How many times will Christians fall for the, ultra-Christian because I did something fucked up farce? I feel like it happens every time.

The God Grift is strong, particularly paired with a rightward slide

It's not as if I pay a lot of attention to this particular metric but it's hard to remember any one single celebrity in history having a more dramatic shift over the years than Brand. I vaguely remember one of his stand-up specials from early to mid-aughts being HEAVILY communist and, if memory serves, heavily atheist.

We all know it's been a big shift, but it would be interesting to see someone clip together bits of his from 2005 ish and now to see the contrast. What a strange man.

I haven’t heard anything about this dude since I first heard of him like damn near 10 years ago I don’t even remember lol but if you woulda asked me 5 minutes ago I’d have said he was a hardcore liberal, communist, atheist type dude
