I don't think you realize that he's a professional comedian (although I'm not particularly fond of him).

Yes, he makes fun of them...that's very typical for comedians.

Based on comments he's made I think his comedy reflects his real views. I'm sure he has no respect for animals or anyone who does, nor anyone who doesn't agree with his view. He's a king size D-bag in my book.

I think that you mis-characterize the routine. I listened to it and his complaint was not with being a vegan or with veganism in general, rather it was with the holier than thou attitude held by some vegans (apparently including his children) toward those who are not vegans.

The routine fails because it isn't particularly funny at any point, not because he is expressing a "hatred of vegans."

I agree. I actually thought it was rather tame...and you're right, not particularly funny.

You guys miss his real message. I doubt anyone in his family are vegans, he's just bs'ing to push his agenda - that it's just fine and real christian to treat animals as nothing more than meat. The more I look into this guy's videos the more I hate him, actually.

I think you've lost perspective on this.

Jesus Christ, Woody Guthrie

This song was made in New York City
Of rich man and preachers, and slaves
If Jesus was to preach like He preached in Galillee
They would lay Jesus Christ in His grave

I think the latest on Steve Harvey is that he adopted Beyonce's veganism and it changed his life. If you search, there's tons of news and videos about it. Steve Harvey came into public view by playing a good father figure in some films. Why would anyone hate him? If you're going to indulge in hatred, pick someone who hasn't anything to offer and offers contributions of the negative sort, not some comic.

This isn't 'comedy':
Quote:
Emmy Award-winning TV host and best-selling author Steve Harvey advises women not to date atheists because you don’t know where the man’s “moral barometer” is, and says that as far as someone not believing in God, “well, then, to me you’re an idiot.”

Harvey, who also hosts a radio show and started his career in stand-up comedy, went on to say that Darwinism is essentially nonsense because he doesn’t think the universe “spun out of a gastrous ball and then all of a sudden we were evolved from monkeys.” If that were true, he says, then “why we still got monkeys?”
https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/michael...e-you-re-idiot

To sum up, Harvey idiotically thinks that morality is impossible without God, he idiotically thinks that everything 'spun out of a gastrous ball' (whatever that even means), and he idiotically thinks that speciation necessitates the extinction of all ancestral species (of course he's too big of an idiot to even comprehend what he is claiming in those terms).

He's a monumentally ignorant ass. I don't hate him, but I do have nothing but complete and total contempt for him.
