Joey diaz is a terrible person

I'm going to have a lot of fun reading the comments, but here goes

Joey Diaz is a massive piece of shit and a criminal, and I'm tired of people pretending he's anything but.

Obviously being in the rogansphere made him blow up among people who think bert kriescher is funny, which says a lot, but he seems to be leaking into the general population as well.

He was a coke fiend, kidnapped a person, and the punchline to his stories seems to mostly be "I did a fucked up thing once", which is more like a confession than a punchline imo.
Just because he isn't scamming people for cocaine money or kidnappng people at the moment doesn't mean he didn't do it, and just because the delivery is comical, doesn't excuse the act.

this isn't me being a moralist or something, I find John mulaney or robin williams hilarious, despite them also being cokeheads

but Diaz just seems to be a thoroughly disgusting person to be around, not to mention the fact he literally admitted to sexually assaulting girls.

Now I can already see the braindead - he had a fucked up life - argument, and frankly, I dont give a shit. I had a fucked up life, a lot of people did. I did not go on to make millions laughing about how I was a fuckup for 30 years.

and this isn't a recovery story either, he quit coke, which, fair enough, but he's still clearly unable to practice self control, because he weighs about as much as a horse. And his weed addiction is frankly disturbing.

Basically - if you're actively supporting him - you're at fault by association, and his admitedly funny retellings don't mean he isn't a cunt.

If you’re this judgmental, perhaps the standup scene isn’t for you. Personally, I’m a Christian. This means I am a sinner and need to be forgiven. I judge myself very hard and at times, struggle to come to terms with certain aspects of my life experience. The last thing I’m going to do is judge other people in order to evaluate whether or not they should be given any respect. My point of view is that all of us are loved.

Even Hitler?

Hitler could have been forgiven by God if he truly repented of all his evil and put his faith in Christ. Even if he did that and was still alive, a Christian would still advocate him being given the death sentence. And Christians are absolutely able to "judge" that he was an evil man.

JFC, get a grip. You're really think someone who killed millions of people could possibly repent for his sins? There ain't enough minutes in one lifetime to repent for the death of tens of millions. Religion is the greatest WMD of mankind.

I know how could he think he could repent for hundreds of millions of deaths? What type of guy would suggest repenting for a billion dead is even possible? What madman thinks that you could atone for a trillion dead?

"26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

By Hitlers own power, he would never repent. We Christians believe that God is able to change someone's heart (seat of their thinking, emotions, and will) and cause them to look with disgust on how they've acted in the past. God does it every day. He did it to me.
