rational Christians, and that the Christian liturgy is still a relatively solid way to get closer to God, even if it seems too biased and therefore stupid for your level of consciousness for you to agree to play it.
I don't know if that makes sense.

Many people identified with the west turn Christian just before they die.

That's how powerful Christianity is.

It makes sense, but it makes even more sense to drop Christianity entirely, since it is a human invention and an obstruction of Consciousness.
