“ Ultimately Hicks is a comedian and it’s important not to lose sight of that and turn him into something he wasn’t, like the world has managed to do with Christ.

Remember too that Jesus had an extra year on Hicks and did most of his best work in those last twelve months, so it’s not fair to compare them.
