Joe Rogan opens up about Christianity and starts going to church: "Jesus makes more sense"

Joe Rogan, the renowned podcaster and UFC commentator, has started attending church.

According to religious scholar Wesley Huff, who appeared on Rogan's podcast earlier this year, the podcaster has begun attending mass regularly.

Last week, on the Know What You Believe podcast with Michael Horton, Huff stated that he has kept in touch with Rogan after appearing on his show to discuss the Bible and Christianity.

"Joe Rogan and I have had on-and-off communication since then. I can tell you for a fact that he's attending a church, and it's a constant thing," said Huff.

Rogan "is a very curious person," he added. "I think it's good for him to communicate with me and others in his life who can influence him on these questions of reliability and verisimilitude of something like the Scripture pages, and where he should or shouldn't look for information about it."

Earlier this month, in conversation with author Cody Tucker, Rogan stated that in the face of scientific claims about the Big Bang, he found the resurrection of Jesus more credible.

"People are incredulous about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but they are convinced that the entire universe was smaller than the head of a pin and, that for some reason that no one has adequately explained to me, it instantly became everything."

"I'm sticking with Jesus. Jesus makes more sense," Rogan said.

Rogan abandons atheism

It would appear that the podcaster is making big changes in his life, as he recently declared that he has stopped drinking alcohol and that he feels "stupid for waiting so long."

"I haven't been drinking for over two months now. I'm not going back to it," Rogan declared.

Previously, the podcaster had expressed criticism of religion, saying he identified as an atheist.

"I was pretty much an atheist. I grew up; I went to Catholic school, when I was very young, for first grade. And I had a very bad experience there. And I was like, 'Religion is bullshit,'" Rogan said on an episode of his show with journalist Sebastian Junger.
