You know, out here in Los Angeles in some of this industry and stuff that I'm
in,
it's not a rejection against Christ, but there's definitely, you know, religion
isn't super welcome.
People want to be offended or people want, you know, there's this vibe out here
sometimes I feel like,
oh, you're going to offend, oh, you can't have, you know, there's something
weird about faith, you know,
or in some areas people are like thoughts and prayers, that kind of, people don't
like that.
But man, I feel like faith is just such a healing thing for people.
Yeah, I feel alone.
I feel hitchhiking when I, you know, if I don't have some kind of a faith.
And I, you know, as I even talk about this, I realize that my faith isn't very
strong right now
and that it can really be tightened up.
And, but yeah, to feel, I mean, you know, having faith, that's a free path.
You get a parent.
You get a free parent.
I might, man, I'm not thinking I'm out here in this world, this is all for me.
This is all on my back, that I have no point, that I'm, that I don't have an umbilical
cord
to some sort of being.
Now, Jesus Christ, man, that was the most popular guy in my area growing up.
You know, I think a dude is a great role model.
He, I think he could be the son of God.
I think a lot, I think, you know, his brother could be, who's the little chubby
guy, that
positive baby, that little fruit, that bad boy eating fruits in the diaper.
Buddha.
Maybe Buddha's his brother.
And mother nature is their sister.
And yin and yang are their Asian cousins.
And you got this one big, beautiful family of people that, when we feel alone,
we don't
have to.
Or when we feel like we're not part of something, that we don't have to.
I can't, and look, I know some people out there are atheists and stuff, and
they don't
want to believe in anything, and that's, you know, and I just, I can't
understand it.
But I also come from a place where I think I've felt alone a lot.
And so, if you're telling me that there is a free person, there is a free being,
a free
body, a free parent, a free love, a free heart out there in the universe that
will help
me not feel alone, man, come on.
That's a lottery ticket that I don't have to scratch, man.
I'll take that all day.
I'll take that all day because I want to be a part of something bigger.
I don't want to be a part of just myself, you know?
And I want to leave here, and I want to feel something again.
I want to feel something again, even if it's just the feeling of your spirit.
A touch in the spirit of your parents, or of your grandparents, or of your
sister, or
of one of your ancestors, or somebody else's, just a feeling of your spirit
bumping into
somebody else's in another world that's safe and normal, and comfortable, maybe
not even
normal.
Some new normal.
I don't know.
I'll take that chance, man.
Fuck, I'd love to be a ghost, bro.
Dude, could you imagine if we get to be ghosts?
It's going to be so much fun.
Imagine being ghosts.
You eat, everything you eat just falls right onto the floor.
I would love that.
I think Jesus Christ would be a great guest.
I think he'd be great to talk to.
I think that'd be a nice person to sit down and have lunch with, you know?
I think it's a great role model.
You know, I don't want to not have any faith, man.
I feel like it's, I don't want to not have any.
And now I'm open to figuring out where that faith lies.
You know, one thing that was interesting for me was when I started to travel
and go to other
countries and see that other people believed in different deities and different
gods.
It was not fair to me to then think, oh, well, none of these people go to
heaven
or none of these people go to an afterlife or only my God is the only one.
But you got to believe in something good.
I ain't accepting any of these cats believing in the dark arts.
You know, that thinking all the treasures right here on earth, that's tricky,
man.
That's, it just seems cold.
It just seems, and look, I'm open to learn.
And, but for me, the way that religion has always been most comfortable in my
life,
in my environment when I grew up, was Catholicism or Baptists, you know, Presbyterians.
Dude, I thought Presbyterians were honestly lesbians.
I didn't know, I thought, I didn't know, I mixed it up when I was young.
Dude, and I would hear those bells ring and I would, you know, I'd be like,
dang, they got a lot of ladies heading over there.
A lot of ladies, boy.
Going to be packing into that building.
Because I thought Presbyterians were, you know, straight up lesbians, but, but
it's different.
Wow, you know what's crazy is my sister can't even read.
But what does it have to do with us right now?
Hope you enjoyed that video.
