I think the only or the best way, because I thought a lot about this, about how did gay Americans go from being universally hated and despised to the point that many people in the 80s went to their graves, those who had AIDS, without even telling their parents because they were so scared, to now Times Square is just covered in pride flags. Mm-hmm.

And this also works for Islamophobia and some of these other bigotry, is what I call the ambassador program. Because as soon as you know someone who is a member of a certain group, it is a lot harder to be bigoted against them. Because instead of this being this out group that's somewhere out there, it's like, wait a minute, I work with this guy. Yeah, he's kind of a jerk.

Maybe he sees things a little differently than me, but this guy is not a horrible human being. So I think the only way to fight any form of bigotry is to be a good example of the counter to these, whatever archetype or stereotype is in the culture.

No, I hate that quote. I absolutely hate it. I despise this sort of Reddit internet atheist activism for the simple reason that I know many people who, in finding faith, have become objectively better human beings. They start living consciously, they take morality seriously, they try, we all fail, to be moral good people.

So this sneering that these midwits, these marginally intelligent people have towards religious people. Now, lots of religious people use religion to rationalize their, bad behavior or sinful or big ego, so on and so forth. That exists, that's true.

But to say that it never helps anyone and it's universally... See, Marx was talking about a period, I mean, I'll defend his quote, when his argument was the masses are being starved and oppressed but they're promised, don't worry, you'll have riches in heaven. So you should kind of let yourself be pushed around now. And this is kind of this BS bargain that the people are being given.

So that was, I think, the point he was making. It certainly doesn't apply nowadays. I've been close to the family in the Midwest. They're good Christian people. I remember very specifically this guy, shout out to him, Sean Sherrod, I went to college with him, David Lucas. And- Have you checked out the Comedy Mothership? Great club. It's in Austin. Willie Nelson. And I was 17, 18, freshman year.

And I was reading all this criticism of the Bible. And I was like, look, this is in there. Look at this in there. And he put his hand on my shoulder and he says, Michael, there's nothing you're going to tell me that's going to make me lose my faith. And that was a very self-aware and profound thing to say.
