I hope so too. I would guess his chaotic and unpredictable (putting it lightly) childhood damaged him greatly and maybe irreparably. Even if he was a better father to his children than his father was to him, that would be something. |
Hahaha you reference God while trying to mock him. OMG that’s ironic! |

Galatians 5:19–21 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. James 1:14–15 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. 1 John 1:7–9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Romans 3:9-12 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” The Parable of the Lost Son 11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ 28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ 31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” |
Russel Brand is Not My God |
We need to get the pp who's outraged about various OP's on your case for twisting what pp was saying. Oh wait, you probably are that perpetually outraged pp. |
Catholicism doesn't need these grifters. And getting baptized doesn't absolve you from all sin and filth. If you were a true man or woman of faith, you'd do it quietly and spend years becoming a Catholic. Getting baptized is hardly a heavy lift. |
I agree and I'm always surprised when people believe in someone's sincerity just because they say they're baptised/found God now. It's very kind and sincere, but in the case of Russell Brand, I think some skepticism is a valid response. I remember seeing a stand up he did about 20 years ago about being sober from sex addiction. He disproved that. In his case, I wouldn't be surprised if he did this in order to rehabilitate his image due to recent accusations and nothing more. |
Brand’s childhood was horrific. He should be held accountable for the crimes he’s committed if found guilty. His dad is/was a disgusting scumbag who never should have had children. |
Thanks! |
NP. Was this supposed to make sense? |

DP. I think pp's have made the valid point that we can't know Brand's motivations. But God knows, and that's what matters. |
I think Brand is a very broken person. I think he’s gotten away with being an absolute jerk for some reason, hollywood took him in and made him a star for some time. Hollywood is great at letting scumbags be scumbags- look, Harvey Weinstein is free now. Everyone knows what he’s done, or some of what he’s done. Whatever is going on in his heart and mind, God does know. |
