Joe Rogan - What's the Difference Between a Cult and a Religion?

Moses being on DMT just might be the most Joe Rogan topic ever

Less than 2 minutes in and immediately moses was on DMT. This is the best podcast ever

"anybody with power is gonna be in danger of abusing it...." Now that is the best phrase I will take to heart forever

i have mad respect for how they can have an ACTUAL DISCUSSION on completely contrasting viewpoints... if only this type of mutual respect was more commonplace between two parties... you can't even disagree with someone nowadays without going into extreme territories

"When your cult gets called a religion... You've made it"

This is a perfect example of 2 adults, having a discussion on something they have different views on, but are able to discuss them, be open minded, and actually listen to each other.

It's when you watch these older videos that you realize how much joe has improved in letting others talk and just listen

The more I listen to Brett the more I realize that Eric is the smart one in the family. Joe's 100% right about this. Brent didn't even consider the cognitive dissonance that comes into play when a society gets brainwashed for generations.

Man I thought the Rogan DMT memes were getting old and my man comes out with “Moses was on DMT and created Judaism”

When he called the pope some dude who dresses like a wizard I lost it 🤣🤣🤣

I'm with Rogan on this: When a Cult gets really big we call it a Religion, but they're pretty much the same.

Ahhh Joe, born and raised Mormon, and I'm right there with you about all religions being cults. I looked up cult and it's a group of people with similar belief or behavior. Like the " Red Hat Ladies or the girl scouts". Mostly harmless, as Douglas Addams liked to say. I would like the reference for Mormons get a planet 70 years around the Mormon church and I've never heard that one anywhere except GoogleGossip. Along with a lot of equally funny ideas that other lifelong Mormons never heard of either. I love your podcast. Live long and keep the conversations growing.

It's entirely possible a buddy of mine did DMT while eating elk meat. Pull that up Jamie.

Bret: “So you’ve done some hallucinogens” Joe: “Oh yeah”

When Bret said he didn't know if Scientology was a cult, I almost bailed on the entire clip🤡

i think they’re the same thing. by definition a religion is a cult but just because it’s a cult doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. there’s a stigma to that word that if you call something a cult it automatically means people gathering around in black robes and sacrificing babies to the dark lord. a cult just means a group of people who worship something/someone it doesn’t always have to be malicious.

listening to people not consistently interrupting each other is so refreshing

Joe’s kid’s first words: D-d-d-DMT is produced in the pineal gland

The opening bit for Joe here absolutely killed me 😂😂😂

as many others have noted, it is hard not to appreciate Rogan’s thoughtfulness and patience.
