There is seriously nothing more awesome than two great comedians debating religion. One is an atheist, and one is a Christian.
Jamie Kilstein said he became atheist when he met his wife and began to see that natural wonders could have been created by nature rather than a supreme being.
John Fuselsang is a Christian. His mother was an “ex-nun” and his dad was a Franciscan brother.
Fugelsang says that he’s come to see Jesus as he sees Elvis:
“I love the guy, but a lot of the fan clubs really freak me out.”
He points out what most Christian Lefters feel — the biggest religious mistake comes from confusing God and religion and thinking they’re the same thing.
Kilstein explains why he thinks religion can be a bad thing.
“A lot of people will use religion to solidify their agenda. You look at the most prominent homophobia, sexism…”
I definitely agree. His specific example was Michele Bachmann…
These two guys agree on one thing for sure: the Christian Right is whack. Maybe the best part is when Fugelsang gives a hilarious shout-out to Kirk Cameron.
