    Its in the same realm as everyone else who wants to be baptized…they have some ‘awakening’ and find some type of ritual to revel in it, pull things together to intensify the reveling and justification of their ‘awakening’ and those things are false comparisons(his comparision of religious violence and ‘secular violence’), complaints about the modern world, past mistakes. Also since he is an addict he’s switching to another addiction. Not sure what more I can say?

    I also find it to be incredibly narcssicistic. It is a self-proclamation from a new convert to make a video about converting 24 hours after his conversion…it means nothing to me in any way shape or form, especially from someone who has a large platform.

    I’m not sure if I’m supposed to have anything beyond that about some stranger who has no relevance in my life. I was once a Christian for over a decade so the over all topic I have strong opinions towards but that video was nothing different from what I experienced in the modern church decades ago now. The only difference is irrelevant details, character names and the timeline. Replace Russell Brand with John Doe and you can copy and paste my response.
