Actor and comedian Tim Allen told fellow comedian and political commentator Bill Maher that he (Allen) is studying the Apostle Paul’s teaching that the law reveals our sin. Allen joined Maher on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast, where the two also discussed Jesus and early Christianity.
Paul “said something very intuitive that I’m still studying because he says law was basically invented to develop sin,” said Allen. “Without law, you don’t know what sinful is. So, law was basically just to give you guardrails of what the world is.”
Allen contrasted that view with the study of philosophy, saying, “What you’re going to find is the cycle of ignorance with philosophy. And that’s where I’ve been in the last 20 years. Philosophy gets run in these circles. It can’t explain anything really.”
