Podcaster Joe Rogan recently revealed more about his ongoing journey toward Christianity, explaining he has been moved by the kindness of Christians he knows at church and that he has grown convinced the Bible shouldn’t be entirely mythical.
“I believe they’re relaying a truth,” Rogan said of Christians during a Nov. 30 episode of the “American Alchemy” podcast.
“I do not think it’s myth. I do not think the entire thing is myth, but I do not think it’s entirely accurate either,” he said.
Rogan went on to notice that he was recently discussing the book of Revelation along with his daughter, and that he told her no person knows how the prophecies in that book will play out.
He went on to say he finds the Bible fascinating, despite the fact that he stays unsure how much of it’s literally true. He also said he has taken note at how kind the Christians have been on the church he has been often attending, which is reportedly a non-denominational church in Austin, Texas.
“The Scripture, to me, is what’s interesting; it’s fascinating,” he said. “Christianity, not less than, is the one thing I actually have experience with. It works. The folks that are Christians, that go to this church that I am going to, that I meet, which can be Christian, they’re the nicest f—ing people you’ll ever meet.”
“They’re really kind, and so they’re even nice out of church. When you permit the church car parking zone, everybody helps you to go in front of them. There’s nobody honking within the church car parking zone. It works.”
“So no matter whether or not it’s based on a completely true story, I believe it’s an ancient relaying of an actual event and of the true history of human beings,” he added.
Rogan has been increasingly outspoken about Christianity on his influential podcast inside the past 12 months.
He interviewed Christian apologist Wes Huff in January for an hours-long conversation about faith, Jesus and the supernatural claims of the Bible. Huff revealed in May that Rogan had begun attending church often.
“That has been a consistent thing,” Huff said of Rogan’s church attendance, noting the 2 have remained in contact. Rogan was mocked by fellow comedians on his podcast earlier this 12 months when he revealed he’s been going.
Rogan expressed skepticism last May concerning the Big Bang theory’s claim that the universe created itself out of nothing, and said he finds the Resurrection to be more realistic.
“It’s funny, because people might be incredulous concerning the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, but yet, they’re convinced that your complete universe was smaller than a head of a pin and that for no reason that anyone has adequately explained to me, instantaneously became every part? OK,” he said.
“I’m sticking with Jesus on that one,” he later added. “Jesus makes more sense. People have come back to life.”
In October, Rogan pushed back against those that dismiss the Bible as myth, and implied such individuals are usually not as clever as they imagine themselves to be.
“I hear that amongst self-professed intelligent people, prefer it’s a fairy tale,” he said. “I do not know that is true. I believe I believe there’s more to it. I believe it’s history, but I believe it is a confusing history. It’s a confusing history since it was a protracted time ago, and it’s people telling things in an oral tradition and writing things down in a language that you just don’t understand, within the context of a culture that you just don’t understand.”
