Quite the stand-up comedian. I wonder if he doesn’t really care about the bible stuff, but just knows that churches would be more than happy to shell out money to a guy with actual talent to talk about the bible.
Hmmm.
The part at the end where he says that he “used to believe in that stuff” wouldn’t go over well with the church, I’d think.
How bout when he was giving undeserved props to that movie, BaseketBall. I mean yeah it was pretty funny, and all. but honestly to call it a..how did he say it..a “Visual masterpiece that leaves you feeling fulfilled, and tickled with the amusement of a child. An edge of your seat ride, that doesn’t let up until it gets it’s 3 quarts”…
Seriously this guy does not know what he’s talking about.
and before you ask…no I did not actually WATCH or LISTEN to the file….I pretty much made these assumptions up at the hope of grabbing maybe a cheap laugh from the one guy on this site he reads these threads in his buzz lighter undies, eating blue bunny ice cream bars.
Spongebob boxers, but you were close. ;)
the guy really knows nothing about God , and to be a scientist doent mean he is not ignorant i strongly advise you to look for scientist s who believe , i t it isnt strong proof
betül
from turkey
Ricky is great and some of you sound like you could stand to get a sense of humor
He’s a goddamn comedian. Trust americans to take his standup seriously. Can anyone say ‘wardrobe malfunction’?
betül, u stupid turkish fuck, dumbass god humping motherfukers
Godkiller, you should really grow up. You sound like a 10 year old spoiled brat.
Ad Hominims will always make you look like the lesser in an argument. (If you don’t know what Ad Hominim means, look it up.)
Ricky Gervais is a ledgend! (creator of the office aswell by the way) and is hillarious, plus he makes a fair point
everything he reads he reads straight from the bible!
trust americans to not get the sarcastic subtlety of his humour, and alot of people in here do seriously need a sense of humor
hes a comedian! an entertainer!! here to makes us laugh and thats exactly what he did!
Ricky Gervais is the best thing to happen to the UK since Monty Python.

I think it would really make his day to know that you think he is a scientist.
what a hoot, my thoughts exactely!
the koran is shit and so is biggles
Foolish people joke about GOD creating the world, even if that`s and obvious fact. On the judgement day, all will accept that, but then it will be too late. Read the Bible, the only book worth reading! The Bible is not JUST a history book, a roman, a poetry book. It`s not something that you read and throw away. It`s the Book. A book to apply to your life and practice daily. But no wonder the people today don`t know how to live and ruin they lives: they were never interested in what God says about life. And who could write better about life that it`s Creator? What’s really hilarious is an atheist trying to prove there is no God. :)
What’s even more funny is a Christian trying to prove that there is no Flying Spaghetti Monster ;)
Re post 15, RAmen :-)
Which bible are you talking of? Gnostic, King james, etc, etc, etc, etc
First tell us which Bible you mean and then prove why others are false. Then we talk more
“Read the Bible, the only book worth reading!”
I’m gonna guess you haven’t bothered to read any other books then…
“And who could write better about life that it`s Creator?”
But who created the creator? Maybe theres an even bigger god over your god, holy crap, you better start worshiping that one fast.
“it’s turtles, all the way down”
“What’s really hilarious is an atheist trying to prove there is no God.”
I like Dawkins take on all of this, essentially when there is no proof of somethings existence, the onus should be on the believers to prove it exists, not the other way around.
And for the record, Dawkins description of himself within the believer:atheist sliding scale doesnt put him as KNOWING there is no god (because how can you?) but being pretty bloody damn sure of it given the balance of evidence. Same way that no ‘believer’ can truly say that they KNOW there IS a god, ie otherwise the word ‘faith’ wouldnt be so necessary in religious discussion…
The bible is all you need. Read it. It is a moral book that allows you to guide your life in the way of the LORD!
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. The south shall rise again!
2. Remember always that women are simply tools for our use, and as per Exodus 21:7, your daughter is your property to sell as you see fit.
3. Our LORD enjoys the smell of a burning a bull, as it creates a pleasing odor – Lev.1:9.
4. Every sunday you are to kill those who work. Any job at all, right down to picking up sticks – Exodus 35:2.
5. Eating shellfish is a horrible abomination – Lev. 11:10
6. Lev.21:20 Dwarfs, people with back problems, or even sight problems are less then us, and may not aproach the alter.
7. Don’t cut your hair or beard: Lev. 19:27
8. Football is an abomination as well, as handling the skin of a pig is unclean! Lev. 11:6-8
9. Lev.19:19 states clearly that you shall not plant two types of crops in the same land, yet the devils have convinced farmers that they will retate their crops! Not only that but I have to hand make my clothing to prevent wearing anything with two types of cloth.
The thing about religion, from a scientific perspective is that it’s not falsifiable.. It’s a circular argument based entirely on “faith” and assumption.
I am neither a supporter of religion, nor do I bash it, but Ricky is really not trying to duel with the religious folk..he’s just laying out his bit.
And I think it’s “absolutely brilliant”!
And, I think you can’t prove God’s existence because that would take away His power. He exists for faith to exist, and thrives because of it.
P.S. Digital..it’s very hard to detect sarcasm in posts.. I hope that’s what you were attempting to do. If so..then that’s hilarious.
Thanks Soliloqui, I kind of find it telling to the insanity of the argument that a post as off the wall as mine could be viewed as a realistic response.
If faith makes you happy, go with it. It only becomes an issue if it is pushed on others. Trying to pass off the bible as a historicly accurate peice of the past, rather then the recommended way to live your life 2000 years ago, makes no sense.
If beliving in a higher being or force is for you, then do so, but do nothing to impede humanitys progression. Don’t attack the very people who have helped to build a world where you have the free time to bitch and moan all day.
We live in a world where scientists are breaching the very edges of everything… the Hadron Collider will soon show us a glimse of things which were nothing but theory and math before, we’re working on getting a man on Mars, and farming the moon! We’re designing viruses that can target specific cell types that may be able to cure cancer or even aids.
Science! This is what humanity is capable of!
And not just theory and ‘things to come’. Since 10,000 BC, smallpox was a deadly disease… countless millions of people. Over 80% of children exposed would die, simple as that. Survivors may be blind.
You know what science did to this bitch?
Eradication of smallpox was in 1979. And that’s just a simple and obvious example. Imagine for me if the people who created air-conditoners had only used ‘the law of thermodynamics’ to be a douche on the forums… rather then understanding heat transfer and it’s applications. Hows the temperature in your home today?
Now if the men and women involved had grown refusing to belive anything but what that book taught them… if the religious leaders were given back the control they so desperatly crave… again… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_ages
Faith is your right, and so long as it is not a burdon to humanity, and rather the light it claims to be, I respect that. However I’ll defend the progress of humanity for more venemously then you will your faith… and I’ll be right.
You must be new here then. Some people would actuallly post things like that as a real argument. For laughs, looks at the Nanotech topic, look at Mohameds post and you’ll see what I mean.
For the rest of your post, It’s like hearing myself talk.
Thank goodness that we (well some of us) possess reason rather than ignorance. I would choose knowledge over stupidity any day..though the reverse would likely be easier.
Digital, I agree with you fully.
religion is a bunch of bs
Ricky Gervais is a genius! In everything he does! He has obviously done a bit of research, and he is an intelligent man to be able to read into the bible like that! Considering he reads straight from the bible it can hardly be assumed he’s trying to twist the words.
There are way too many loop holes that I’ve noticed throughout the bible so I find it hard to take seriously, but that’s just me personally. Everyone is entitled to believe what they want.
Except of course the people that think that Gervais sucks haha. I would marry that man :P
Gervais does not come across well. I used to find him very funny but increasingly he seems a bit tiresome.

HA, the funny thing is you all think hes on your side :)
Just shows the adverage intelligence of your common creationist!
“Just shows the adverage intelligence of your common creationist!”
Please don’t bash other people’s intelligence if you’re going to misspell average.
Your common creationist is no more or less intelligent than your common evolutionist. Both sides have equally smart (and stupid) people and both groups are convinced what they believe is truth.
One says there is a God, one says there isn’t. Both can’t be right. People can try to persuade you but in the end it’s ultimately your decision.
Science shouldn’t be affected by your worldviews, whether they be Atheistic, Christian, etc. but should be a searching for the truth. And once you find what you believe, test it! Test it against attacks from both sides and know what you believe and why you believe it. No one can tell you what to believe but can only help lead you to (or away from)the truth.
Well thank you Sam but I have to comment that Pastafarians are more intelligent, and much, much saucier than common creationists. The evos are much smarter than we Pastafarians are though, but we let them come to our beer bashes and they can be Aye-OK after downing a few. Harrr!
Yarrr! Now there’s some bashing for you, ayyyye, matey. The real real truth can only be found in Pasta, and right over here you can be lead to the truth:

Re: Servant of the Bud.
So you are saying that Gervais is dumb and doesn’t know what he’s talking about because of a movie he gave a good review about that you even admit is funny?
People who did not watch the video should not talk about how he is wrong when you don’t even know what he says.
Besides, in this video everything he says is tainted with sarcasm. Maybe that review was, too.
Logicalthinker, that post was made over three years ago. You are not going to receive much of a response.

Hi, this is great posting. I really enjoyed. Nevertheless there are many of off topic comments. I honestly suggest you to delete or something like that. That is only my estimation. All the best !!
Admiring the time and energy you put into your site and in depth information you present. It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same outdated rehashed material. Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
you stupid fucks…there are no atheists nor believers, there are only arrogant and ignorant little beings who don’t know a shit.
yeah, (we) humans are all just insignificant bunch of stupid retarded miniscule beings from the end of universe’s shithole.
the day we start using common sense we’ll advance to the next level – insignificant bunch of stupid retarded miniscule maggots.
Hey, stupid Greenie, common sense is actually often wrong. Careful reasoning is a far better route to follow. And speaking of “stupid fucks”, you speak for yourself well with that handle, except stupid or not, you probably aren’t able to go get some…
