when i think of Colbert, i think of an interview he gave to GQ when he first took over The Late Show, and had this to say about losing his father and brothers in a plane crash. www.gq.com/story/stephe...

“It was a very healthy reciprocal acceptance of suffering,” he said. “Which does not mean being defeated by suffering. Acceptance is not defeat. Acceptance is just awareness.” He smiled in anticipation of the callback: “ ‘You gotta learn to love the bomb,’ ” he said. “Boy, did I have a bomb when I was 10. That was quite an explosion. And I learned to love it. So that's why. Maybe, I don't know. That might be why you don't see me as someone angry and working out my demons onstage. It's that I love the thing that I most wish had not happened.” I love the thing that I most wish had not happened. I asked him if he could help me understand that better, and he described a letter from Tolkien in response to a priest who had questioned whether Tolkien's mythos was sufficiently doctrinaire, since it treated death not as a punishment for the sin of the fall but as a gift. “Tolkien says, in a letter back: ‘What punishments of God are not gifts?’ ” Colbert knocked his knuckles on the table. “ ‘What punishments of God are not gifts?’ ” he said again. His eyes were filled with tears. “So it would be ungrateful not to take everything with gratitude. It doesn't mean you want it. I can hold both of those ideas in my head.”

That’s a pretty bizarre take. The far more likely answer is that either there is no god, or he is indifferent to the affairs of mankind. EVERYTHING (especially suffering, loss, and evil) makes far more sense with that presumption.

It's a concept deeply embedded in Tolkien's work. From the Silmarillion: "...'For the price could be no other. Thus even as Eru spoke to us shall beauty not before conceived be brought into Eä, and evil yet be good to have been.’ " Something can be not good, but ~good to have been~.

He explains Catholicism well. At least a certain kind. What you learn from Catholic education (of a certain kind) is you're mortal and can't be truly sure of much, but if you infuse your actions with love of others, and avoid hate you usually go less wrong if you turn out to be off on specifics.

Colbert reaches levels no other American program can when he talks about faith (incl philosophy), family (love & loss), literature, and nerd-dom. They haven't capitalized on that as much as they could (he's just a pretty good day-to-day interviewer of celebs). Maybe his next move can focus on that.

This explains his love of Tolkien. Those books must have helped him process his grief.

That’s crazy. He seems like a sincerely decent guy, but those are the words of a deeply delusional person.

Seems like a cult. Why must god always get a pass on so much bad and suffering? I hope he finds a new show and it’s more serious, less hammy.

His interview with Anderson Cooper dwelled on this; it was beautiful to hear. Cooper had experienced his own childhood losses and was moved to tears. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB46...

I've never particularly been a Colbert fan. Like, his comedy is fine and he seems like a nice person, but I never watched his shows. But anytime I read/hear him talking about his faith, it's always uncommonly thoughtful.

I placed an infant into adoption when I was in high school. That man is now 28 and a beautiful person in my life. I can simultaneously wish more than anything that I did not carry that pregnancy to term and wish more than anything for him to have a wonderful life.

I have to sit with this concept for a while; getting past the tragedy and finding profound enlightenment on the other side.

More prosaically the crash eventually led to the “sterile cockpit rule” (no bullshitting in the cockpit below 10,000 feet) which has probably saved a lot of lives admiralcloudberg.medium.com/critical-con...

When I think of Colbert, it's the Press dinner where he roasted the F out of Bush Jr.
