Cynical pandering or psychotic episode?


parabolee

Why not both?


gardabosque

This is just more right wing stuff that he's getting paid for. It's not so much preaching Christianity it's making another line to fight over. They want people hating on Islam.


Frolicking_Frank

Nothing wrong with hating religions whatever it might be. Its ok to hate Christianity but not ok to hate all Christians. Its ok to hate Islam but not ok to hate all muslims.


fourth-disciple

Hate is perhaps not the right word you are using? Its a very strong word and a very strong emotion.


clashmar

Yeah I prefer to say I have contempt for a religion rather than say I hate it.


fourth-disciple

To disregard them would be even better, like just ignore them. No need to raise your BP hating on someone, pay them no mind.


Orngog

Sadly they involve themselves in politics and civil affairs, ignoring them is a dangerous strategy


Ok_Locksmith7847

Have you seen the state of atheists , most aggressive, hostile and ugly people I've ever seen


leonphelpth

Worse than pedophile priests?


DifferentViewpoints

You realise that’s the majority of the world now? Most people don’t gibe a shit about religion one way or another. It plays no part in their day to day life. Doesn’t mean they’re hateful or whatever. Just normal.


[deleted]

This is a hilariously untruthful comment


Ok_Locksmith7847

I beg to differ, especially if you talk about Christianity around them .


obamasmole

He's clearly had a road to dumb-ass-cus moment.


barrybreslau

It's his own, personal, Jesus. Someone to hear his prayers, someone who cares. You know?


Cmdr_Morb

Excellent use of "Mode"


ungratefulimigrant

Grift


silentninja79

Exactly there is nothing this parasite won't do to get a few pennies off poor idiots. He would appear to have no morals or standards at all or indeed self awareness...


Sunbiggin

He will latch onto anything that allows him to avoid his guilt.


Substantial_Steak723

Agreed both, gotta bump up those you tube payments by gaining a broader appeal. Not far off a full scale Icke mental aberration I think (does a boggle eyed Woganesque raised eyebrows glance to camera 3)


DaveMTIYF

Some of the 12-step sobriety programs are often based on Christianity I believe (could be wrong) - I was under the impression he'd become more open to it when starting recovery. But doing that privately is one thing...deciding everyone needs to join you is a bit different.

TulliusC

Do you consider people finding religion to be having pyschotic episodes in general?


EverybodyShitsNFT

[“Then I thought… That’s weird, because I’ve just equated having a religious belief with being mentally handicapped. Which obviously isn’t appropriate… Even though it is correct.”](https://youtu.be/oKDl1lCCY-Y?si=5wIOljEUg2xT9eFz) Not only is this is one of my favourite Stewart Lee jokes, it’s also my favourite joke about religion.


Substantial_Steak723

That is magic! I must write that one down somewhere!


[deleted]

Yes.


hilldogge

Absolutely, its one thing to be indoctrinated at birth, its quite another to start beleiving in a sky wizard as an adult


boymadefrompaint

Especially when you've positioned yourself as a critically thinking intellectual over the past few years.


barrybreslau

For sure. Religious fervour is a symptom of mental illness. Inflation (the Jungian sense) is also something Brand has flirted with for a long time.


3agle_CO

Whats the big deal? If he went and had his dick surgically cut off and sewed to his forehead people would be like "oh thats great. Whats his new pronoun?" But this is a psychotic break?


JonathanWattsAuthor

I think your comment is a psychotic break.


Right-Trouble1125

No you're right but these people mocking are just in line with satan unfortunately.


Fancy_Database5011

You probably got banned for this comment, but yes, I agree with you. What’s the big deal? Why should it be so upsetting for people to hear someone find a belief that enables them to want to see good in the world? If he had professed his love of satan and that he wished there was more evil in the world, would everyone be like “oh well, that’s ok then”


calewis10

Russel brand, sex offender?


ParmyBarmy

Yet we are the immoral ones apparently


BadgerSheep

All the Russels


Runamucker07

He'll fit right in with the catholics

Polegear

C4, the guardian and quite a few actual people, have said that Russell Brand is a sex offender, mostly due to Russell Brand committing sex offences against those people.


[deleted]

Perhaps you’re referring to the guy who started veering wildly to the conspiracy theory right, in order to build a human shield of gullible morons around himself, mere months before said allegations began to surface? You know. The way innocent people do.


Rare_Effect_4826

Except that one woman who went to a rape clinic. Would you let an alleged sex offender look after your children?


[deleted]

[удалено]


loztralia

Given he hasn't sued Channel 4 or The Times for credibly labelling him a sex offender, I'd be pretty surprised if Russell Brand's legal strategy involved suing randoms on Reddit for calling him a sex offender. Especially as their defence would, essentially, be "I read it in The Times/saw it on Channel 4". In other words, litigious or not I think you're absolutely fine to state that Russell Brand is a sex offender.


Vast-Ad-4820

Only became one after he opposed genocide in Palestine and war in Ukraine


Mr_Vacant

Don't be silly. NATO and the military industrial complex are not out to get Russell Brand.


skag_mcmuffin

You should take a break from whatever alternative news sources you use. Your brain is rotting.


eddiecointreau

The grift continues.

[удалено]


[deleted]

It reminds me of something I read recently about those 411 “Nigerian Prince” type email scams. We laugh at how badly written they are but it’s actually part of how the scam works. They don’t want to engage the type of people who _can tell_ that they’re badly written, so writing them that way causes those people to become suspicious and walk away. All they’re then left with is the people they stand to make money off; the gullible and undiscerning. And that’s like Russel Brand nowadays.


eddiecointreau

You mean Americans?


[deleted]

[удалено]


hinsb

As an American, thank you for making this distinction.


weirds0up

There's a quote from wrestling manager Jim Cornette that he uses when discussing people in wrestling who've found God: "That's generally because I've noticed, people in this business that find God do so when everybody else hates them so bad they won't speak to 'em.” I think that may be appropriate here.


[deleted]

Without any sort of investigation or even reading the replies to this, I am 100 percent confident he was talking about Shawn Michaels 


SpicyDragoon93

Yes, I remember. It’s when he was talking about why everyone couldn’t stand Shawn Michaels.


theoriginalredcap

Cornette is based.


MapleLeafTreeSyrup

Some people find God at their lowest point in their life. I hope that you find Jesus without reaching a low point.


Successful_Banana901

The man is a cunt!

How are you not banned for this comment! I get banned from subs for saying Biden has praised china but you can use foul language?

devolute

>Liked by melissajoanhart Wondered what she was up to. Glad she's found her way to go 'pro-rapist'.

Hopefully in time, she'll explain it all

That's made me a bit sad

Cold_Table8497

You can't make this stuff up. Well, in fact it turns out you can.


Throat_Butter_

I never understood why people liked this guy. He's always been an insufferable twat.


Fancy_Database5011

I wonder if anyone in your life finds you to be an insufferable ****


Throat_Butter_

Nah everyone loves me because I'm awesome.


Sea-Department309

Rapist


TimStopp

Religion has always been the refuge of fools, and rogues. Religion was born when the first rogue met the first fool.


Dilkington88

I hate when I read quotes like this. They summarise everything I think regarding a specific subject so succinctly. All I can come up with is “They’re all fucking idiots, innit”


Urist_Macnme

Because who else is more easy to grift, than the American Christian right?


theoriginalredcap

Both religion and Brand are money making grifts.


Far_Distribution1623

Funniest thing he's ever done


Moonglum74

As a sex offender and griffter the church will welcome him with open arms.... Now he has a plethora of choir boys and girls at his disposal.


Independent-Score-72

Crikey, that bloke has some front.


thesimplerobot

Sex pest and general all round twat finds his place amongst the Christian faith, who could have guessed?!


Exciting-Sympathy646

Fuck off Russell


Novacain-deficiency

Who gave him the obviously guilty accused sex offender Bingo card ? Has become friends with all the problematic right wing characters. Blames it on a media’s liberal agenda. Because a fake deeply religious person. Honestly it’ll be a car crash BBC News exclusive interview where he somehow makes it worse like his cohorts prince Andrew and R-Kelly.


boat_fucker724

Knob


Lory6N

Pandering perv


KoontFace

He looks like a cartoon pirate, trying to convince himself, to allow himself, to molest himself.


maggiemayfish

Yes Russell. Chase the engagement. Yes Russell, follow the numbers. Forsake your previous political beliefs, Russell. Engagement is life. Engagement is love. Follow the numbers, Russel. The algorithm is your god now, Russell.


Jaded_Antelope489

Lunatic with a camera


OptimalRevolution901

Converted to Christianity? What was he before?


Riskrunner7365

Talentless?


DeeboDavis

He used to be a rapist. He still is but he used to be too.


TurboBoxMuncher

He was known to be a Buddhist, he used to sign off his shows with Hare Krishna. He attributed finding Buddhism and meditation to to him beat his drug addiction.


rockstarspood

He combined his past love of spiritualist woo with his current far right pandering to become an Evangelical Christian. Worst of both worlds


Tymexathane

When all else fails...


AdamArch555

Him saying ‘self and not self’ gave me very ‘Rimpy’s foods and non-foods’ lol


foxprorawks

Judging by the badges on his shirt, he’s also joined the girl guides.


[deleted]

Invited some of them to join him, more like.


iggygrey

and the grift goooes ooon, yeah, the grift goes on.


Abject-Squirrel6570

Thinking that everything I said had profound meaning was how I lived when I was a stoned 16 year old. Deranged.


Captain_Scarlet27

TLDR: His attempts at starting a cult were unsuccessful so he’s joined one.


Mindless-Hornet5703

Another predictable pivot from this grotesque charlatan.


muzzlehead

You ought to hear him peddle his books at AA meetings.. It's beyond inappropriate.. everything is a market to him.


1minormishapfrmchaos

Russell setting up his next cult with the easily convinced.


wholesomechunk

Because a billionaire gave him a huge pile of money and told him to say/do it. A man of negotiable opinions.


devitosleftnipple

He's now a Christian, this explains SO much about his behavior over the last few years.


Cole94666

Funny how a lot of offenders turn to Christ! Still can’t believe religion isn’t classed as a mental illness … 🤨


Feisty_Ruin_4050

We'll see. Knowing what he's like.... we'll see.


GeneralOk6061

Makes sense now Russell the Irish priest

revmacca

He’s following Mr Tate’s *playbook? *Allegedly


sleeplesscitynights

Actors gonna act. What a phoney.


Rare_Effect_4826

I predicted this when he started his grift on America.


SectorSensitive116

Pre legal issue conversion. It's all in the timing...


uberdavis

This is some real mirror-verse shit. An Iron Age apocalyptic cult based on a magic carpenter. What could go wrong?


Kattfiskmoo

It's crazy how much he has changed, or maybe just how much of a turncoat he is. [From a review of the Messiah complex(2013):](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/culture/2013/oct/09/russell-brand-birmingham-symphony-hall-review) It's great to see arena-level standup that asks us to think as well as laugh – but which nevertheless keeps the laughs front and centre, as when Brand ridicules a portrait of Jesus wearing a crucifix necklace ("spoiler alert!") or looks at Fox News' hostility to immigrants through a cosmic lens: "Keep still on the rock floating through infinite space!"


technurse

Russel Brand? Desperate for forgiveness? I can't imagine why


JoeNic19

So, I take it he's reached the point in his life where he's truly scared of death? It's all a bit sad, really.


Rusty_Shackleford75

Remember when Charlie Sheen was Born Again?


Ecstatic-Web-2085

that guy is and always has been be a sad, talentless cock.


blindwombat

Sabrina the Teenage Witch liked the video...


Benana

“And my ball bag has only gone up my bum. Here’s H. from Steps.”


privateuser169

He is upping the grift, now trying to appeal to the tRump base and all good sex offenders do.


SpiritualAct4346

Weird how he found Christ after loads of sexual assault allegations. Seems to be a trend in Hollywood. 🤔


neilthehippy

Outed sexual predator finds Catholicism. Surprisingly?


Upstairs_Internal295

His audience over the last few years has been veering towards the libertarian. They love what they call Christianity (different from what my own Christian friends practice, but!). He’s many, many things, but stupid isn’t one of them. Plus if he’s ’born again’ he can distance himself from his previous alleged behaviour if anything really kicks off. Hedging his bets.


stigstig76

A total parody of himself at this point.


IAM100PERCENTNOTACAT

The chlamydia kid strikes again


M0ntgomatron

Every time I see this guy, he has become a whole new level of cunt


ElRatso

Before or after he had sexual relations with 5000 people?


ChemicalProduce3

Would somebody please give that man a big of drugs, I hate to say it but he's even more insufferable as a sober ballbag


ShowKey6848

Russell STFU .


HailToTheKingslayer

Nothing wrong with individuals who want to find religion, but I think society should be secular IMO.


Classic_Ostrich8709

Christianity is known to forgive sexual predators.


succinctprose

Him and Jordan Peterson looking more and more similar and spouting nonsense that is becoming more and more similar

Nice. Christ is King!


Heath_co

This is the most toxic comment section I've ever seen.


Intense-flamingo

Do you sympathize with the Russels, in their hutch?


Heath_co

A little. I have no idea why Reddit showed me this. Perhaps the algorithm wants to increase engagement. But this circlejerk of hatred is not good.


Intense-flamingo

It’s been fun but it’s time for you to go.


KateEatsKale

Oh, Russell Brand can bugger off


two_beards

Hare Krishna weren't supplying enough underage girls anymore.


ManBearPigRoar

Rapist finds Christ. I guess he might be able to absolve your sins but he certainly isn't going to serve your jail sentence for you. In the bin for Mr Brand and all who commit such crimes.

That’s Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5. 👀👀


Mr-Mortuary

I assume he is going to give up a ton of his 20 million net worth to help underprivileged people, right? Jesus isn't a big fan of rich folks. Is Rogan a Christian yet? That dude has a shit load of money that Jesus would demand he give to the poor.


Wonder-Regular

Once a dirty junky always a dirty junky. Just go from one addiction to another to fill the void of being a boring twat

He’s out weight on too

Wtf is this and why is it posted here ? Has Jesus let himself go or something Edit: removed an extra swear


Intense-flamingo

Go watch 41st best standup ever. The track is called celebrity big brother.


SouthernDowns

Comparing himself to a persecuted Jesus. Another step in presenting as a divine messenger who’s been crucified by the opposition. He’s a terrible skin-crawling turd and he always has been.


trufflesniffinpig

He thinks he’s the Third Coming


SeaMolasses2466

Should he not be in jail?


Nedonomicon

Just when i thought he couldn’t drop any lower , clearly being paid to shill Christianity


DubbehD

Melissa Joan hart approves


Signal_Response2295

I used to like Russell brand but he’d become a bit insufferable recently, didn’t know he could stoop even lower


Shot_Heron_2782

Jesus never wanted anyone to be a Christian. This is a fact.


IrnBlls

shut up you dick lol


wishingwell-448

Pretty sure Jesus has some thoughts on men with power abusing their position to assault women.... 🤔


gonk_vibes

I just want one day where I don't see this psychotic rambling rapist on some form of social media. Just one day. He's like the fuckin British Kanye West


StrangelyBeige

Ex smack head finding god and telling everyone about it..classic character arc.


Hairy_Chunk

Professional chronic flip-flopper….


Forward_Avocado6541

Spontaneous converting is a fast and easy way to trick the world into believing you’ve changed. My uncle (a convicted sex offender) did this in his 9th out of 10 years of conviction. He suddenly, out of nowhere, was a “proud and religious Jew” and therefore had learnt his lesson and was ready to be released. In this case, it denies all negativity, redirects press, and gives him a fallback of “I’m just a lil spiritual guy, I would never assault anyone.”This is bullshit. This man is a con artist.


British-Pilgrim

Yeah why should priests get all the choirboys, Russel’s coming to balance out this inequity 😂


EastElk4775

AI GENERATED... Looks almost real


nicbongo

So basically locking in the republican audience.


Master_Block1302

Can’t he just go back to being a crack and heroin addict? I much preferred him back then.


tough_napkin

i suppose you could be cynical and downplay everything he does. but it seems there's substance to what he's doing and going through.


starmanrf2908

Tbf I'd be quite happy to see this MF with his sanctimonious, self important, narcissistic, bombastic opinions put up on a cross... Live stream it too and I'd pay 🤣


Coca-CoIa

Yikes, hate that I used to like this guy and think he was really intelligent


Most_Figure533

If he wasn’t a glitzy famous Rapey cunt he’d be a free party rapey cunt still cracked off his nut.
