What's on the tape
A transcript, made by machine from the audio and tidied up. It gets names and the odd word wrong, so treat it as a way to find the bit you want rather than as a quotation. Every timestamp jumps to that moment in the video.
0:01 Research that you are you consider yourself a born again Christian now there's a lot of U new comedians coming out now on the circuit and it seems like every new comedian. Has a bit on being an atheist so when you hear something like that does that pee you off or you get annoyed you have arguments. Over it it depends what they're. Saying if as you're suggesting it's the latest fad and there is isn't any really thought behind it then I don't have much respect for it some people. Thinking through issues and that that's great I often have long conversations with Robin in and people like that you know we're both open to the idea. That we might not be completely right about everything yeah which is kind of a key thing I think. Yeah so it depends what they're saying I think so what what would make you angry what would make you kind of mad they just like literally.
0:53 Ripped into religion said anyone who believes it is a noed with that kind of yeah that would. Yes I think that is the thing actually. Dismissing 2,000 years of sincerity and martyrdom uhhuh yeah no beds hang on a minute hang on hang on hold your horses so exactly what are you offering. In replacement of this is it because otherwise I'm thinking maybe you're the knobhead heads over there not not here argue that um to have a faith is true. Alternative rather than but there plenty of people what I find is that a lot of people do have a faith it's just not stuck in organized. Religion and either it's a maybe different religion or a version either people have been to church and didn't like it or whatever it is and had something.
1:55 Go wrong and have had to sort of make their own faith or have their own way of seeing things and you know in a way church. Is just like a gym. And it doesn't make you fit in itself yeah it's just useful if you can use it yeah less sweaty gy yeah less sweaty although I just come back from Uganda. Right so it's no use if you just stay and show off to the other members anyway you actually should be preparing yourself for going out and doing. Some team thing somewhere sure so don't get me started.
