It is a totally improbable idea. It might be funny, but it is impossible to grow up in our country and avoid mention of God, even if your parents go out of their way to insulate their children from religion, which mine did. Think of the Xmas songs, or any songs. I had friends who believed. Well, it is actually ridiculous to even discuss the idea. So it was a joke. A throw away idea.

Why is it logical solution? Well when you die (which every one does) if there is no god you have nothing to worry about, if there is a god and you where following gods way fine, and if there is a god but god says no no you did not follow my way, well you will have a very strong argument, you have asked god every night for guidance and if he did not guide you then it is not your fault and all religions portray god as all merciful. Try it out and see what happens there nothing to lose, just a few seconds every night.

Reverend Gervais Thank you so very much. You are a hero. You are a picture show . To me thats what makes you so profound. I want so much for the rest of my life to bring people around. I am too humble as I know you are too as to call yourself a Reverend or a Minister or a Pastor or some title that you choose for you. Because you've been given special knowledge, you have been spoken to. By the all knowing creator in the sky that you is special to you. But even you best not deny by the way ,this benevolent being that you believe owns you. But you have been given free will with which to live your life by. Which can be terribly stressful for a young child. Set's them right up for an honest life, but what does it matter because you are supporting your way of life and your wife. It took most of my life that could have been So much more could have been much more if I had not let it be stolen. I so much love Mr Hitchens and their is never enough of Richard Dawkins. So many heroes it makes a person want to be more. I called you Reverend Mr Gervais just to get under your skin. You truly are a blessing from heaven. You get the joke I know. save a bunch of people from thier strife and I am So happy that you have given me foresight and that youe confirmed I was right when my granddaughter asked me why things she kept hearing just didn't sound right. I could get what she was saying but didn't know how to tell her about how she was being told to not ask too many questions and just know and have faith and you will be alright. Believe that you will go to a better place when it's all over. Isn't that cool ? Just learn enough in school so you can meet that ten percent rule. Then you don't have To worry or think about how you came to be or any other possibilities like science or thinking like some people like to do. We have already done all of that thinking for you. Now just believe in the golden rule and distract your thoughts from anything that makes you wonder because we already know what's best for you.

He's bloody brilliant. Nothing more to it.

Love you Ricky !!

But far be it from me to prove it to you if you insist on remaining ignorant of stamps. Atheism is the assertion that 'there is no God.' To believe this assertion, you must of necessity exercise 'faith' that the assertion is true, because 'it cannot be proven'. The assertion by Atheists, that Atheism is the absence of belief or faith, is an erroneous absurdity. There is no evidence that Atheism is anything other than a 'belief system', albeit the belief that there is no God. Atheist love to play this game with semantics to prove that Atheism is not a religion, but in order to do this, they first have to twist the meaning of words and ideas into pretzels in order to accomplish it.

@sir-_-smith9949

Depends on what kind of God you believe in. I'm a Christian and the core of my belief is that God doesn't send me to hell because I don't believe in him, I end up in hell as justice for my own wickedness and the fact that Christ died for my sins so that I shouldn't have to bear these terrible consequences because God is loving and mercifull enough to offer me a way out, it is up to me if I accept the hand he offers me to be free of this fate or not, because justice for evil is something every human being would agree with and that is exactly what hell is. We also agree that mercy and compassion are good things and that is exactly what God offers us through Jesus. And the idea that God sends 'descent' people to hell is only valid if you assume people are inherently good, history aswell as the christian bible states this definitely isn't the case. Now you could say: "But they never hurt anyone": I refuse to believe that any human being has never hurt another human being in any way shape or form. "But they do good things": Is it because they care or so that they could brag about being good people because if it is the latter then they are not "good" people and it is rarely the case that someone does something simply because they want to do it and not because they were raised to do these good things by there parents in which case you are not a 'good' person. You are simply conplying to your environment(i.e. the way you were raised)

A highly intelligent and intuitive man! If you’re a ‘believer’, the most you can ever say is ‘I have a faith there is a god’! The Definition of faith..... belief without evidence.

I grew up in a family where nobody went to church but Christianity was taught to me by osmosis. Every school assembly started and ended with prayers and hymns and then there's Christmas, Easter and all the rest of it. I became an atheist as a teenager and have spent the rest of my life trying to work out what is indoctrinated belief within our society and what I can truly believe. It certainly makes life interesting.

Deleting all the negative input as a child is a big job when you have been taught that before you can really think for yourself. Happens all around the world every day .. scary

"There is a god!" "What?" "There is a god!"

Great points

3:42 💯 always loved ricky since the xfm days

Leaving Christianity or Judaism only requires a good brain. Leaving Islam requires a mountain of courage.

Whilst what you say is true, it’s also only true ‘now’. 500 years ago, leaving Christianity or Judaism would have been equally courageous. Things can change very quickly, and we’re in a time when more educational stuff is available on a daily basis. Who knows in 50, 20 or even 10 years time what will change.

Gervais is great, standing up against religion is needed badly.

Superb!

People seem to forget that it is by Faith. Whether Faith in a Supreme Being or no Faith in a Supreme Being. It's one's duty in Life to Choose and place Faith wisely

I like how he pronounces mental as "mentle".

+Marteen Lake noooo it's hard to hear if you're not a pedantic fuck like me. The vast majority would say MEN-terl. (The er phoneme would be short, like in the word better). Ricky says mentl, The T and L are pronounced together with the tongue, like little. It just sounds strange to me. I guess I'm more tuned in because I do a lot of work with phonics and pronunciation.

Glad to witness that Gervais is becoming the voice of common sense in a world where fear is driving humanity. Gervais can be My God! Okay... I'll go with that - given other choices. LOL

All of his points are perfect.

Ricky nailed it

Did anyone catch Ricky's play on words @ 6:34?
