I'm very vocal about my belief that all religion is garbage. Most of my friends are religious or at least spiritual. These are people I like and I know are intelligent. It's this thing that I carry around. I know I'd be a better person if I was fairer, but it's at the core of who I am and what I believe.
I went to a bunch of marches in New York and Washington, and you know I believe in the cause, but to march with those people takes a lot of compromise on my end.
I was in Antwerp - which, I had about 20 shows left at that point - and a guy said, "That's Dave Attell's." Also, Antwerp was my smallest audience, so the guy was right there. I was like, "What?" He said, "Dave Attell does a bit about, 'Why are there luggage stores in the airport?'" I had never seen that, and I would never ever, ever, ever - please believe me - I would never lift material from somebody ever, and certainly not knowingly.
I was born Jewish, but I am an atheist. I dont believe in God.
You have to have some level of attachment, you can still have passion and believe but it has to be softened somewhat.
I do believe that on a whole, women are definitely smarter than men...I also believe that dogs are smarter than women. No? That one, you don't believe it? You believe that I didn't do a series of tests? You are right to not believe it, because I'm going to go ahead and admit that I do not believe what I just said, it was what's described as a 'joke.' Um, I'll be telling a bunch of them here tonight.
Religion triggers a lot of emotions in me, most of which stem from being raised Jewish in a very Baptist community in the South. I didn't believe any of it from an early age - the clubby quality of whatever religion or church you belonged to, Judaism included. It just struck me as foolish.
We mostly get together and have fun. It's a great place to play music with a small group of nice people.
The second piece of news is something that I would imagine most people have heard about by now. Arrested Development got picked up for a third season.
Originally they wanted me to be Buster but I really like the Tobias part.
At that point, we worked to contain the fire from the outside.
We knew Eric could be an excellent player and he is proving that this year, ... He really has added to the excellent play from the rest of the team this season.
There are a lot of reasons for that. For one, we have good light here.
It's not an issue per say, but I would urge people to help create an atmosphere where they don't see this complete ideological divide.
