Religious for 15 minutes Russell Brand said it’s time to look again at the Bible and this comeback blew the rest out of the park

As you can’t possibly have failed to notice by now, Russell Brand has found God – well, one of them – and boy does he like to talk about it.

A lot.

Baptised by Bear Grylls in the Thames and facing historic sexual assault claims which he has denied, Brand’s taken his right-on religion roadshow across America and online, and here he is talking about why it’s time to look again at the Bible.

A 40 year old recently divorced chick who just finished her first semester of nursing school at the community college and thinks she’s a doctor now but it’s Russell Brand teaching the gospel. I’ve seen this more than once before. https://t.co/F3SM0KAeXk

But this one surely knocked the rest out of the park.

You start to get the impression they aren't converting to Christianity, but converting Christianity into something else. https://t.co/nYKN8j6FLA
