But why in the world are so many people fine with others who don't believe in their god _except_ when it comes to those of us who don't believe in _any_ gods? Again, doesn't that seem weird?

Bill Garthright Excellent point, sadly that's the world we live in. Maybe because as Stephen points out, you can just dismiss other religions away as cults when you also believe, maybe because they see it as a direct threat to their own beliefs and their own sense of worth or maybe that most of the world still incorrectly believes that without religion there is no basis for morality.

I think Colbert misunderstands what it means to not like fantasy. At least, for some people, (well, OK, me), it's not that for us, everything "has to be real", but it's just not very interesting when reality gets suspended, because when everything becomes possible, nothing is a surprise. As an example, plot twists are meaningless when they're achieved by fudging what's possible. To me, it's a bit like inheriting too much money and going shopping: it's no fun anymore when you can just say "I'll have everything in the shop"

@@Gottenhimfella I guess it does take a bigger step to suspend your disbelief enough to be invested in the fate of Hobbits and Dwarves and Elves. Before I read Lord of the Rings, I was very sceptical about it - all the goofy sounding names and places... how could anybody ever care about Aragorn, descendant of Isildur, wielding the sword Andruil to defend Minas Tirith? It sounds bonkers, I do recognize that. But then Tolkien came along and somehow sucked me in. Because yeah, it's all made up, but with so much love and effort and detail that you can FEEL this universe living and breathing beneath the pages. And before I even realized, all the ridiculous names meant something to me and felt honestly more like history than the word salad they look like. And obviously, a fictional universe also has rules that you can't just break for a random plot twist (unless it's just a bad story, that happens in every genre). It needs to be consistent and believable, and that's a lot harder than it looks.

For anyone who's interested, no, the majority of Icelandic people do not actually believe in elves.

The icelandic law thing is not because they actually believe in elves, but because nearly all the fairy tales and legends are tied to certain places in the landscape. Any human that narrowly escapes a giant wanting to eat him or a servant completing magical chores or whatever - you can GO where the story takes place. So it´s more about preserving artifacts of folklore rather than actual believe in hidden folk living in rocks.

Peter The Rabbit, always thought that was a bit of a cop-out. I mean, sure, you showed that atheist fella, but you've also reduced your belief system to his level of sheer possibility, where he's got nothing to lose. Pretty much the equivalent of titling the book "Holy Bible (maybe)."

Outstanding interview the banta flowed smoother than a stream

Gervais has said for every chat show appearance attempts to make it the best appearance in its history. Not that he achieves that, but at least he is aiming to give audiences their value for money.

"Same as Mr Universe, always comes from Earth..."

7:58 his expression is priceless

I love this. I live for Stephen just explaining Christianity to Ricky and then the whole LOTR debacle.

"Sounds a bit far fetched to me". Sips coffee. Yep, that's a pretty fair summary.
