"...I can't find a flaw in the way [Jesus] tells you to live..." -Joe Rogan, Podcaster

"There's a lot of atheists and secular people that just like to dismiss Christianity as foolish. Fairy tales. I hear that among self-professed intelligent people, like it's a fairy tale," he said. "I don't know (that) that's true. I think there's more to it. I think it's history, but I think it's a confusing history. It's a confusing history because it was a long time ago, and it's people telling things in an oral tradition and writing things down in a language that you don't understand, in the context of a culture that you don't understand."

"He died on the cross, supposedly, for our sins. It's a fascinating story. What does it represent though?" he added. "What was that? Who was Jesus Christ?"

Christianity has been a hot topic on The Joe Rogan Experience, the reigning king of the podcast sphere, for several years. Rogan recently interviewed Christian apologist Wes Huff and has talked Christianity with figures ranging from Mel Gibson to Kid Rock.

In a three-hour conversation with journalist and author Michael Shellenberger that aired last Monday, Rogan returned to the subject of Christianity—and Shellenberger asked him directly if he identified himself as a Christian.

"I'm fascinated by the story of Jesus Christ... I can't find a flaw in the way [Jesus] tells you to live," Rogan said, after repeating several of the facts about the Bible that Huff had discussed with him earlier.

"Are you Christian?" Shellenberger asked.

"Well, I go to church," Rogan replied. "I have been for quite a while. I've been doing it for the last three or four years." Shellenberger observed that this response did not quite answer his question, and Rogan responded: "Because I don't know. I think it's very interesting. And I do believe that if you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, you will live a better life. I really do believe that."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
