Do you honestly think that if Ben took that stuff as "serious", that they would be friends? ...it's a comedy duo!!! nothing more.

Ben wasn't there ... I don't know what you saw .. if it was in the taskroom slagging Ben off and ending up with that remark, then you are not being honest ... it wasn't ambiguous .. he was serious !
Yes, I think Ben would still be his friend for two reasons:
Ben is much too nice for his own good.
Ben has more Christian goodness than Dave could ever even aspire to.
Comedy duo? Only to Bens face, on his own Dave used Ben as his fallguy/stooge ... thats exactly what he's doing now on LF!
