“He’s a great guy,” said Foster. “And he goes, ‘I pray five times a day. It really helps me. And it makes me realize and understand that what I’m going through is part of his plan. It’s part of his plan.’”
“Yeah,” said Rogan. “If you really do believe that, it definitely will help you.”
“I haven’t got there,” Kisin said, “but I have started going to church every now and again.”
When Rogan asked if Kisin enjoyed church, Kisin said, “I love it.”
“I do, too,” said Rogan. “It’s a bunch of people that are going to try to make their lives better. They’re trying to be a better person…they read and analyze passages in the Bible.”
“I’m really interested in what these people [in the Bible] were trying to say,” said Rogan, “because I don’t think it’s nothing.”

While some atheists minimize Christianity as “a fairy tale,” Rogan disagrees with that perspective. “It’s a confusing history because it was a long time ago,” he said. “And it’s people telling things in an oral tradition, then writing things down in a language that you don’t understand, in the context of a culture that you don’t understand.”
“And I think there’s something to what they’re saying. I think there’s a reason why they all have a flood myth. I think there’s a reason they all have a very similar story of catastrophic floods and chaos,” Rogan continued. “And then that jives with what geologists are finding and what these people are finding that are exploring the Younger Dryas Impact Theory.”
“There’s physical evidence of this happening,” he said. “And I think that’s what they’re trying to say in these stories. I just think it’s so confusing.”
Rogan continued talking about how distant we are from cultures that existed thousands of years ago and hypothesized what it must have been like for someone to have been “writing things down on animal skins frantically and hiding them in clay jars in Qumran,” he said, referring to the Dead Sea Scrolls, “and like, ‘I hope somebody finds this someday.’ And then thousands of years later, someone does.”
