    Never watch this show but I was so pleasantly surprised by several elements: 1) Bill and Alan are much more knowledgeable about religion that I ever imagined-which I really enjoyed though I'm an Atheist 2) Alan's courage to discuss his mental health issues 3) Alan is much smarter and thoughtful than I would have stereotyped him to be. Really enjoyed this.

    • @MyCommonSenses
      @MyCommonSenses Před 2 měsíci

      Hello Bonfire.... I'm sorry to say, but Bill really is not knowledgable at all about religion, at all. You can clearly tell his knowledge is from internet memes, that serious atheists are honest and happy to debunk. Alan, equally, either did not want to, or couldn't correct Bill on some very disingenuous remarks about Jesus and Christianity.
      Bill uses his platform to regularly spread these religious internet fallacies because he's what called a lazy atheist. He tries to appeal to authority, to back up his claims, but I bet if he was confronted and asked to provide a credible source to back these, you'd see him quickly move onto another subject and say "I'm tired of these religious talks, let's talk about those cool sneakers, where'd you get those?"
      He's just another ill-informed atheist. You'll find plenty of them down your local sports bar, but the difference is, he has a platform watched by thousands of gullible people on the internet who buy into his nonsense.
      It's not like he is an expert at anything, or seen as a voice of reason. He is a comedian, he is only good at making fun of things. Bill feels the need to either make people laugh, or ridicule them for not having the same views and opinions as him. Quite sad really when you think about. His insecurities and feeling empty, isn't comforted in Christ or God's word, instead he covers it up with humor.

    Alan is sort of a role model to me in the sense that he's gorgeous, wealthy, talented, stylish, etc etc etc…But also a kind, funny, affable and entirely normal-seeming human being. Fascinating how on top of the world he was, yet it still wasn't enough to save him from his own darkness. Thank goodness he survived his suicide attempt. This is someone that truly deserves to be healthy and happy. One of my favorite episodes of Club Random

      I think Bill forgets what a "normal,average" salary is. He has multi millions and can probably stop working or at least I hope so. Not doing something right if he can't. My son, if he didn't live home for a few years and work and go to school, wouldn't have had any down payment. Not with rents so high. He works in a school but 40-50,000 a year is average and rent eats a lot of it. He doesn't drink or gamble, pretty boring and still it took a long time to buy. Even now, I worry he spent too much but it's not rosy for the average joe.

      I agree with the second part of your comment, definitely disagree with the first part. I mean Cruise is a better actor overall than Alan that’s forsure but as far as the role of Reacher, no, AR is far better suited than Tom Cruise.
      I do agree however it’s junk food. It feels like Yellowstone in a sense in that it’s like shows about conservative male fantasies, the dialogue is so hammed up at times and way too obvious in its messaging. The plots are always predictable but the target audience doesn’t care, they want their red meat, nothing crazy.

    When Alan spoke of Genesis 1, and mentioned the "chaos" -- wow. I know he's a smart guy, far more intelligent than outward signs would indicate, but that's quite the exegesis. I'm a former minister, now atheist, and that is precisely the sentiment in Hebrew. His passing mention of "Q" -- something most scholars now are divided on -- is still impressive. While I don't think Matthew and Luke pulled from Q and most likely from copies of Mark and Matthew for Luke, it's still very impressive.

      Exactly. Why can't people see this as well?
      Bill uses his platform to regularly spread these religious internet fallacies because he's what called a lazy atheist. He tries to appeal to authority, to back up his claims, but I bet if he was confronted and asked to provide a credible source to back these, you'd see him quickly move onto another subject and say "I'm tired of these religious talks, let's talk about those cool sneakers, where'd you get those?"
      He's just another ill-informed atheist. You'll find plenty of them down your local sports bar, but the difference is, he has a platform watched by thousands of gullible people on the internet who buy into his nonsense. It's not like he is an expert at anything, or seen as a voice of reason. He is a comedian, he is only good at making fun of things. Bill feels the need to either make people laugh, or ridicule them for not having the same views and opinions as him. Quite sad really when you think about. His insecurities and feeling empty, isn't comforted in Christ or God's word, instead he covers it up with humor.

    As someone with similar diagnoses to Alan, it’s extremely encouraging to hear him speak out about his mental health and destigmatizing it. It goes to show people that this truly is a disease and not a matter of mindset or circumstances. You can have everything going for you on the outside and it can consume you nonetheless.

    I'm an Athiest, and I agree with Bill on his postion of religion, but that is a personal belief. And there others who won't believe it in it, to the extent they will use viloence to push their religious belifefs, *cough Palestine* cough all the middle east*.
    He is a sweet person who chooses to not push his beliefs on anyone, and his beliefs do no harm to anyone (as he isn't forcing anyone to follow his belief).
    Bill just always needs to feel he is right, no respect for people who disagree, and most importantly, do no harm with their beliefs. Their beliefs are what give them secuity, and a moral compass, that harms no one. That is the ideal relgious person you want in our society.
