Perhaps you are not really aware of Brand's journey? And his activities in recent years?
If he shares his journey with a few million in his audience, going through or sharing his transformation together with them, how is that anything other than consistent?
He has def. gone through a transformation, and that's not just his Christian / faith journey. Starting out definitely leftish-centrist in his political outlook, he has awakened like many and gone through a process, very publicly, of recognizing Trump, recognizing the evil of the Cabal, and so many other key points of the Great Awakening.
Taking the plunge is a big deal, so why should he suddenly cut his entire following and audience out of the picture for this event/milestone?
In my case, I come from a deep faith background, but was raised in a family that essentially became exactly what would have been Brand's traditional base: leftist, anti or non-religious, wokish and wary of the foibles on the right: corporatism, hawkish warmongering, etc.
I know how amazing it has been watching Brand wake up and reach an audience that DJT or almost everyone on 'the right' or conservative' could never reach. The fact that he has undergone personal transformation both externally in his awareness and internally (spiritually) is very significant from my view, knowing how hard it is to reach those in the camp he originally had has his audience.
I almost did that when I was baptized in a river, by folks I’ve never met before. I was nervous and didn’t want to call family or friends. Except God had different plans. I felt the weight of my decision making and could feel I was wrong in doing so. So I made the first call, then the second. Next thing I know I had family and friends coming from everywhere. It’s not just about the person. Getting baptized can spark something deep into another one’s soul. This is something that should be seen, everyday by people. Our love for Christ should never be a private thing. Show the world how you feel, if you want to. Others want what we have. They sometime just need to see it. And feel that cool water on their feet.
I’d walk hand and hand with anyone in this world, down to the river. And I mean anyone.
That's what a normal person does, yes. If you have a platform and a modicum of celebrity and you are trying to change opinions, why not talk about it a lot? At least he's converting to Christianity and not spewing Satanic lyrics while flying around on a fucking jet telling people to stop polluting the world.
His whole world is having a platform. The problem with conservatives is that we haven't spent decades using those platforms to effect change.
By using his platform, he is doing just that. He isn't doing it quietly, he isn't doing it privately. He is standing up and inviting others to follow him, that it is okay, that they are not alone no matter what the other side tries to say.
If we don't ever let people change for the better and improve themselves, and if we don't allow them to carry others with them, then we may as well give up now because we will not win with the same strategies that have been losing this country and our values for years.
I admire his desire to change for the better.
IMO ---- he is just attention whoring.
(he IS an attention whore)
Possible, or coming to Christ? God can sort it out
I agree, that is for El-Elyon to know.
Time will tell ------ I'm not holding my breath.
The talk-about-it to do-it ratio is too high.
If he really wanted to do it ------ he would just do it and let us find out about it later.

FWIW, I think your take is extremely ungenerous.
