Ricky Gervais on Atheism

Some brainless scientists regard matter as independent and imagine that it has itself gained this freedom and elaborated the laws that rule over it. But how can they believe that hydrogen and oxygen, electrons and protons, should first produce themselves, then be the source for all other beings, and finally decree the laws that regulate themselves and the rest of the material world? NO Pseudo-Scientific Demagoguery!

Nov 18, 2009 - What atheist leaders? what beliefs other than religion are you talking about? read what i wrote, I said religion, not theism, I know a few smart sane people that just believe in god because of their little insecurities and that's fine, it's religion that is pathetic and for dumb people. Theism isn't necessarily the christian god obviously, which is what I was referring to in my response to your comment on this video(since it was about the christian god).

Nov 19, 2009 - @robbaress IMO like I mentioned a billion times; atheism is being exploited, promoted into a popular trend. ATheism is a single idea/disbelief. Also, it isnt insecure to believe in a higher power, it depends how you incorperate the belief. Atheism is being seen as something more than it is, a way of life, an ID. Not all athesits are like this, but many are becoming radicalized through fear, paranoia, and they seem to worship dawkins or atheist celebrities because of 1 disbelief.

Nov 19, 2009 - @lihzee Because he is an atheist, or because you actually think he is witty and funny. I think he has wit.

robbaress Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - A belief in god is just filling in gaps, it's ignorant to think anyone in the world knows all the answers the way religious people do, religious people know as well as goat herders did 5,000 years ago in the middle east how this how thing came about, I see a flaw in that. And yes, I agree Atheism is a single idea/disbelief but we seem to agree with each other hence we're labeled. And to be honest I'm glad it's being promoted into a popular trend, because that will help end religion's poison.

lihzee Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - I think his take on religion is funny. But I thought he was witty before that also. So I guess...both?

Nov 19, 2009 - nobody knows one way or another whether there is a God or not. It can't be proven by either side so both sides need to quit knocking the other for their beliefs.

Nov 19, 2009 - I think lack of evidence for a god is pretty much a good indication that it probably doesn't exist. Give ANYONE who doesn't believe in god a reason to believe one exists without a shred of evidence, credibility kind of helps. Thousands of years people have been crapping on about the existence of deities, a long time to prove it beyond a doubt and what do we have? ZERO. Took less time to prove the theory of evolution fact and discover the beginnings of our universe.

Nov 20, 2009 - @lihzee His take on religion is funny. I dont like how he is exploiting atheism though. It sure is exploiting him. But glad to know some people here are not insecure people who worship a single disbelief and promote it in themselves to feel better than others.

mennella2000 Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - @robbaress ATheists here should only be similar because they disbelieve in God. Atheists here are very different o one another, some extreme than others. However, all seems to be developing atheism on their fear of religion. Fine, religion has caused problems, but then Atheists here conflate all theists[a single belief] with religion and some even go as far as to mix belief with religion, turning their back on what isnt abnormal in humans. Pop atheism will not help anything.

mennella2000 Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - @robbaress You cannot be an atheist if you think all theists and religion are poison. You would in fact be a hateful anti theist. The world isnt divided into smart people and dumb people. Atheists are not the smart people as individuals vary from one another. Also, the government benifits from both Atheist mind sets and religion, so you will never win thanks to other atheists who don't care about anyone. You think all atheists in the world are logical and descent? If not, stop generalizing.

robbaress Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - I am an atheist and an anti theist just like Christopher Hitchens and I hate it just like he does.

mennella2000 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - @robbaress So you hate theists regardless of their interpretation or strength in the belief of god? So anyone who believes in God who isn't commited to the bible, is ok the hate as if they were a terrorist? You are an anti theists, AntiX are dangerous, naive and brainwashed people, religious or not and should be defended against. White supremicists hate less people than you.

mennella2000 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - @ElleMao What a moron. God is an interpretation by a group a high power. There are many interpretations. Since it cannot be proven or disproven, it is a "logical" fallacy to be absolute since life is a mystery. When people mix belief with facts then a problem arises e.g religion and anti theists like you. Suddenly being an atheist doesnt make you smart. You have sane atheists to contend with. "Alla" idiot.

mennella2000 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - Sorry I meant to say. God is among many interpretations of a higher power.

mennella2000 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - @Muzicboxtecnotunez Why are anti theists here so obsessed with hating religion despite not being able or willing to do anything about it? Proves atheism like theism is a single thought exploited by insecure people.

Muzicboxtecnotunez Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - Ask yourself then: what CAN you do about religion? in a REASONABLE manner that is! and a more interesting question is: why are you expecting that the atheists should do anything about religion? Its not our problem, or is it? my advice would be to just leave it and walk away from it. This world is a hateful place and there will always be haters... there's not much that anyone can do to stop religion.. (anti theists and atheists are two different things though)

Nov 21, 2009 - I am 22, very compassionate, training to become a junior school teacher and i am an anti theist. i despise religion, i think religious zealots are fools and ignorant, and i dont believe they have any place in modern society. i have nothing against the people themselves, but i hate religion, and hate religion in people. does this make me worse than a racist? does this make me genocidal? does this mean people should be defended from me? of course it doesnt you moron.
