Cuz he’s funny, he’s a Bahá’í, his son’s name is Walter, his wife is Holiday, and he appears to manage to balance his fame with moderation, grace, humility and, of course, humor. What’s not to like?
In a recent interview originally for US Bahá’í News, reprinted with permission from Bahá’í World News Service, Wilson said, “I like being a Baha’i who has an out-there sense of humor. God gives us talents and faculties, and making people laugh is one of mine. I don’t have to be digging latrines in Honduras to serve humanity.”
“When you grow up with a spiritual foundation that asks you to be conscious of the fact that all races are created equal,” Wilson said in the interview, “that men and women are equal and that all religions worship the same (God), it helps you see the world as one family and not get lost in the traps of political, social, and economic belief systems that can lead you astray. I always think of myself as a world citizen. It’s a powerful thing.”
Hi, Heather. Love your comment about Rainn. Would like to point out that U.S. Baha’i News should get credit for that wonderful interview. Baha’i World News Service simply reprinted the interview, with a new introduction for international readers who may not be familiar with Rainn.
