watched it, I agree with him for the most part. The agnostic question has given me some food for thought though

You may incur the wrath of the indoctrinated LT... best polish your best moral armour. I'm not his biggest fan but it's an interesting area for satirical comedy, anything that gets people thinking for themselves as opposed to a collective is ok in my book (the gospel according to St Kizz)

Yeah, in the past I would have said I was agnostic, now though I don't like having to label myself in anyway really. I just want to be a person living their life I suppose though I wouldn't say his view on agnostics is right imo because all they're really saying is I don't know how the world started (if there ever was a start) so I'm open to the possibility that it could have been made by a deity of some sort?

I don't agree with him on agnosticism but everything else he said makes sense. I'm an antitheist. Religion is the worst thing that ever happened to this species IMO. I hope to live to see the day when we ALL see sense!

With or without religion human being will still want to **** on one another power, money and status and wanting control are Gods for a lot more people than Religious Deities.

Yeah, Power really is the root of all evil, organised religion (in my humble opinion of course) is just a tool that humans used to gain power over people, if that goes no doubt something else would replace it

The only post I agree with here , spot on

As for gervais hes a brilliant comedy mind, religion is by far his weakest subject as he ends up always going for the cheap shot, the cheap laugh and the obvious cynicism. I really think his thoughts in this area lack and insight and compassion.

Indeed, as in South Park when Cartman goes to the future, where the United Atheist Alliance is fighting against the Unified Atheist League.

I've sort of come around to that way of thinking with regards to being antitheist... People will always find things to follow with dogma and reasons to **** each other up. Might as well let people have their pretty fairytales if they're inclined to believe them and gain some comfort from them... Even if I know that it's certainly nonsense.

TS has to suck bum these days to keep from having his controversial ass booted Cherie
Belief in god and religion are inextricably linked, it's this that needs to be questioned It's perfectly acceptable to have one without the other without silly labels like agnostic.

I've got Niamh in my pocket and I'm working on Vicky. Dezzy's been getting a little shaky though, one to watch there . Thankfully they'll never figure out my nefarious scheme.
