      katie murphy I think that a great many people (myself included) came to this understanding independently. If you spend a little time thinking about not being conscious, not existing etc., you inevitably end up considering the fact that you didn't exist before you were born. It's a simple logical narrative

      I questioned a Muslim on this problem. It seems Christianity and Islam share the belief that as long as you repent for your sins it's enough to go to paradise... Not just not-commiting murder in the first place 🤔 I think someone might've been making up the rules as they went along 😂

    "There are twelve year old kids who are told that if they don't believe in god, they'll go to hell." 01:12
    This spoke to me so much. As a child my parents thought I was getting close to the point of exploring masturbation. They gave me a religious leaflet explaining how masturbation was wrong and you shouldn't do it. I was so naive, I thought that if you masturbated you liked men. This same religion had already informed me from a younger age that homosexuality was sin. For a while I had a child sized breakdown thinking that I was gay and abandoned by my God and soon my family. It wasn't until my atheist sister came home and found me crying that it was all explained to me. I was informed what masturbation actually meant, that I was not gay and that God was a theory, not fact. She stuck her neck on the line, as it caused a massive argument between her and my parents. She had made me question my faith, but my parents had failed in their duty of education. Funnily enough, neither of my parents are religious in the slightest now.

    "Religious apologists complain bitterly that atheists and secularists are aggressive and hostile in their criticism of them. I always say: look, when you guys were in charge, you didn't argue with us, you just burnt us at the stake. Now what we're doing is, we're presenting you with some arguments and some challenging questions, and you complain." -A.C. Grayling

    I sincerely feel that comedians are some of the wisest people on the planet. Not solely because of their ideas, either. I mean I've had the same thoughts as Ricky for the vast majority of my life. But it's also because of how they manifest these ideas in the form of verbal/written communication. It takes a genius to take shit so incredibly sacred to so many people and have them laugh at it.
    I hope Ricky keeps doing what he's doing. He's a good man and a funny man.

    Same thing happened to me. Was about 10 years old, went over to my friends house and asked him if god knew I was trying to believe in him, and he just looked at me with this puzzled look and said "you believe in god?". Then I realized the only reason I was trying to was fear of going to hell. It was like having a weight lifted off my shoulders, I was always so scared I would go to hell because I couldn't make myself believe, awful that millions of kids probably feel this way right now.

      Laren, do you actually form these thoughts in your head before you type them, or have you a computer infinite monkey program churning them out?
      I'm atheist. I'm not earning money to say that. I'm not a fascist communist. I'm not looking for another religion. There are quite enough for me to see as ridiculous.
      Oh and before you see the fact that I find your choice of religion as ridiculous, look at how you see other religions. A blue multi-trunked elephant god? Thor? Zeus? Mars? Aphrodite? Cat gods? How do you see those gods?

      @IAmHoTSHoTzz 7 лет назад +1

      Yea, because, as Ricky said it himself, you can't be an agnostic. "What? You don't know if you believe in God or not?"

    • @DrR1pper
      @DrR1pper 7 лет назад +1

      Edward Kenway But Agnosticism is not about whether you know if you believe in god or not. It's the belief/view that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of (a possible) god.
      If one were to approach the question of whether a god exists using the scientific method in an intellectually honest way, they would be forced to come to the position of an Agnostic Atheist. Why? Firstly because you cannot form a scientific hypothesis surrounding the existence of god as it would be untestable because it would be unfalsifiable and secondly, because you cannot test it you have no good evidence upon which to form a belief in the existence of god.
      Ergo, a scientists intellectually honest position should be by default that of an Agnostic Atheist.

    Ricky telling the story about his brother reminds me of how I first started questioning religion.
    My grandpa was an old grumpy man. I was about 8-9 years old and there was a Christian out of curriculum class I was attending at school. We had to paste paper icons of various saints (I was Christian Orthodox) in a notebook and I don't remember why but I was showing it to my grandpa. He wasn't very impressed by it. I asked him if he believes in God. His answer was: "I don't believe in nonsense." And from this moment since I've started questioning everything. It's fun, because my mom is kind of a spiritual type of person, so she's not only into religion in particular but superstitions, astrology,fate and so on.
    We have good times.

    The only thing that Mr. Gervais is mistaken about in this clip is that the Sun Kil Moon lyric he quotes ("You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?") is not an original composition by that band, but is actually a lyric written by Modest Mouse for their song "Ocean Breathes Salty", which Sun Kil then later covered.
    Other than that, Ricky is dead-on accurate in his views. We only have a finite amount of time here on this planet, in this one life, and then we are gone forever. So soak it up as much as you can, because someday the ride *will* stop.

    • @7Be
      @7Be 6 лет назад +2

      Mike Tank the only thing I disagree with him on about this is when he says none of us know so we're all agnostic. It's a common misconception that agnosticism has to do with knowledge. It actually has to do with perceived knowledge: A Gnostic atheist lacks the belief in god(s) and claims to know that there is no god. An agnostic atheist lacks belief in god(s), but makes no claim of knowledge that there is a god or gods. Most atheists fall under this definition. A "true" agnostic believes the likeliness of god existing and not existing are equal. An agnostic theist believes that god(s) exist but don't claim to know for sure. A gnostic theist believes to know for sure that a god or gods exist.
      It's not whether somebody HAS knowledge, but rather that a person CLAIMS to have knowledge, that gnosticism regards.
      Other than that, and that the awesome Modest Mouse originally made that song, Gervais is absolutely correct in everything else he says.

    What happens to you after death, is actually quite amazing and comforting, if you think about it. Your energy and material returns back to earth (gravity keeps us here) which you came from and you will play a part in creating new and supporting current life. So you don't need to think you will be transferred to somewhere else "heaven/hell/where ever", but you will stay here. So all our loved ones stay with us forever, they are not transferred anywhere. That includes your dog too ;). All life ever existed is still here in other form.

    @ProxCyde 10 лет назад +12

    I've been having many discussions where I've asked why "agnostics" call themselves that, instead of atheists. Or at least call themselves agnostic atheists. And here he comes along using those two words together. I almost cried. I thought I was the only one. :P (Yes, probably ignorant of me. I bet there are others as well.)
    But it's very typical of especially famous people, to use agnostic instead of atheist, when they're clearly atheists. Just cause it's somehow more acceptable in some areas still. However, the definition the majority of people who call themselves agnostics use is "I don't believe in a god, but I don't know if one exists or not.". That makes you an atheist, deal with it. "Lack of belief in a deity.".
    Not using it only empowers the negativity that still lingers from our past.
    Also, if you feel like this; "I don't know if a god exist or not, and I'm not choosing a side." or something similar to that, then you're still an atheist.
    To believe, you have to actively do just that, believe. If you don't, you're an atheist.

    Ricky is always right on point when discussing religion, and I love his work !

    I don't believe in an afterlife, and the nice about it for me is that i don't ever think about it. It doesn't distract me or my thoughts, it doesn't take up my time, and i don't feel guilty about anything that i do in the mean time that i don't morally find negative.

      I try to be good to other people not because I'm afraid of being punished by my imaginary friend or I expect to be rewarded for it in the future, but because it is the right thing to do.

    Listened to this earlier...fucking awesome. Gervais makes a hell of a lot of sense. Can't have faith...in anything...until you completely lose it. Though you don't have to necessarily belong to a side or a team.
    A lot will argue "You're either an atheist or you're a crazy, bible-thumping zealot! A creationist or an evolutionist! You're either with us or against us!"
    Not the case.
    A person can believe in science and still stare in "awe" at a mountain or a flower. The two aren't mutually exclusive. You don't have to pick a "team".
    This life is a wild ride. Enjoy all aspects of it...known and unknown.

    To those afraid of dying: I ran a large spiritual care department at a Hospice providing support for finding hope, purpose, and meaning at the last stages of life. I was 35 when I started. Being around the dying normalizes the experience and those moments had some beauty. Additionally, as we age, others of our tribe die. (Nothing happens as we grow younger! :) As or peers die, we get more used to the idea and guys know.."If that bloke can do it, I can do it better!

    The version of evolution I learned in school was confusing because it was voiced backwards. A new food source becomes available to a species and those in the population who can utilize it have an advantage which eventually effects the population. They always said, 'we evolved' when 'we adapted or died'. Human evolution may even have slowed since we took control of the environment.

      Clevan Campbell It's not a question of judgement. This is the question in question: "Did you even listen to what he said?". I responded to your answer, because you responded "Yes" which belies the reason for asking the question in the first place.
      There follows a follow up question: "Did you even read what I wrote?".
      Perhaps a better answer to your initial question would have been: "No".

      If anything, a much larger portion of atheists are quite vocal about how intelligent they are for seeing through the sham. Just like with modern feminism, actively seeking persecution will ensure you find examples of it while ignoring the vast majority who don't give a shit.
