"I _need_ to believe that there is some greater power that is forgiving me for being the monster I am." -Jim Gaffigan

[@jandreid1056]

"need"

[@greg_216]

Fact: most people go around feeling like they need a big forgiving hug. Sometimes daily. Sometimes hourly. (Even this atheist understands that much.) Maybe we just need more forgiving hugs.

[@StaceofCakes]

Yes, even atheists need hugs too. I don’t trust people who say “I’m not a hugger.” It’s not human. I don’t need that negativity in my life. C’mere, bring it in Greg.

I love this dude and I know how supportive a church family can be. Mine has come together for me and my family throughout my entire life. I was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer about three years ago. Needless to say my family and I were having a tough go of it. Those folks provided emotional support for us all the way through my surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. I consider myself really blessed to have such a wonderful group of people thinking about and praying for me. ps- I survived. Medical University of South Carolina brain surgeons removed a tumor the size of a deck of playing cards from the left frontal lobe of my brain. Yaayyyy modern medical science! I was in and out of the hospital in less than 24 hours with no side effects. MUSC was on point with this one. Radiation therapy wasn't that bad. Chemo was horrible. God is good. I am thankful.

[@cloudwatcher608]

Elektric Skeptic Johaniskraut Bernstein Or'Cheard I would agree but challenge your statement by saying that the majority of faith-based individuals are not motivated by anger, fear, and hate, but the ones who are tend to garner far more attention. Pay attention to the ones you meet that have faith apart from political and national affiliation. They will probably surprise you in how authentic and sincere they are in the love and compassion they demonstrate. Jesus instructed his disciples to beware the leaven of the Pharisees (empty religious devotion) and of Herod (political gain). Unfortunately so few believers have the understanding and wherewithal to obey.

I think what he's trying to say is that he loves some aspects of religion, like the sense of family, but he doesnt truly believe everything about it. I'm in the same type of relationship he is but I dont pretend to believe. My thought process is all the good things that you like about your religion can be achieved without the supernatural stuff. You just have to be a better person not for a god, but for you and your fellow humans.

[@DrejaAndi]

Agreed. If people get that from their church, that's great. But it's not because of the church, it's because of the people that go there. You also don't need a church to find friends, community, and a supportive environment. I have that with my neighbors. And yes, believe it or not, I live in America. How sad is it that people feel they can't get that from their neighbors in America so they need to look for it in church?

[@jeffs6090]

Agree as well. Just look at the bible. It's basically a guide book on how to be a good human, a decent member of society. It's a book of stories, allegories, and metaphors trying to teach you lessons on life. People get into trouble when they take these stories as the literal truth as if it actually happened that way with all the magic and such. If people want to waste their time with religion, aka mythology, and pour their hard earned money into the pockets of the clergy, go right ahead. I on the other hand can be a good human on my own. It isn't difficult.

So when I had a kid, I gave her a name that she doesn't even realize is her name because I've never called her that, I call her by her nickname and don't even introduce her by her real name.

The Spanish have different names for all the countries too. They even call the British royal families by different names. It's Prince Carlos and Queen Isabella. My favourite is prince Enrique for prince Harry.

And Guillermo for William, which is so freaking annoying

As (I am) a former Catholic and confirmed agnostic, Colbert is the only person in the world I can hear speak of religion and not make me want to change the channel. Absolute respect.

I always thought the emoji standard set was created in Japan, and that’s why the prayer-hands emoji comes up when you type “thanks,” rather than for “please” or “hope.”

[@akinigiri]

Yea, in JPN it means thanks, but more often it means please, it can also mean prayer though, but not very common as JPN isn't very religious.

Love Jim. Always been one of my fav comedians. I was curious tho, if he's Catholic, why no wedding band?

[@amnz-pq6py]

Some people are allergic to metals. Although, I suppose he could get one made out of something other than metal. Wearing a ring drives me CRAZY! I can't stand the feel of it on my finger. For Jim, it could be any number of reasons.

Thank you for the praying hands emoji call out! I am an RCIA Director (for adults going through the process of becoming Catholic), and I agree the praying hands emoji is weird. Lots of friends use it. Words are easy friends. I'm saying this on the platform I will never be 'caught' on! :-)

Namaste 🙏

[@michaelwooley608]

On slack 🙏 is interpreted as “thanks.” (Try typing :thanks: and see what comes up.) First few times people sent that to me I was kind of confused.

[@MarySmith-ry9cu]

It also reminds me of begging...
