Interesting to hear about Gervais' big bro asking him why he believed in God and his mother is provoked and all that.

Good stuff.

Theres no downside to believing in God really. Theres only upside. What do people possibly gain from being atheist? Nothing, that's what.

I'm assuming that every time an atheist, agnostic or reasonable person tells you why they or someone else might see an upside to atheism, you go to elaborate means to forget what just took place.

Anyways, I'm only one minute in to this so far, and I'm still waiting with baited breath to see if it's a joke or not (because he's really really funny). But it looks legit so far... I think.

Double posts are so much more fun than single posts.

EDIT: The music is a bad idea...

Anyways, one thing he does say which is very important and that I've always felt strongly about is at Minute 3:40. Even if they kind of cut him off there a bit at the end.

Your a funny guy?

 no downside? mass brainwashing?

So many religions in the world and the biggest contributor in what you beleive is what part of the world you are born into and what your family beleive.

I dont discount anything but just beleive in what i want to beleive in, not what people feed me.

How about all the murders around the world based on religous beleives?

All i am saying.. not just upsides

I before E except after C

Guys, he's never going to understand that different people have different opinions, so lets not turn this in to that kind of thread. *you know, the kind where reasonable discussion turns in to shouting matches* And especially not THAT kind of thread *you know, the one where people instead attack religious beliefs and become preachy jerks of another sort*

good video, i agree with what he says about religion and stuff

Exactly!

Everything he says 'feels' so right and it's logical. Didn't expect this from a comedian.

Why do you have the need to "gain" something?

funny, most religous people defend it by saying its NOT about personal gain...

i gain much from my atheism, for one im not tied down by an ancient belief system...

what upsides do you think religion gives you?
