Henry Rollins: "Find A God Who Likes You" on SIRIUS XM

[AuroraPoison]

I feel the same way about marriage. The institution of marriage is broken, lost and incorporated, why get in?

[90cta395]

I love how Henry is even more badass as an old man than when he was young.

[starbattle226]

well the irony is Catholism is just a corruption of Christianity it fused paganism and then broke every rule int he Bible. Priest are the Catholic laws have no place or meaning it he bible even Jesus stood against it. Its not finding a god who likes u its finding a religion that isnt run like a political joke

[murphydonaldrnr]

GOD JESUS CHRIST MOTHER MARY DOSENT CARE THAT YOURE GAY THEY ACTUALLY CREATED US THAT WAY!!!FATHER TOLD ME!!SHOWED ME!!!GAVE ME PEOPLE!!!SILLY !!!

[Pilaf1984]

@TheRacer909 Evolution is not only science, but it's overwhelmingly accepted by the vast majority of the scientific community. There are more biologists named "Steve" who accept evolution than every single biologist of any name who doesn't.

[iamtheproxy]

I'm going to give the commenter below the benefit of the doubt, and assume he's just a try- hard troll. Because if he/she actually believes evolution is "Just a brainwashing technique from the UN" then wow. wow. It's actually possible for someone to be that stupid.

[existenceisrelative]

Quite apart from any of the "issues" he talked about, I love that someone's finally talking some common fucking sense. Everyone seems to enjoy busying themselves trying to make people that don't want them accept them. Through force, through making a law, everyone seems to think that there's something for them on the other side of the fence. Why go there at all? There is really nothing over there that you either don't have on your side, or that you'd want anyway!!

[MetalNick]

@existenceisrelative I understand the point - that you should go somewhere you're accepted - but what if you're accepted nowhere? At some point, fundamental rules, restrictions, regulations need to change so that they are more inclusive and fair. Christianity has been challenged and refined by its followers over the centuries. Why not improve upon it further by correcting its flaws and breaking the status quo? Some Christians believe Jesus accepts EVERYONE.

[existenceisrelative]

@MetalNick "Go where you're accepted" was not my point, it was henry's. I'm saying don't go at all. Because there's nothing over there for you.

[MetalNick]

@existenceisrelative Obviously, many gay people of faith disagree. Christianity does have a message of universal acceptance and love. I am not religious but I don't blame anyone for embracing that and fighting the powers that be within that religious faction, in this case, the proprietors of the private school. I'm all for dissolving unjust powers and reforming religious doctrine so they don't deny rights, to reiterate, especially when acceptance is Christ's core message.

[existenceisrelative]

@MetalNick Then you're a big part of what's wrong. Unless someone was born catholic, then the first thing they learn is that you don't need this or that "particular" church, and that there is no man or woman on earth that can keep you from god. So the most sensible thing to do is to get away from the people who think you're wrong. Because they're non-essential anyway, a distraction.

[NeyFranco]

Henry is the Man!!

[gizmo3250]

Religion was invented by evil forces to build a divide betwen people and nations, and the more we aknowlege religios belives the more power the priests get to spilt us up in the name of a god and the more powerfull they feel. The funny thing is, that once in a while someone comes along and tell the truth, that all peolple are equal no matter what sexual orientation, skin color or personal belives they have. George Carlin said the truth once: re-write the 10 comandments to only one : Be nice!!

[138hyde]

BROTHA IS GETTIN OLD

[underyourskindvd]

Great..

[IdaSputum]

Jesus said LOVE EVERYBODY -- f*** Catholicism or any other BS hypocrisy that's anti-Jesus

[Hancockenstein]

title's a bit over simplified and pointless. aren't they supposed to obey god's guidelines, the love coming from either fear or agreeing with what he thinks life shoudl be like. if you think certain rules are misinterpreted that's fine but eventually when all the undesirable rules add up then you just have a revised set of goals you set yourself and a useless imaginary friend that you know you're lying to yourself about

[ComradeOblivious]

As a Christian I cringe whenever Westboro is mentioned. I cannot stand them and their crap.

[sonicreducer92]

@ComradeOblivious nobody can

[GodFree27]

@ComradeOblivious Shouldn't you cringe more at the book you consider holy calling for the execution of homosexuals?

[ComradeOblivious]

@GodFree27 Considering I'm not a Jew then no, Loving your neighbor as you love yourself overrides everything. There are also many bits about how "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" and how we should not judge people for their sins.

[GodFree27]

@ComradeOblivious If you're a Jew then the Torah is your holy book and the call for the execution of homosexuals contained in Lev 18:22 is part of it. You can cherry pick the nice parts if you wish but I don't find that very consistent.

[ComradeOblivious]

@GodFree27 Considering I'm not a Jew I don't live by the Torah. I live by the teachings of Jesus Christ. Therefore you can go and troll somebody who cares about leviticus as much as you militant atheists do, faithfully preaching that there is nothing, meanwhile (without irony) trying to troll people of faith.

[GodFree27]

@ComradeOblivious Sorry I misread your comment. And I'm fairly certain you don't live by the teachings of Jesus Christ. When was the last time you enforced Christs command in Luke 19:27?

[ComradeOblivious]

@GodFree27 Good job presenting a statement made in a parable sound as if it's a command. Context. Look it up and learn how to use it. Also, go and faithfully preach your faithless faith somewhere else, I'm bored with your narrow minded arrogance as well as acting stupid.

[GodFree27]

@ComradeOblivious Are you so insecure in your beliefs than any you shun any criticism of it? Some people enjoy taking part in the marketplace of ideas. Some people want to have their worldview criticized and scrutinized because whether or not they change their mind they know they'll grow from it. But if your faith is so weak and brittle that you don't even want to discuss it then I'll make this my last comment.

[ComradeOblivious]

@GodFree27 I told you why you were wrong, my faith is fine, I just can't be bothered spending one of my few nights off with a youtube troll. I have MUCH better things to do. Especially when I have to inform said troll to put things into context before he spouts them off. If you had a well constructed argument I would happily converse, but you have one statement, misquoted and without context. That is why I am ending this, because frankly, it's a waste of my time and energy.

[therealjammit]

@ComradeOblivious As an atheist, I don't blame you or align you with those Westboro nutjobs. Anybody who says otherwise needs their head examined.

[ComradeOblivious]

@therealjammit You would be horrified at the amount of atheists who do though.

[therealjammit]

@ComradeOblivious I am horrified.

[ComradeOblivious]

@therealjammit I find this refreshing. Thank you.

[mcFifo2007]

funny how people are trying to justify this kind of crap. there's no need for a discussion on this video even, because rollins nailed it and if you disagree, you can always surround yourself with other homophobes/religious extremists.

[uiruu]

Old Rollins is smart, outgoing, calm, still intense but whatever, but most of all friendly. Young Rollins was just as smart, but... kind of a dick. Young Rollins would never have done this interview.

[trent8002003]

Bravo! The guy is not only funny but can reason calmly agst oppression and bigotry. BTW, if the Catholic church wants to expel anyone, expel the child molesting priests first.

[goestovalium11]

Genius.

[GrungeRockabilly]

In the picture for this video he looks like Johnny Cash :L

[PIMPZproduction]

im christian, and im sorry for all the dicks that hate on glbq, do what every you want, its really not our buisness

[globalchaos1984]

@PIMPZproduction Tell that to your bible.

[PIMPZproduction]

@globalchaos1984 dosent say in the bible that two men or women cant be with eachother, the vatican decided that, rich white men decided the fait of a whole religon

[globalchaos1984]

@PIMPZproduction You better read your bible again because your sounding ignorant of your own religion. If a man lays(has sex) with another man like he would with a woman put him to death. Its it your own bible. lol

[PIMPZproduction]

@globalchaos1984 well i completely understand why your angry and i dont want to get into a whole religon debate over the internet, but that was the old testamate and as christians we dont follow that, or at least i dont, and it has actually been mis interprated over the years. Its suppose to mean if a hetro sexual male lays down with a man in a form of prostitution or other it is wrong, but again i could give to shits because i dont read that part of the bible, so fuck everyone who hates on gays

[manhuntruler2]

Am Catholic and i love my religion. But i just dont approve on bringing people down when their Gay or Lesbian.

[goblinob]

"...with a broader brush" has to be his favorite expressions.

[kidneepunch1]

@goblinob or "in any case" or referring to something as "unimpeachable". lol long live Henry.

[antiussentiment]

Is Henry Rollins Edward de Bono's love child?

He sure knows how to think at a different angle.

[Gregasaki]

Haha, he doesn't wanna be" the square peg ramming himself into that round hole." Freudian Rollins?

[Dietpill]

Henry Rollins is the voice of truth

[deathtotheism]

The God that likes me is no God at all :).

[TheRacistsMustDie]

0:41 even more than that, there are gay Catholic religion teachers! (We had one on school).

[psycold]

I've always felt the same way as he does = why would you want to be a part of something where you aren't wanted, EXACTLY!!

[RepeaterMan]

i would laugh that henry would one day end up being the oldest person on the guiness book of world records lol

[philold09]

I'm in a "Christian" school and all the books say is that: "gays,liberals or pretty much anyone who is'nt them should die and burn in hell ... and i don't beleve that AT ALL.

[aaronscrewme]

What kind of demoralized, illogical, upside down country is this where gays and lesbians can buy children?!?!?

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH what society on planet earth has ever thrived and excelled based on demoralized standards? It's simple biology that has worked and been in place for thousands of years. To argue against this would only prove you tp be a compromised fool.

[mykmmc]

religion is for the weak minded

[newerawearer]

@mykmmc

actually it's not easy having faith when everyones against you. It takes a strong mind to stand up for what you beleive admist a sea of people who are calling you an idiot.

[mykmmc]

@newerawearer so most of the world has no faith???? thats a fail, if what you say is true then 80% of the world would be atheist, people would laugh at Israels claims of being the holy land...............no religion is not being repressed, it's the other way around, were are the atheist heads of state?

[newerawearer]

@mykmmc

Wow, im Obviously not talking about an ovrall world context. Im coming from a context where I am the only one. Im not from America, Im not right wing (republican) and I advocate rights for gays etc. However I have faith and I am persecuted for it, especially coming from a hardcore punk scene. Also My Australian Prime minister is an Athiest you halfwit. Thanks for asking questions before jumping to conclusions mate.

[mykmmc]

@newerawearer lol .............ok one head of state is a atheist and the others are not. sfw, you do know that if you spout out something on youtube you're talking on a world wide forum? any halfwit knows that................lol fail and fail

[globalchaos1984]

@newerawearer faith is blind

[Squishy876]

God damn I love Henry!

[ningilly]

@Squishy876 hell yeah me too!!!!

[ritter89]

Rollins has his head so deeply in his anus that he overlooks all the possible secular benefits of marriage (children both adopted and natural--in the case of lesbians, financial union, wills, life insurance, etc) and chooses instead to focus on the his own experiences in relationships (which were largely negative). Despite a lifetime of clean living and obsessive paranoia about drugs and addiction, Rollins still manages to look a full decade older than his chronological age

[BigBruinekool]

@ritter89 Life on the road will take a lot out of you whether you do drugs or not. He's been on the road almost nonstop since the early 80's.

[XhardcorehistorianX]

@ritter89 How is Rollins wrong about marriage ? Its a document saying you're not single anymore and your husband/wife can have these said benefits now, big woot. As for Rollins looking old, his arm muscles are more big then your head and can crush your skull in. Get your head out of your anus

[sadmachine]

where's fez?

[kai2156]

Like you

[kai2156]

Makes sense. If a group doesn't like fuck em go find a group that does like you for who you are

[SkyStudioFilms]

yarn, liberal yanky is what you are, what a statement, yarn yarn yarn, i dont care if you like turd or not ok, rollins is a sell out, PERIOD, get a life

[SkyStudioFilms]

rollins rocks live but the guy otherwise sux ass and looks like a mid age geek from ny, no one likes the 40ish wanna be yuppy to hip thing in NY and he turned into one of them when he cut his hair

sell out

[FlameSama1]

@SkyStudioFilms Because him looking like a yuppy TOTALLY detracts from his statement and makes it less valid or intelligent.

Fucking idiot.

[taylorbortnerathing]

@SkyStudioFilms and what do you define as selling out? does henry rollins have a major label contract? is he making tons of money by doing something he doesn't actually want to do? is he a part of a lot of advertising campaigns for big businesses?

i mean from your comment it looks like your accusation is based on the way that he looks, namely that he cut his hair. correct me if i got it wrong, but if that is what you think, you have to realize that appearance does not take precedent over words

[sherpa285]

Damnit! I've thought this exact thought for years, but then Hank distills it into 6 words!

Bastard beats me to the punch every time, I guess that's why he's Henry Rollins.

[horacrux]

i like that Henry is just talking about a subject and not his religion

[flippinjacky]

half these people will be praying too jesus or allah when there on there death bed. It's cool to be an athiest and rag on everybody else for believing in a creator, but when that clock is about to strike, I highly doubt you're gonna go out saying there's no god.

[yerfetus]

@flippinjacky, I will. PROUDLY.

[TheGreatIndoors1979]

Leave religion and go science & facts. It much more interesting to read about the history of Earth and the history of the Universe based on the gathering of facts by serious scientists than engage in Bible study.

[MrIMPATIENCE]

is henry rollins a homosexual?

[lokrat2]

If you are not homophobic, that doesn't mean you are automatically a homosexual. He has a girlfriend.

[dave4248]

@lokrat2, very true. Being non-homophobic doesn't make one gay, but then again having a girlfriend doesn't make you straight either. If he IS gay he should come out to show solidarity with his fellow gays.

[MachineGunnerDrummer]

@MrIMPATIENCE Are you kidding me? Have you not heard anything else the man has said? Even if he was, does it fucking matter? The man's a genius, a poet, and a hero.

[wweleah]

i say believe what u want to believe and dont shun people for not agreeing with ur opinion. Im not saying all but most Christians ive talked to r extremely judgemental and hateful toward people who arnt Christian....its a shame

[buenosdias99]

Henry is one of the great minds of our day. Someone has to carry the common sense flag, and he is the unexpected flag bearer. Rock on Mr. Rollins!

[itowedin]

He frustrates me with his greatness....The only thing more frustrating? 715 views.

[poolpig]

@itowedin I dont understand

[itowedin]

@poolpig Well, I'm saying that every time I listen to the guy speak, his points go beyond common sense into absolute genius, but still in a "why didn't I think of that" kind of way. Such great balance. The shame is, the two weeks that this brilliance has been up, only 3000 + views. But Lady Gaga? I mean come on...

[paulbuss]

@itowedin I love lady GAGA! this coming from a millitant Black Flag fan!

[itowedin]

@paulbuss Um, well done, Paul.?.? You're not going to believe me but Henry and I have actually exchanged emails comparing Ball Pythons to Lady Gaga. Henry's take was that the python was easier to clean up after. Again...Why didn't I think of that?

[paulbuss]

@itowedin lol love it! I met Rollins a few years back in Mlwaukee after a spoken word gig...he is one witty cat...a few weeks after that encounter I got my arm tatt of the MIGHTY FOUR BARS :) but still I LOVE GA GA!

[GoalieRealmUSA]

@paulbuss and also coming from a piece of shit that has the same taste in music

[dallasdoby3]

@paulbuss Lady Gaga is synthetic crap. Go listen to real music.

[paulbuss]

I do listen to "real music"....I happen to not faulter to the bullshit attitude of anything not underground isnt real....I can enjoy pop music asshole....and for the record I have my arms barred and have seen and met Rollins several times let alone know Keith Morris as well as Chuck Dukowski and oh am not a loud mouthed poser like you! FUCK OFF!

[dallasdoby3]

@paulbuss Oh you are so funny and mighty with your keyboard.

[paulbuss]

@dallasdoby3 if you want I can send my info and we can meet up?????but I doubt you have the balls to confront me....hit me back if you think Im kidding!

[dallasdoby3]

@paulbuss See thats just pathetic, "Oh you prove a valid point so now we must fight so I can assert my dominance!" Pussy.

[paulbuss]

@dallasdoby3 point is Im not hiding behind my keyboard....

[paulbuss]

@paulbuss you started it....just saying!

[wpavlik2]

Henry Rollins never fails to take a subject that seems so crazy and put a simple common sense take on it.

He's got a great point, EXCEPT those lesbian mothers were probably raised Catholic by their families and perhaps went to Catholic School and remember the great education they received (outside of the religious dogma crap) and want their child to excel academically.

The great thing would be if we supported our public schools where they gave the great education private schools did.

[SkyStudioFilms]

@wpavlik2 No offense but why blab on about liberal gay views, sounds insecure and possibly a closet case!

[gsh73la]

@SkyStudioFilms What a LOAD of shit. lol *shakes head*

[jmpms]

As a Catholic, I totally get what he's saying.

[bobbyeph]

who is he to talk on Christianity?

he wouldnt know a chruch if one was built next to his house......

but i do agree....why go to a place you arent wanted?why suffer the heartache?

life is hard enough without subjecting yourself to pain on purpose.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

Who are you to say he can't talk on Christianity?

[SkyStudioFilms]

@MaryJesusJoseph he can talk all he wants about Christianity, homosexuality pedophiles and and how much cologne some of these people he is defending wear to get rid of the smell from having anal sex, instead of been mr trendy and jumping on the talk show band wagon why not just say your liberal and gay

[MaryJesusJoseph]

@SkyStudioFilms I am liberal and gay--you wanna make something of it? You obviously have some deep issues you bigoted idiot with anal sex on the brain.

[gsh73la]

@SkyStudioFilms Why don't you finetune your brain ? Because your comments sound fucking retarded.

[HarveyRex23]

Christianity is a nice thing, but it would be nice if religions such as the fuckin Catholic Church actually practiced it.

[Bzdi138]

Yep Christianity - the pro creationist, homophobic, anti-science, pro-life religion has brought us....nothing in recent times.

[jbsgx24]

@Bzdi138 Sure it has... They've brought us the message that it's ok for adult men to rape kids. The current pope is the guy that decided to try to cover that whole scandal up. And the Cardinals ELECTED him to lead. This is another in a long list of church-perpetrated events that makes me not believe in god. Because god would be like "what the FUCK are you guys DOING?", if he were real. Even Jesus would smack the shit out of Pope Cover-up. Or at least fire his punk ass

[Steadno]

real talk
