Here comes a catholic
Can you see anything offensive in that?
“This’ll be the end of Aaron’s…”
“C.K. kept talking about morality and punishment throughout the set, but never connected the dots to his own behavior. He belittled the idea that parents should teach their kids the difference between right and wrong. He tells his kids there are no bad words, you just have to think hard about who you’re saying them to. He talked about convicted murderers and how admission of guilt plays into sentencing. He observed how everyone in hell is equally miserable, and Hitler shares real estate with people who committed minor sins. He doesn’t believe in God (according to “Sincerely”), but mentioned his Catholic upbringing and ended the set by literally reading from a Bible. The obscure verse was about Jesus making a fig tree wither and die out of spite because it wouldn’t bear fruit.
“You want fruit out of season? Go to Whole Foods, you f—king J-w,” he said.
If you’re like me, that line probably made you laugh, but it didn’t make you smile.”
Dan Gentile
