Watch the stand-up comedy video 'Kat Von D Got Baptized, and Christians Have Some Thoughts' from Theo Von Clips on Comedy Buff. Published 2023-12-12. Transcript available.

yeah so what how did your journey go to like i don't know if i want to call it
a journey but like
what was like what like role has religion like played in your life and stuff
because um you know
i think it's we're at a time in the world i think it just in i think we're
always at a time in the
world but i think we're it feels like a lot of people are looking for something
that makes sense
more i feel like we're getting exhausted by the truth that a lot of the things
that we feel like
will make us feel good aren't doing it you know um i feel like that a lot of
times but um yeah what
what is some of that experience been like i mean if you got baptized they
really how what kind of uh
and was it like uh what are they doing in what are they baptized you in water
oh yeah yeah good huh
oh here's your video right here
oh it's pretty there huh
upon your profession of faith in the lord jesus christ and in obedience to his
divine command
i baptize you my sister in the name of the father and the spirit
oh congratulations i still get teary-eyed when i see that that's cool it's
powerful yeah yeah how what is
that like in your life yeah um what's it like how do you get there like how do
you get because i think
a lot of people are lost i feel lost a lot of times you know i think a lot of
us feel that way
and so how do you feel like you solved like you're lost um well i mean or is
that even a fair question
i don't know yeah i know i get what you're saying i i was brought up with um
christianity in in my
childhood and and then i strayed and uh so like in a nutshell i just kind of in
the last five years
have like made my way back and have a a different understanding than maybe when
i was a kid because
i think when you're a kid you're like or at least for me it was like we just go
to church because that's
what we have to do and um you know i don't i didn't have actual profound
questions that i i want answered
like i do now and so i think as an adult you get to have a different
understanding of that and so that
that's kind of what you know how i in a weird artsy way just kind of came back
and i just the last five
years i've just been studying the bible and um and now like at this church like
we have our women's
bible study and stuff that i that i attend and um and i just have a meeting you
go to right i watched
another podcast that you were on oh yeah yeah oh yeah um i heard you talk about
anyway that you guys
have a bible study each week yeah yeah um and you know i think i'm i'm going to
always have questions
and continue to want to learn and have deeper understandings of things and so
but i in that
podcast that you probably watched like i talk about like a little bit what you
you said it's
like we're trying to find meaning or um want to feel again you know and i think
there's a lot of
temporary fixes or you know um like you know i used to like i was an addict and
i you know i'm so i'll
have uh 17 years sober in july wow and so you know i think i feel like those
are all things that kind
of like lead you in that in that direction yeah and yeah i think you know it's
such an intimate and
personal thing like my relationship with god is my own and um and i i've never
really felt like i
belonged anywhere um like especially now i think like being public with my
faith um puts you into
like this microscopic um critical tank you know and so i get criticized from
from all sides now which
yeah i don't care because at the end of the day i i'm you know my relationships
with with god not you
but right but it is interesting i feel like now it just becomes funny like some
of the comments i
get yeah i think because people have a hard time understanding the aesthetic
and pairing that with
something which is your aesthetic you mean yeah right the ambiance of you and
then compare and
then pairing in christianity and it's so silly to me and like i i don't
understand how people don't
see how um close-minded that is you know and how like yeah why would you think
that you have to look
a certain way to to have an understanding of the bible you know yeah or you
know yeah that's a good
point too i think it's all well a lot of that there's a lot of interest in
stuff there you know
yeah like like i do but you know so i mean there's a lot to think about in all
of this yeah for sure
you know like one time i went to like a jordan peterson um uh lecture and my
husband and i were
like the only people that looked like us there um but i was like people you
mean what you mean black
no i just like and i don't want to diss on like jordan's fan base but i feel
like
there everybody had their own uniform you know like there was just rows of
people in front of me and
they all kind of dressed the same really yeah and i was like man for some for
people and i'm not
again not judging or criticizing but you would think that like free free
thinkers would or maybe they
just don't care i don't know like so the church i go to is like a really small
church and it's it's
there's not enough people to have a a running trend or anything like that but
when i went to like a big
church in california recently i looked around and it's like a lot of people
have the same same style
and so i realized that maybe because um like modern day christians are so used
to being surrounded by
people that look the same as them when someone like like me comes into the mix
it's like oh wait
this is demonic or this is because i get called demonic a lot or um or this is
like you know you're
serving two masters and i'm like i i don't think any of that is accurate you
know i don't think you have
to there's no dress code to to be a christian yeah there's like um oh that's baffling
to me yeah but
i get it a lot like i just recently posted this the like my last post was just
uh i thought was like
a very cool like modest image of me like in a in a dress and some funny shoes
and i just oh the comments
are just hilarious it's just people like satan's gonna bring you home and just
things like that's
crazy yeah yeah i i guess there's all levels of everything like yeah i didn't
get into like the
christian like if you like like i thought i was gonna get hate from my existing
fans you know like
just people who are like feel like you could be a deserter or something or
maybe people that are
fans of yours that uh are don't have a religion or aren't christians or
something they would have a
a thought about it and no they've been super loving and open-minded and i love
that you know but yeah
it's been the other the other side that i was just so surprised but wow yeah
you know that's it's like
i think there's a lot of like interesting stigmas with christianity i guess
like i look i like religion right i like um i don't know if i care what
religion people are yeah you
know i i think i wish i knew more about some of the religions you know um i
probably prefer
christianity for myself yeah because that's what i know the most yeah and but
or i would say that i
prefer god that's that's the term i like to use and most of my belief started
um through aa
throughout through going to 12-step meetings it was like the first time i ever
like started to get
like an understanding of um like starting to build a relationship with god and
talking to god
and feeling like that if i think or feel something that there's something on
the other side of the
universe that hears it or cares about it right um and that it blew my mind dude
because
you know i've been like i've been electrocuted a couple times whatever oh yeah
but i never uh had a
feeling like this it's not like being electrocuted it's just like feeling like
what do you mean you've
been electrocuted yeah i've been electrocuted dude i've been electrocuted yeah
i mean i guess a handful
of times or whatever yeah yeah i guess one time i got electrocuted at a carnival
when i was young i got
electric oh four three years ago i stepped on i was walking behind a hot uh
food truck and i stepped they had a
a plug-in a big joint plug-in and i stepped right on it and just it just you
know i wasn't it was like
the opposite of being baptized i think it was not it was uncomfortable yeah i
like thinking about god
i love thinking about it now i i don't have a lot of people on that are that i
guess that we talk about
it with as much probably the worst person because i'm not like a studied you
know oh i don't know
anything about like the history of it i mean i know that you know i know about
the family in the woods i
know they had the apple i know one of the sons killed the other one so things
got a little hectic
right out of the gate you know but uh but there's a lot of like the specific i
don't know a lot of the
logistics you know yeah so i think i wouldn't yeah that part i don't know about
yeah but i just think
about feelings and stuff yeah i like thinking about that kind of stuff like i
think about like
the story of job in the bible like um that one is you know even if you look at
it um you know not
literally but like where like job was this guy and i'm gonna just paraphrase it
obviously totally
paraphrase and look if anybody judges somebody for paraphrasing out of the
bible dude we're not pastors
you know yeah yeah for sure yeah we're just two people sitting somewhere trying
our best to be alive
in the universe yeah yeah it's true but thanks um but you know like joe was put
through all these
trials and all the worst things that you can imagine happening to one person
and through it he just
maintained his faith and even at a point where even at one point his wife was
like come on are you
serious like how can you still like praise god when you you know you're losing
your children you're
losing everything we've had you know and um now you're sick and covered in
boils and on the brink of
death you know and he was just like praise god you know and i feel like a lot
of times you know through
my decades of tattooing people and hearing like the worst and saddest stories
like oh yeah just you know
i i was kind of known for doing a lot of portraits and so i would do portraits
of people um their loved
ones who have passed or you know their loved ones who inspired them things like
that and you just hear
some of the most heart-wrenching stuff that like i can't even begin to imagine
like how you're still
walking you know but um but they still find a way you know and i feel like that's
like i want to be
like job in that sense you know because like this the like the last few years
for me i've been so rough
like behind the curtains you know i don't share all my i'm not the type of
person that goes on instagram
and cries you know but it's like you know we we suffer quietly through things
and we like um you know
no one's no one has a perfect life and um but i'm still gonna live in a state
of gratitude
you know and i'm still gonna be like excited to be here sitting with you today
you know and it's like
the the world could be falling apart and i'm still like i praise god you know
yeah um yeah it gives you
hope i think yeah that's the thing i think that's i don't know i mean i yeah i
love that yeah and we do
also it is interesting how we suffer quietly huh yeah i mean some some suffer
loudly like a dick but
oh yeah like my freaking neighbor's dog i think he's not even suffering and uh
but it's loud yeah um
but it's all gonna be okay yeah i think that's what god is to a lot of people
it's a it's a real
it's a it's like i would way rather have hope me too than not have it yeah that's
the thing it's like
and yeah i don't know i've just felt god i've just felt god like same i didn't
it was the only thing i
could say it was yeah you know because one time i was smoking a bunch of menthols
actually going back
to cigarettes but my girlfriend had broken up with me and i was about to just
you know peel my skin off of
my body and feed it to something and i wasn't doing real well and i was just
really doing real
bad just on the inside i was just and i just i mean i swear it's crazy i felt
like something
literally just like put like a like a big hand went around my heart and i
started to feel better
but i felt like a it really felt like that which is same yeah i had the exact
same really yeah it was
weird and i don't really talk about it because then you sound all like i don't
give a people know i'm
that you know we're doing our best yeah yeah if anybody thinks yeah that they
they think i know
anything about god like any exact low-key bts information about the lord they're
out of their
effing mind and if they think they do too then they're out of their effing mind
i just am trying
to think out loud and feel out loud with somebody yeah is that what that but
you had something similar
yeah yeah where i felt like like a hand like just kind of um wrapping me in
warmth and um and i just
i just uh had this feeling of surrendering to it you know where i was just like
oh man like it's
it's gonna be fine and it's not it's not me just be like oh tell myself until
like you know like no
like i had like a clear understanding that like you got me you know yeah it's
kind of cool yeah
Thank you.
