As a Filipino Catholic, I often laugh at jokes about Jesus Christ & Christianity. I'm not offended nor hurt if someone makes of our religion. I just take it as joke, no big deal. 😅😅
There are a lot of people in the world. That’s why there are so many Christians who can laugh at themselves and the jokes that are made at their belief’s expense and so many who cannot.
So it’s all about him now. He believes that earth has come to being on its own without any super power influencing it, yet he claims to not believe. Religion is about believing!!
Religious people are only good because they think they will be punished. When Atheists are good, it's because they actually want to be, not because they think they are watched constantly.
If you truly believe in god then it shouldn’t matter what people says and it shouldn’t offend you. The only reason you would get upset is because maybe you don’t fully believe in him yourself
Spot on, I have Always thought this. I feel that theists may not like the idea of atheism particularly as it’s an uncomfortable idea to them not because they Think it’s completely untrue.
The thing I find suspicious about each religion is that the followers of practically all of them solely believe in the one god which is most popular in their nation of origin. How many religious people in the U.S. went directly to Christianity without even reading what the thousands of other gods had to say?
I think the reason they are so offended is because they think we are better then them, which we do not, and that they know deep down inside they themselves don't know for sure it's true. Nobody likes the mirror held up to them.
If you have a good heart, you are a believer, it doesn't matter what your reason for being good is. Whether you believe in God or yourself is another matter. If everyone had a good heart, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in as a species.
Organized religions any religion that has a book is a man-made religion. It all derives off of sun worshipping from the dawn of time. settlers would view Sun worshippers and use that as a platform for a way of control power an monopolizing on what fits their best interest it has been like that for decades.. all you need is someone with a good concept, a great Storyteller, a writer and a positive motivational speaker and you can create a religion tomorrow 😉
No, I agree, no reason to get offended. As a Christian, I'd love it if he poked fun at the silly things Christians do. Or to put a spin on things and look at it from a different perspective. "Do you realize you basically believe in a zombie?" "What's so holy about that mate?"
Piers Morgan doesn't ask questions. He makes accusations and "forces" people to "defend" themselves. Ricky is too smart to allow Morgan to accuse him of anything. He has no need to be defensive.
There is only one reason religious people get offended when someone is making fun of their god or gods: Because somewhere deep on their minds ... at the back of their consciousness there is a silent doubt; a tiny voice telling them that all that religious stuff could in fact be made up in order to organize people back in the days. And heaven was made up to control people; to give them an incentive for being obidient. And that would mean that there is no afterlife, not meeting with old loved ones .. the only thing that is eternal is your deeds in your life. And THAT scares them so much that they would do anything ... ANYTHING to silence the fun-maker. In the end they would kill to keep that tiny voice silent. This is not about god ... god wouldn't care when someone is moking him/her. This is about the believers and their insecurities.
I believe in our spirit but my children were very bright and I said , do you remember before you were born . Perhaps that’s what it is like when you die. Who knows?
A lot of Jews were angry with the Papacy after WWII because they thought the Vatican could have done more to help. Pope Pius XII had behaved a lot like Neville Chamberlain when Hitler came knocking, trying to appease him rather than resist. Also, they thought the Vatican could have done more to actively help the Jews during the war(though they did hide some). In addition, some Popes many years prior had actively persecuted Roman Jews. So.....hard feelings existed historically. Pope John Paul II apologized for all of that when he visited the wailing wall. I'm not an authority on this, either.
I like religion for (some of) the morality, and the lessons you can take from it. Also the glimpse it gives about different people and places in history. I see both how religion has legitimacy as well as atheism, and how a mix of both can be beneficial. That’s why I like that they made a distinction between spirituality and religion
I love Ricky. He is genuine and gentle. He is one of the very few who ever took the time to question the things our parents and pastors and priests told us not to question. All the religions and all the gods have been scamming us for centuries. Good for you, Mr. Gervais!
If you get offended because you feel entitled, you are a worthless maggot. Nobody cares about you. Also, it's not about you. Never has been. So grow the F up and silence those STUPID immature feelings of yours because nobody cares.
Ricky seems unnecessarily defensive here. Piers - is as usual - disappointingly trite. Hold on - "disappointingly" implies I expected better - and that is clearly nonsense. Piers is 'expectedly' trite. Much better!
always an easy to target Christianity to get cheap laughs He never mentions the Koran in the same derogatory manner. Not as edgy as he likes to make out.
Why would he mention the Qur'an in an interview with a Catholic Christian about religious views in America, where the vast majority of people who believe in god are going to be Christians? And even in this interview, Ricky made it very clear what the thinks when he said _"I look at all religions equally."_ You're just a Christian that doesn't approve of what Ricky believes.
@@TonyEnglandUK First I'm not Christian, second, the point is Ricky loves to portray himself as a brave voice against wokery, standing up against the mob, ills of society type of bloke. In fact none of these comedians do, they take an easy line jeering Christianity, white people, Trump etc as they are easy targets and no fall back. But they don't have the balls to do derogatory comments against Islam, black folks, immigration etc as they know it will come back on them badly. So he's not brave he's a coward looking for cheap easy laughs.
treat others as you would have them treat you is the first principal of philosophy. good deeds should not be planned as an addition to their investment portfolio.....kindness costs nothing.
