A Holiday Message from Ricky Gervais: Why I'm An Atheist

i dont fully disagree with him, despite the fact that i dislike him (as an actor/comedian), i think he is making a bigger deal at the current climate, there is a lot more athiasts now, and not believing in god isn't really that extremely frowned upon/questioned, as it was before (at least in the civilized cities of the world)

And most people I know that believe in God, don't really. They were just raised to. I don't think I know anyone in my age range that would really be shocked, stunned, and angry that someone is an atheist. As a pretty devout Christian I could care less if someone tells me they don't believe in God. Meaning, no negative thoughts of any kind cross my mind. I don't think of them as evil, or that they stand any risk of going to hell, or anything like that.
white Boy:
yea i think we live in a society (again, in major cities, not to stereotype but im not including farmville/hicktown usa), but a society that it is more shocking that someone goes to church devoutly than if someone is w/e or not believing in god. but some athiest are still such douches, they feel so fucking high and mighty cause they feel like they are so much stronger than religious people because they dont 'need' god.

But they don't really act any more high and mighty than your average devout Christian. Like the article says, atheists only believe in one less god than Christians, out of the 3000 that exist. I don't see the way atheists act towards mainstream religions like Christianity as any different than the way most Christians treat Scientology.
Also I find it kind of funny how theists believe atheists are somehow against them or are completely close-minded to their beliefs. When in reality the moment any credible evidence of a God is found, all these atheists would immediately become theists. I'm pretty sure all atheists would love to be shown wrong.

I believe three-assholed, winged camels exist and there is no way you can disprove that they don't.

There's more credible evidence that God exists than there is that carbon dioxide is going to destroy the Earth with in 50 years and plenty of atheists had no problem believing in Al Gore and Leo DiCaprio. My point is that the atheist takes the "I'm smarter than that" approach, but they're really not any smarter, they just don't want to believe in a God. Christians do. That's the only difference; desire. If you want to believe something bad enough, you'll see it.

I would never even try and disprove it.
