Quote of the Day: Desposyni: Stephen Colbert on Pain

Here is a great post that showed up in my feed today that quotes an interview on Stephen Colbert

There's some wisdom here. From a big NYT profile of the TV host:

In 1974, when Colbert was 10, his father, a doctor, and his brothers Peter and Paul, the two closest to him in age, died in a plane crash while flying to a prep school in New England. “There’s a common explanation that profound sadness leads to someone’s becoming a comedian, but I’m not sure that’s a proven equation in my case,” he told me. “I’m not bitter about what happened to me as a child, and my mother was instrumental in keeping me from being so.” He added, in a tone so humble and sincere that his character would never have used it: “She taught me to be grateful for my life regardless of what that entailed, and that’s directly related to the image of Christ on the cross and the example of sacrifice that he gave us. What she taught me is that the deliverance God offers you from pain is not no pain — it’s that the pain is actually a gift. What’s the option? God doesn’t really give you another choice.”

Yup, much Wisdom

THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Thus saith Colbert...

I realize that Colbert is mocking conservative news talk shows. But this is very funny. He points out that both sides of the debate of whether or not it is lawful for a cross to be memorializing dead veterans of WWI on federal land. Atheistic Liberals are silly because the cross has been there for 70 years so why should any anyone be offended now. Justice Scalia's defense for keeping it is silly because now saying that the cross is just a symbol for the dead, robs it of any significance and is offensive.

Bonus: Colbert recites nearly the whole Apostolic Creed!

Cobert vs Dawkins

I've come across a couple of apperances of Richard Dawkins on the S

tephen Cobert show.  They are hilarious and although Dawkins is taking the ridicule good-naturedly, I've got to admit that I think he was skewered. Some of Cobert points are valid in my opinion.
