Planet Bieber update: Justin debunks the big bang theory

[TubbyTubby]

I can't comment : speechless.

I offer my apologies for sharing this but why should I be the only sufferer.

The star’s view on the origins of the universe is certainly the most earthshaking revelation in his most recent interview – but Jesus and the reality of life behind bars aren’t far from his thoughts either.

“I’m the type of dude who always wants to figure it out,” explains the What Do U Mean hitmaker. “Science makes a lot of sense,” he concedes. Or does he? “Then I start thinking — wait, the ‘big bang’. For a ‘big bang’ to create all this is more wild to think about than thinking about there being a God. Imagine putting a bunch of gold into a box, shaking up the box, and out comes a Rolex. It’s so preposterous once people start saying it.”

Consequently, Justin has granted a lengthy interview to a mag called Complex – which seems anything but – where he ruminates on Christianity. Or what we might more accurately call Christianity feat Justin Bieber. Before you get turned off, Justin is keen to differentiate himself from the more unpalatable adherents of the faith. “I think that with Christians,” he explains, “they’ve left such a bad taste in people’s mouths.”

What he is offering, it seems, is a Bieber version of that old standard. And the bravery of his position doesn’t escape him. “I think that people, as soon as they start hearing me saying I’m a Christian, they’re like, ‘Whoa, Justin, back up, take a step back.’ Also, I do not want to shove this down anyone’s throat. I just wanna honestly live like Jesus. Not be Jesus — I could never — I don’t want that to come across weird.”

You never could, Justin. Anyone who can tour the Anne Frank Museum and write in the guest book “Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a Belieber” could never come across weird.

In a sense, Justin is disestablishing himself – and perhaps his Beliebers, too. “Like I said,” reasons Justin. “You don’t need to go to church to be a Christian. If you go to Taco Bell, that doesn’t make you a taco.”

Oh dear. Critical thinking not his strong suit then.

There's that phrase again, live like Jesus.

I wonder in what way he is remotely living like Jesus. He is living like he assumes Jesus is like, in other words himself. He is living like himself.

It's very simple. Justin Bleeble is a poe and far smarter than you or I (or possibly anyone) can appreciate.

He was probably referring to that second time Jesus was alive: a short meteoric rise to the stars after being crucified in the public eye.

Bieber: Imagine putting a bunch of gold into a box, shaking up the box, and out comes a Rolex. It’s so preposterous once people start saying it.

It is. That's why I usually discourage morons from giving interviews, just in case they feel the need to expose their idiocy for general consumption.

Bieber: You don’t need to go to church to be a Christian. If you go to Taco Bell, that doesn’t make you a taco.

There's some air-tight logic, to which I would add that having some hits with prepubescent girls doesn't make you an artist or a musician. However, it might make you a disposable commodity like a fast food taco.

What a douche. It might be time to bring back crucifixion.

I've gained a new respect for Mariana Hyde. That was some gold standard sarcasm.

This is my favourite Bieber moment. He really gave this scene his all:

Should I be concerned over what an industrial boy product thinks?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Well if there's one thing that Beiber is, it's a 'good' Christian, what with the drugs, the fights, the women, and being Justin Beiber.

Do I smell a schism brewing ?
