NEW: Joe Rogan says he enjoys attending church, Jesus Christ is the best example for humanity
“Christianity in particular is the most fascinating to me, because there’s this one person that everybody agrees existed, that somehow or another had the best plan for how human beings should interact with each other.”
Joe Rogan spoke about the importance in his life of attending church. After previously saying that he had begun to go to church, he's now said that it's a ritual that he enjoys. He's also said that Jesus Christ is the best example of humanity.
Rogan's guest said he loved going to church, and Rogan said, "I do too. It's a bunch of people that are going to try to make their lives better. They're trying to be a better person, and they're trying to, I mean, for me, at least, the place that I go to they, they read and analyze passages in the Bible."
"I'm really interested in what these people were trying to say, because I don't think it's nothing. There's a lot of like atheists and secular people that just like to dismiss Christianity as being foolish, you know, it's fairy tales. I hear that amongst you know, self-proclaimed, intelligent people, like, it's, it's a fairy tale, I'm like, I don't know if that's true, I think, I think there's more to it.
"I think it's history, but I think it's a confusing history. It's a confusing history because it was a long time ago, and it's people telling things in an oral tradition and writing things down in a language that you don't understand, in the context of a culture that you don't understand. And I think there's something to what they're saying. I don't think it's nothing.
"I think there's something to it, and there's a reason why it resonates with people. And Christianity in particular is the most fascinating to me, because there's this one person that everybody agrees existed, that somehow or another had the best plan for how human beings should interact with each other and behave, and was the best example of it, and even died in a non-violent like, didn't even protest, died on the cross, supposedly for our sins.
"Like, it's a fascinating story. What does it represent though, that's the real thing. What was that, like what happened? Who was Jesus Christ if it was a human being, what was that?"
