The two are demonstrably separate phenomena. And also? We (meaning, modern humans) are quick to ascribe notions of "universal morality" to anything that confirms and promotes our own biases, no matter how distant we are from the source material culturally.

Many people don’t know this about Mr. Colbert… Great interview… Notice the date…On September 11, 1974, Colbert’s father and two brothers nearest in age, Paul and Peter, were passengers on a plane making a short flight from Charleston to Charlotte, North Carolina. Eastern Air Lines Flight 212, operating on a small DC-9 plane, had 82 people on board and seemed to be making a routine approach towards Douglas Municipal Airport. The flight never made it to Douglas, crashing three miles shy of its intended runway on a hillside covered with cornfields.

never thought I'd see Stephen singing a song of my favorite band in the world, yet here we are.

I like this side of him. A very funny, sharp witted dude, for sure. Thanks for the video!

During the time I was studying music with a Lutheran music director at a Lutheran church, I saw the movie "The Last Temptation of Christ," a movie that portrayed Jesus as someone who was truly believable as a human. The church's Lutheran minister asked me about the movie, and I told him, "Had I seen it as a child, I'd be a Christian to this day." That was the first thought in my head as I came to fully recognize Stephen's deep humaneness thanks to this interview. There are numerous versions and interpretations of the Bible; Issac Asimov's is one of the most objective. I look forward to the day someone writes an interpreted version from a Stephen Colbert perspective.

For him to choose the sentence that sums up his philosophy of life "Don't be a dick" says so so SOOOO much about him. Clearly he is just as humble and pleasant as he appears to be on television. I doubt someone... who is a dick, or narcissist, or whatever... would ever come up with that as their sentence to describe their philosophy of life. In fact, those people are the kinds of people who say "you gotta put other people down to bring yourself up"

All of the late night comedy shows helped but Colbert in particular got me through the last 5 years of idiocy.

Loved this! Love him!

So great. Also, the girl who helped me with my phone at the shop yesterday had "I'm enough" tattooed on her arm. I think the universe is speaking to me.
