<\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Real Reason Humans Exist<\/i><\/span><\/h2>\nWelcome to the New America. Dubbed \u2018God\u2019s Comic\u2019 by the New Yorker, for 16-years, Brad Stine has been the comedic trailblazer of politically incorrect, Christian and Conservative comedy. His new show, \u2018Brad Stine Has Issues\u2019, covers cultural issues with his signature brand of comedic sarcasm and satire with insight that will be appreciated by everyone who loves laughter, liberty, and the freedom to tell the truth without fear.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\nI believe that laughter is a gift from God. I do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIf I were to ask you, \u201cWhy are you here?\u201d You would say, \u201cI\u2019m here to laugh.\u201d Because laughter feels good. Why? Because it allows you to experience something that is unique to humans\u00a0 \u2013 JOY \u2013 a transcendent idea outside of molecular structure that is given to us by God, who I believe in, who I believe has constantly given us echoes in shadows that He\u2019s not only real, but that human beings are His crowning achievement! And He\u2019s always given us these little clues to prove it\u2019s true, and laughter is one of them. Laughter is one of them. You know how I know that? Because, in the entire universe, the only thing that laughs is people. It\u2019s just ours. The sun doesn\u2019t laugh. Molecules don\u2019t laugh. Animals don\u2019t laugh. That\u2019s why we eat them \u2013 if you frown, you\u2019re going down. That\u2019s just the deal. We had to decide who was going to be eaten and who wasn\u2019t; and in the beginning, we got along \u2013 men and animals got along \u2013 everything was good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCow would get up in the morning, \u201cWhat are we gonna do today, Adam? Ping pong? Okay. I do have a little problem with that paddle, though. But I\u2019ll try.\u201d Because he had a hoof, and so it was rough for him to deal. That\u2019s why Adam dominated cow in the battle department \u2013 cow couldn\u2019t grip anything. He didn\u2019t know he was a stupid cow. \u201cWhy does this keep slipping out, Adam?\u201d \u201cBecause you\u2019re a stupid cow!\u201d But, it didn\u2019t matter. They were getting along.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThen, suddenly, sin came into the world and animals became meat! That had to be confusing for the animals, don\u2019t you think? Just yesterday, they were having fun.<\/span><\/p>\nCow gets up, \u201cWhat are you gonna do today?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAdam replies, \u201cNew game: Butcher Shop.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cHow do you play? What\u2019s the shotgun for, Adam?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nDo you actually believe in those archaic ideas of sin and God? I do. Indeed I do. Because that\u2019s what we\u2019re here for. You thought it was for laughter? No. It\u2019s for something else. Why are we here, as humans? That\u2019s really the ultimate question, isn\u2019t it? Why are we here? We are going to find that answer out by looking at the most powerful three-letter word in the history of human beings: God.<\/span><\/p>\nSupport my ministry at <\/i><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/BradStine\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Patreon.com\/BradStine<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\nBe sure to subscribe to<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCfYyI1TZPbA0XfP0g8T0Maw\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> Brad Stine Has Issues\u2019 YouTube Channel<\/span><\/i><\/a> so that you don\u2019t miss a moment of Brad\u2019s shenanigans both in front of and behind the scenes!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nCheck in with <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/christianpodcastcentral.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Christian Podcast Central<\/span><\/i><\/a> for more incredible content like this every day!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Laughter allows us to experience something that is unique to humans – JOY.
