Watch: Joe Rogan Acknowledges God’s Power in Spiritual Fight Against Evil

Podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan appears to be acknowledging the power of God and recognizing sides must be taken in the spiritual battle between good and evil.

In a video going viral on social media, Rogan told NFL star quarterback Aaron Rodgers that as the times get crazier, people have to depend on religion to provide a moral compass in their lives.

“I think as time rolls on people are going to understand the need to have some sort of divine structure to things, some sort of belief in the sanctity of love and of truth, and a lot of that comes from religion,” Rogan told Rodgers.

The podcast host went on to point out religion provides a good moral compass for people to “live a just and righteous life,” and said those who reject religion as superstition do so at their own peril.

“And unfortunately a lot of very intelligent people, they dismiss all the positive aspects of religion because they think that the stories are mere superstitious fairy tales that, you know, they have no place in this modern world, and we’re inherently good and your ethics are based on your own moral compass and we all have one — and that’s not necessarily true,” he said.

“We need Jesus …I think for real,” Rogan added. “Like if you came back now it would be great. Like Jesus, if you’re thinking about coming back, right now’s a good time pretty soon. Now’s a good time.”

Rogan’s comments appear to reveal an evolving perspective on his previous views which seemed to prioritize spirituality over organized religion.
