[@EduardoPerez-hf6du]

His only flaw is that he smokes cigarettes

[@unbothered8740]

Guys like him are a dying breed... we must protect him at all costs!!!!

[@jackcollins2568]

He had hesitation when he said Jesus in front of Ellen. It takes alot of courage to say something like that in a society that thinks hating Jesus is powerful. I'm an atheist but I think he is brave to say Jesus was one of his inspiration. I just hope he doesnt back off of it like he did with his Kanye comment backlash.

[@Thadon33]

Great commentary, guys

[@Thadon33]

ReelRisky Reviews Personally, I couldn’t lose respect for you unless I decided to. Especially not, if you and billions of others swear that Jesus brings you a peace, like no other. Or that He comforts you and brings miraculous healings to your body and/or mind. Instead, I would be very happy that you found a faith in something that inspires and makes your life, and that of others, better. In fact, I’d be more prone to, for myself, see what all of the fuss is about, instead of trying to take that away from you. But then again... we’re just different people, aren’t we?

[@ChimdiMelody]

Jack Collins I noticed and I would’ve shouted “yes! Speak on God!” If I was in the audience. The belief is nothing to be ashamed of ❤️❤️

[@blazerfan2328]

Well said, I’m not a believer, but it absolutely makes no sense for bashing someone’s beliefs when it brings joy to their lives.

Alize Serrano she’s a business woman like her mom. The fact that she went on ELLEN to give money back is so calculated.
