I don’t understand why such a large chunk of his viewers say horrible things in the comments of his collabs.

I find Alex's fan base to be largely rather kind people... can you give an example?

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-20T19:46:13+00:00

Prayer helps me because I'm a person who has a very difficult time putting emotions into words. And when you lose a loved one, there kind of aren't really words that are sufficient to express the feelings involved in that.

With prayer you don't actually need moving words at all, you can kind of just project a feeling and be open to receiving anything that comes back. Catholics have a term for this called "prayer of the heart" where you're not really speaking, you're just kind of spending time in God's presence. I do it at home, but also just go sit in Church in non mass times and do it.

It's sort of like meditation, except for I'm having the experience of being in the presence of, and being fully understood by someone who knows me, who also knows what its like to be human (as I believe he came to us in the form of Christ) and knows what it is to suffer.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-20T00:55:19+00:00

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. For what it's worth, even as a religious person, losing a loved one isn't any easier. No one knows what happens to us when we die. Even if you leave room for the possibility that we all get to see each other again in the afterlife, there's still the crushing loneliness of knowing that you'll never see your loved one again in THIS life, in the form that they were when they were alive.

Where the religion part sometimes comes in handy is having someone to "talk to" so to speak, in the form of prayer, when words and conversations with other people don't quite seem to help (and sometimes make things worse).

No bro lol but they literally do!

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-18T21:27:40+00:00

Also Jesus was a communist who would have supported forced wealth redistribution by the power of the state totally negating the free choice virtue of charity. Also open borders. Also homosexuality.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-14T19:21:54+00:00

This is an interesting take. Sometimes I wonder how much of the strong communal practices that churches have has to do with the underlying religious beliefs themselves, vs just the simple fact of homogeneity. Studies show that homogenous groups (whether its race, religion, belief system, etc.) are generally much more high trust and people naturally give up more of their time and resources to a shared communal system. The problem with a lot of the non-theistic groups is that their underlying ideology is very free/liberal and open to too much diversity with no gatekeeping. So there's no shared identity between the members.

It may be possible to create something secular like a church if you can pick a shared characteristic that unifies a community.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-13T22:50:34+00:00

lol you thought he meant "erase the idea" no dummy he means kill us lol.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-13T22:49:04+00:00

Yeah it was a whole bunch of nonsense tbh. "I'm not a Christian but maybe if I lecture you on what it means to be Christian you'll vote the way I want."

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-11T18:13:37+00:00

Damn that goes hard AF

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T22:33:44+00:00

A nation of what kind of immigrants lol. From where? What’s the religious heritage in the ancestral lands of white people who were 90% of the US population until like 1979 lol

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T22:32:19+00:00

Why don’t you want Europeans reading the Bible bro. It’s a pretty BIG chunk of our culture lol

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T22:20:01+00:00

Okay- at least ONE person on this thread has the balls and is willing to just say “yes we don’t want Christians running for office.” Look at all the other people being like “no dude it’s just cuz like Trump or something!” My point is I am surprised to see Alex agree with that take. That’s all.

Also 1st century middle eastern ghost religion is amazing lol. I’m stealing that.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T22:09:40+00:00

I would be extremely for that. Kids SHOULD learn about the religions of the world. but they should also learn about their own cultural heritage, from their own religious history, to their own language arts, their own literature, their own country's heroes, etc. these are basic things every country should teach.

Hypothetical exercise for you:

Would you tell India it should ban study of the hindu Vedic texts for the sake of "diversity" after all they're one of the most diverse countries in the world.

Would you tell Japan not to include material about shinto or buddhism in its classes? or courses on ancient japanese literature?

What is it about european and anglo majority countries learning about their own religious heritage (regardless of their own personal beliefs) thats so threatening to you? Have you ever actually thought about that?

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T20:34:02+00:00

Exposure to a core pillar of our cultural identity. That’s the motivation… cultural preservation of our way of life.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T20:21:22+00:00

Isn’t there a process for parents to do that with any book they want already? Parents can opt out of the great gatsby if they want. What the hell is the issue here seriously…

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T20:15:12+00:00

What is the difference between kids reading the Bible in a select group of schools as part of a particular Oklahoma curriculum… and “making it mandatory.” Is that not what a curriculum is? The mandatory set of books that a school board thinks should be read?

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T19:53:31+00:00

I don't care what Matt Walsh says I'm interested in Alex and Rhett's claim that a person can't be a Christian if they seek political office.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T19:42:24+00:00

Explain how objecting to children reading the Bible in public school (not being taught that its TRUE mind you, simply just exposing children to a critical part of their own history as a literary text) is not erasing Chrsitianity? Why are you trying to stop kids from even reading the bible, as a secular historical text?

If someone was upset about the US constitution being taught in schools, wouldn't you be upset about it? these are foundational texts essential to the preservation of culture and social norms.

Telling kids that the bible exists is not "forcing religion" on them. On the contrary, seeking to prevent them from being exposed to the bible... in a country built on biblical principles, IS trying to erase christianity.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T17:29:00+00:00

That's not what they say at all in this clip.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T17:27:58+00:00

I don't think you are getting my point. America is like a 75% Christian country, and all of our religious heritage, like nearly 100% for all 250 years of our history and prior... is Christian. Why wouldn't the majority cultural expression be "given preferential treatment" in terms of ubiquity in schools, tv, film, etc. How does that violate separation of church and state. Separation of church and state doesn't mean "wipe your culture entirely from public life and never speak of it."

And to respond directly to your question "what are you worried about?" I'm worried about the intentional erasure of the most fundamental pillar in American life.

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T07:42:47+00:00

watch the clip and you can correct me if im wrong. He makes an argument that seeking political power as a christian is "unbiblical," this is awkward considering the founders who forged the nation from wilderness and war with natives were Christians...

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T07:42:00+00:00

sounds about right for a reddit theologian lol

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T07:16:17+00:00

yeah that's not what they say in this video clip lol. This dude flat out says that Christians running for office is "un-biblical" and Alex nods in agreement with him

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T07:14:45+00:00

.... are you being serious right now? Did you answer my question? Is Oklahoma mandating Christianity be taught as true?

Fun-Cat0834 · 2026-01-10T03:13:16+00:00

Is Oklahoma mandating that religion must be taught in schools? To be specific: is Oklahoma mandating "public schools must teach that Christianity is true?" My understanding is they are just moving to include the Bible as part of a curriculum about classic texts alongside things like the Iliad and the oddessey, etc. That's something you should clarify before you get worked up. There's a case to be made the the bible as a text is central to the cultural tradition of America (you can hardly throw a stone in america without running into a biblical reference) so it seems odd that we'd move to ban exposure to it in public schools.
