“Today, I am reminded of what Dr. M. Scott Peck told me more than 30 years ago: At 40, you feel like you can conquer the world and there is a feeling that nothing can stop you. But at 60, you realize the true fragility of life and temporariness of it all.”

“A humbling knowledge that there really is a time limit on all things and that God’s design, though perfect, is precious far beyond its brevity.”

The comedian spoke about the importance of time in human life and encouraged his followers to do the same. “If you’re reading this right now, you still have time! Use it wisely, but also foolishly! But use it.”

The comedian shared this brave and beautiful message:

“I’ll tell you this. If there is such a thing as kindness, empathy, compassion, love… it is because you have found it in other people. As my dear friend Norm MacDonald said, “We are a part of this universe. In fact, we are just a part of it. So how much better the universe itself would be if we had kindness and love.”

“For atheists, God loves you too. The mistake you make is to think that the universe is a stupid thing that simply just bumps into things and expands ignorantly and without reason or intelligence. And in somehow, we human beings, with our intelligence, are just some kind of ‘freak’ universal accident.”

“To you, I say this, if there is such a thing as kindness, empathy, compassion, and love…it is because you found it in other people. And as my dear friend Norm Macdonald once said, ‘We are part of this universe, indeed a mere fraction of it, so if we have kindness and love, how much more the universe itself.'”

Schneider ended his message with surprising news. He decided to accept his God in his own life and convert to Catholicism.

“Finally, as a new convert to Catholicism, I apologize for Christ’s unforgiveness toward my colleagues. “I’m very angry at the people who hurt so many people by closing schools, even closing the world and forcing others to do things against their will,” the comedian said in response to criticism of the restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. talked about it. .
