Atheism is a religion istelf but they are too dumb to realize it. WHat kind of person goes around telling people God doesn't exist. Why would you preach agaisnt something you don't believe exists? The truth is that these people are scared, and they seek comfort being among other faithless people like them. Eventually God will cancel Hell if nobody believes in Him, that would juts be a failed expriment and all sinners will be allowed back in Eden. Deep down that's hat they think, they're terrified of Hell.
I believe that unicorns and dragons don't exist. Is that a religion too? No? Moron.
Kevin Reyes
... Oh, I thought this was a Kore-eda thread.
Easton Martinez
And rightly so, people who believe in God or god's should be mocked in the same way tin foil hat wearers are, grow up and stop pretending in sky daddy's.
This. It literally ticks all the prerequisites of a religion. >A set of core beliefs that go beyond "I don't believe in god" >Actual spokepersons and evangelists >organizations promoting disbelief >have to read specific books in order to understand atheism >dozens of flavors of atheism if you don't agree with the one you begin with
Jose Long
I think you completely missed his point. Do you go around telling people that you believe that unicorns and dragons exist and call other people uneducated dumb, backwards, etc?
Adam Young
I agree. If reLIEgion didn't exist, we would live in a futuristic utopia where people don't work since we have machines for that and smoke weed all day and can date sweet sweet underage pussy and I wouldn't be a virgin like I am right now.

Zachary Morales
Every thing you wrote is wrong. Atheism is not a religion. You don't need to take a leap of faith to NOT believe in fairy tales. There are no churches or rules. You don't have to read books to understand atheism. You're completely full of shit or tragically misinformed. You're also a samefag but I forgive you.
Connor Baker
A real atheist is someone who destroys religion wherever it is. He destroys false belief, is master of his own fate, is educated, a snappy dresser and a good flirt and lover. Atheists are also good people and charitable, wise and experienced. They are literally nice guys, and if you meet someone who is good and claims he believes in god, chances are he is a atheist that hides from the persecution of unbelievers, as atheistic pogroms still happen in first world countries.

They honestly couldn't put the effort to go out to a beach and take a photo for the cover of his show? I hate that every show's cover is some shitty photoshop. It's so empty.
Honestly, yeah. People don't ask me often, mainly because I don't talk to people much but even then it's even more rare, but when the subject comes up I usually extol my belief that there is Active and Passive Atheism and Theism. Active Atheists being the ones what go around talking about it all the time, and Passive ones being those, like me, who could care less about anything, in a completely neutral to optimistic manner. All Active Atheists I've seen on tv are absolute pessimists, no exception.
But even then, I'm not fully atheistic because I still believe in an afterlife, because like everyone else I'm not scared of dying so much as nonexistence. I spend a lot of my time thinking about every single person who ever died living in a giant city together, like a mirror Earth but all one continent that's just a huge suburb, and then there's another continent that's just beaches and countryside where you'd go when you're tired of the city. Hogwash, sure, but comforting. More comforting than pretending the world is a simulation you can put skyrim mods on, or that you're internet famous, or an immortal who can clone themself and start a business of taking the piss in the 1800s only for it to become as big as Amazon. The usual ego fantasies. But that's all they are, fantasy. Active Atheism is just Ego.

Kayden Martin
It's not a bad setup doing a show based in the afterlife or where every desire of a person can be granted. It results in the story becoming based around the person's relationships with others and the inner conflicts they have due to their pasts.

Nice cope. Atheism is as much a religion as any. You need to have blind faith in materialism to be an atheist. Materialism is your god, and he offers absolutely nothing.

Ricky can't resist shitting on religious people in every show.
The fact that he went back to the Brent character (without Merchant), and basically just remade the Xmas specials, speaks volumes at how creatively bankrupt he is without him

God exists outside of time (higher dimensions). That may seem fantastical, but again, that fantastical is infinitely more plausible than the universe suddenly existing.
Well its all the same thing. Intelligent design, God, prime mover. Lower dimension intelligence requires higher dimension intelligence.
Both athiests and most Christians believe that the universe was formed during the big bang around 14 billion years ago. The difference between them is that Christians have their god to point to as to why this happened. Athiests don't have any reason.
Combined with the theory that the universe is expanding so fast that by the time it reaches entropy there is NO WAY it will ever contract to "bang" again... just how and why the fuck did it come to be in the first place?
I don't have the answer. But at least the Christians have AN answer.
Jace Morgan
> But at least the Christians have AN answer. Technically it's a hypothesis since it can't be proved via the scientific method.
I don't think Gervais is disliked because he's an atheist, no one cares whether or not you believe in God. He's annoying to a lot of people because it's what defines his whole public persona and instead of just leaving it at "Okay, I'm an atheist" he continues to push it down the throat of every individual ever.
This. There's ways to be a dick or not a dick, regardless of what you believe.
Carl Sagan and CS Lewis - athiest not a dick and Christian not a dick.
Ricky Gervais and door knocking Mormons - athiest dick and Christian dicks.
Nathan Morgan
an answer is merely a response to a question. it doesn't matter if it's conclusive or incorrect or foolish or misguided. It's still an answer.
Ayden Edwards
Yeah, I think this dude is confusing scientifically meaningful terms like "hypothesis" with normal english.
Jackson Miller
Depends on how you define it and the standard of conscious thought you apply it to.
Isaac Powell
>how can your consciousness just cease to be? It happens every night when you go to sleep. There are long periods when you aren't dreaming and you aren't even aware of your own existence.
Parker Green
what i do is just like you know you know what i mean haha
>athiest dick and Christian dicks. Muh centrism but at least you're getting closer to actual thought.
There is an absolute right answer to the question of whether a god exists and its perfectly fine for either side to debate the question until somebody comes up with proof. Life is struggle. There's nothing wrong with taking a side as long as you are willing to abandon it if the truth refutes your side.
Neither side is perfect. Atheists will tell you that trannies are normal and men can be women if they want and religious people think the Earth is way younger than it is. They both have dogma that is fucking stupid. The only answer is to seek out truth no matter what it means for any particular ideology or belief, even if you will never find the answers. It also means the truth will likely swing more in one extreme than the other, or a completely different 3rd position altogether.
If you aren't hated by religious people and atheists alike, you're probably not seeking out the truth, because both of them would be extremely mad at you.

I purposefully used the line because he's so fucking uppity about being atheist. Seriously, I find angsty teenagers who decide there is no god less insufferable. At least they have the excuse of being young for their poor tact and self-important nature.
This dude has no excuse he literally thinks he's the smartest mother fucking in the room at all times.
Camden Martin

Kayden Diaz
Why does ricky seem to think that there's a massive stigma against being athiest? In England it's much more uncommon to be religious. What a pikey
Is he actually a born again athiest or something? Did he wait until he hit 50 to start proselytising?
Jordan Fisher
Doesn't matter one way or t'other to my gripe.
Jace Butler
AMEN
Brandon Sanders
It isn't he just has a compulsion to feel like he's superior to everyone. If what he believes in is the norm then he's not a special.
Nathan Reed
it does though. Imagine if I suddenly started acting "uppity" and "insufferable" about how gremlins aren't real. Would you care? Of course not, because you weren't indoctrinated from childhood to believe gremlins exist, and you didn't spend a chunk of your life engaged in rituals to appease gremlins.
Brayden Gray
Fuck. This show about me? A few years ago my wife died in a car accident and the only thing that kept me going was my German Shepard.
Gavin Lee
Gremlins arent real? Holy shit
Matthew Brooks
My point is, who the fuck cares. Religion served it's purpose. Whether you choose to still believe or not doesn't fucking matter. You can be an atheist and still talk about it in good taste. Out of celebrity atheist he's the only one I can think of that is so god damn smug about something most 16 year olds decide to believe. He acts like he is the first person to ever decide there is no god.
You are simply too stupid to understand my gripe. You think this is about me being annoyed that he doesn't believe in something I believe in, it isn't because frankly, I don't care.
Carter Perez
>My point is, who the fuck cares My point is you clearly do.
Jordan Brooks
I don't.
I don't care if someone chooses to believe in God or doesn't. It doesn't effect me one way or the other. It's when ether side decides to act like they are superior because of their beliefs that I have a problem.
I have a problem with holier than thou Godheads.
I have a problem with smug as fuck atheist.
You think I have a problem with atheist. I don't.
Grayson Jackson
Who are you trying to convince you don't care, me or you?
Ayden Murphy
What the fuck are you two even arguing about.
Oliver Rogers
Alright already, Ricky. We fucking get it, you're an atheist. You drove the point home like 15 years ago.
Eli Miller
No wonder people are so fucking depressed and nihilistic these days when this fucker is their idol. Personally, I've taken the Pascal-pill. If God does not exist, I will have only a finite loss (pleasures, luxury.), whereas I stand to receive infinite gains (Heaven) and avoid infinite losses (Hell). Atheists are just a loose conglomerate of individuals wallowing in their own despair and pessimism whose only joy in life is to take said joy from others.
Zachary Cook

Connor Parker

In other parts of the world, ofcourse he wouldnt dare explore that shit though.
Ayden Morris
He got really really rich off the Office royalties, hired a personal trainer, got super fit, started doing commercials and shit until his foot-in-mouth atheism made him too unpalatable for US audiences
He's not as fit today as he used to be, but nowhere near as fat either
James Taylor

Carson Baker
well, my point is every time gervais comes up on Yea Forums, there's always "That Guy" who just can't shut up about how much gervais' atheism doesn't matter to him, how much he wishes gervais would shut up about being atheist, about how cringy it is that gervais is an atheist, etc, etc, on and on, ceaselessly, with or without provocation. Then when called on this "That Guy" will claim to not be christian or believe in god. Which always smacks of total dishonesty whether "That Guy" realizes it or not.
>Hell is other people Christians were some of the most self-conscious/self-critical people in history.
Owen Green
alzheimer's unto itself is a pretty strong case against there being any sort of real significance to consciousness. For if a few rogue malformed proteins in specific places at specific times can utterly erase a person's life, how can someone claim that human awareness is some magical, shattering, limitless force in the universe?
Jordan Hernandez
Totally agree. The mind is an emergent properpty dependent upon the proper neurological and electrochemical functioning of the brain. Everything we know about the brain and mind points towards this. To believe in dualism is to be in denial of reality and what we are as human beings.
what kind of idiot has the patience to watch anything with a guy that does the same fucking character over and over since the early 2000s and acts like a little weird sad bitch at every ocasion?
its obvious by now that the mind behind the office uk - wich is worst than the american remake, deal with it fags - was stephan merchant.
gervais career will always be this pseudo edgy bullshit that no one cares and some roasting during the emmys...? is that it? dont follow this jerk off fest.
you know for how popular discussions about afterlife and consciousness are, you'd think people would take the time to actually read up on the subject a bit instead of spouting retarded shit which has been shown as flawed by philosophers literally thousands of years ago

Holy shit what a fucking dual abortion of an anecdote. XFM version Karl is all excited, he's living his dream on radio, he's going to call up Benny and record a call...ah shit Benny will make him tape it, he'll have to edit, too hard. Then podcast is bowdlerized nonsense, Steve pretending he's never heard it.
Currently on Episode 4. There are funny moments, but they're few and far between, it's not that most jokes don't work it's that there's just aren't many jokes at all, they're all funny but there's only about 5 each episode. Enjoying it though, he toned down the 'tearjerker' shit from Derek by about 90% which is good.
I'm having a really hard time understanding the character though, The trailer made it seem like it was going to be him having a great time going around doing hilariously mean things to to get back at the world, but it just seems to be he tells people he's sad lots.
Noah Foster
Making fun of christians is so easy. The guy pretends to be edgy but he's never made one joke about Muhammad pbhn.
Liam Thompson
I have no way of knowing. You didn't say either way and theres just as much philosophical proof of god as not.

He's never made a joke about Jesus of Nazareth, he won't even name his foe
Robert Martin
>The only smart people are agnostics. >doesn't even know that agnostic is not an alternative to atheist or theist
i just finished watching it and enjoyed a lot. the first episode kinda made me cringe with how overblown "yeah i'm gonna just suicide lol" was but it really settles in better. probably his best since extras. scenes inside the journalist hq is very reminiscent of the office
no, it's one of his best yet. the cinematography is also surprisingly good
Leo Gutierrez
If God is good he'll let me slide for being a good person regardless of belief. If he's anal about that stuff I'd go to hell anyway for wearing mixed fabrics.
