• Ricky Gervais And Step...
"You don't believe in 2999 gods, and I don't believe in just one more"
What a genius way of putting it 🤣
That is taken from Richard Dawkins in “The God Delusion” where he said ‘ I just go one God further’
what does he mean when he says that?
@@jarradlewis1717 That “Christians” deny the other 2,999 gods that other people believe in and only choose to believe in 1. Where an atheist just believes in 0 gods. So atheists are only 1 god shy compared to Christians
@@jarradlewis1717 it means that Colbert is an atheist with respect to 2,999 gods. He denies their existence and rejects any claims about them, which is exactly the same as Gervais. Ricky just rejects one more god than Colbert does.
That’s like saying there are 3000 steps to take you over the cliff. You took 2,999 steps to the edge of the cliff and I just took one more.
This entire segment should be watched. It is the most civil conversation between 2 people about religion ever. Polite respectful.and and informative and no name calling
Link?
@@damianvandenhaak I would but I don't know how to find it or put it up if I did
If you think this is controversial, you should watch conversations where people say there are only 2 genders 😂
@@Roryreacts literally nobody said it was controversial, in fact the comment was praising that it was so civil. You either replied to the wrong comment or you just needed any reason to reply with that.
It’s only civil because Nobody is actually contradicting Ricky or challenging his OWN illogical Beliefs!
Kratos: There were 3000 gods. Once.
lol
Wait until November 5 when he pays asgard a visit
Now there are only the two . . . YHVH of the Judaeo-Christian Revelation of the Bible, and "Allah" , the psychotic, vindictive, capricious and malevolent sock puppet of Mohammedism.

"I no longer walk with the gods"
They had such a respectful conversation about this without wavering a bit. Love to see it
He was careful too of the unknown for he knew and accepted that he was incapable of understanding the impossible just as anyone of us.
Not really Colbert was being a bit cocky and a dick until Ricky made him look dumb.
I’ve heard him talk about religion and he puts it in terms that make a lot of sense
Read my response!
He is not even correct on the definitions of agnostic or atheist! In greek a before a word means without! Gnostic is knowledge. Agnostic i to be without knowledge that GOD exists! Atheist on the other hand is to claim that there is no GOD not merely acknowledging that he does not know if GOD exists! He being an atheist incorrectly turns agnostics into atheists by his incorrect logic perhaps ignorantly.
You think so ? His point about everyone is basically an agnostic , well the rational evedence is actually the highest of value and if u can't accept it ,then you can't accept something like gravity or even your own existence. Also his point 2999 gods does this resolve the issue though ? If you assumed that there is a god between 3000 gods , that still means that there is god whether or not there is 3000 or 3 millions false ones. I mean, I appreciate the fact that he is open about his views, this way you can get a proper discussion though his arguments are so weak to be fair.
@@motarjamplatform4331 bro... The only weak point is that load of rubbish you just typed out
@@motarjamplatform4331 so if we don't accept that there is a God, we shouldn't believe in gravity? Something that has been proven to exist? This is the fundamental issue with religion, why would you think that of all the possible religions and possible gods, yours is the "real one"?
And what i loved his they had an entirely civil conversation after this clip ends.
Sarcasm? I didnt see the rest
@@ThomasK12J thankfully, not sarcasm
Another time gervais was on, catholic cobert got heated, then flipped quick when his audience applauded gervais' point. Was gross to see.
@@professormancaptain4210 not really. They’re actually friends IRL and while they disagree completely on matters of religion & faith, they were always respectful and civil of the other.
@@Cavball9 isl what you mean by not really, but it is in fact this same conversation that I'm referencing. 3:20 in
ua-cam.com/video/P5ZOwNK6n9U/v-deo.html
Religious people get too heated over others beliefs, which, for Christians, is ironic
That's a great point.
Nah fam it’s a grate ass
i wanna know are you a believer or not cuz it is rare to see a believer agree with an athiest even a simple task of left or right?
Not really- there is an infinite amount of numbers that are possible but that vastness of options does not have any bearing on 1+1 being 2. Just because you don’t think any other number is the solution doesn’t mean 2 must also be wrong.
That’s as bad an argument against monotheism as Pascal’s wager is for Christianity.
That's not a point, it is stupidity....
Not really. It’s either believing in your created’ness or not.
90% of the comments are about how kratos has lots of work to do lol
Richard Dawkins once said if you are a devout christian then you are a devout atheist to all other religions
Did he say that on the Family Feud?
@@1bcordell I think the clip is on the You Tube.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia You didn't get the joke.
@@1bcordell Sorry. I'm a bit retarded. I may have missed it.
Did he actually use the word 'atheist'? Because I don't think that would be correct in that context. If you're an atheist then you don't believe in _any_ God. I don't think you can be a selective atheist.
If he'd said that a devout Christian rejects as many gods as an atheist bar one, that would make sense.
It's so perfectly explained. Can you prove that? No. I didn't believe you then..... why are they allowed to act like that's so strange?
Kinda, but we can't see air, we can't see a certain illness that allegedly plagued the world the past two years, etc, but people get very very upset and some violent over others not believing in what they believe in over unseen things.
If it was that simple there would be no doubt for God not to exist. But what he does is actually using scientific method of proofing in the wrong way. Normally You make a hypothesis about something and an alternative one. If you have no evidence in favour of that hypothesis you can not say this hypothesis is wrong . You only are able to say according to my data I can not accept this hypothesis so I'll go for the alternative . You can not say the original hypothesis is generally wrong . It's called hypothesis testing you can search for this.
@@jimreimers4213 except for the fact both can be proven,and in the case of the Illness it can be seen,so...... Try again 👍
@@nikosnikolakis6991 he didn't say it was wrong he said I don't believe you
@@jimreimers4213 we can't see air is so dumb. Don't say things that are obviously wrong. You've never seen fog? Or dust? This is weak shit.
The most surprising thing about this interaction is that Colbert considers himself Christian.
Why does that surprise you? He's very open about his religion.
He's wrong, but at least he's open about it.
@@justmyopinion7269 wrong about what
@@justmyopinion7269 I respectfully disagree. Colbert is a Christian but also a rational human being, open to conversations with people who believe differently than him. We should all strive to be the same.
That's why he mentioned 3 persons: God, Jesus and the holy Spirit 🤣. And we are in 2022 💤😴.
“he’s wrong bu-“
bro trying to start a argument 💀
I’ve stopped caring. The pursuit of some afterlife no one will ever be able to prove or disprove is not worth dedicating my life to. I’d rather do good in my short time on this Earth.
Agreed!
Me too!
Oh boy you guys are in for a big (unpleasant) surprise
@@mutulica10 you are up for big one aswell, Black screen after death.
Same.
Despite me being a pretty devout Catholic, I still love Ricky. Even when he makes jokes at our expense, I think he’s a genuine guy and I respect him
It's so refreshing when you see that mentality on both sides of the isle. I'm personally atheist, but I think a lot of atheists are just to fucking militant and disrespectful. I absolutely make fun of religions, but never menacingly, infact I envy religious people, I see it as a blessing that you can be convinced about such things as an afterlife and a higher power that can influence your life. I'm left in the corner panicking about dying and can blame no one but myself if I think my life is shitty 😂
@@christianjensen952 hey man, thanks for the kind words! I agree, I wish we all could get along better. And given it’s the Internet people tend to be emboldened to shit on each other from both sides, although I will admit you are correct in saying *some* in the atheist/agnostic community have been more mean spirited. I’ve seen a great deal of religious who can be very vile to those of different/no religious views. So yeah people can be jerks but not all of them are.
Also, I’m sorry to hear that you think your life isn’t great. I hope it improves my friend!
Much love and peace!
@@clarkstrange2142 nah it's pretty good... Now.. 🙂 took a long while with self hatred to pick myself up again. Think it could have been a lot easier with Christ by my side 😅
@@christianjensen952 hey it’s never too late! And Christ for sure was by your side. Not trying to force anything, but I invite you to try and allow Him into your life!
Again I don’t want to sound like a televangelist or anything but I love your comments!
It wasn’t a joke
The way he explained this was actually really nice
To be honest, it sounds logical, but its absolutely horrible
@@Ryuk-apples Indeed. I'm sure Ricky has thought about his position a lot, but that logic falls apart when examined.
@@ryancroy in what way exactly does it fall apart?
@@ryancroy Seriously, this is not a statement that says anything. If you want to put forth why it falls apart, then you will have actually said something to examine.
@@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS Imagine you have a barn.
Someone looks at it and says a dozen people built it.
Another says that only one person built it.
The third person says that no one built it, and it just came to be.
The difference in 12 and 1 builder is just numbers.
The difference in 1 and 0 is there being no builders at all.
Atheism is fundamentally different than monotheism and polytheism, because those at least believe that one exists. So to just say "I only believe in 1 less" is just silly as an argument in context of polytheism and monotheism.
I’ve said this before; Stephen says, “you don’t know that though.” And to be fair, people who believe in God don’t really know if they’re right either. At the end of the day, it’s all about what helps us sleep at night on this tiny rock amongst trillions in the vast emptiness of the cosmos…
It's insane how many ppl I've met who are convinced that they have proven that existence of God. When I say it's a matter of faith, they get angry and insist they only believe in the trust. You can't argue with crazy.
I have proof of God giving me a sign that he let me take a picture of, I was having intrusive thoughts during prayer for the Kingdom of God and rebuked them and asked God if those thoughts were from him could I get a sign wrapped up my prayer and went outside to look for my daughter and a real white dove 🕊 got my attention from bathing in a puddle, I thought this is odd, this is the first white dove I’ve seen in real life either this is pure coincidence or it could be my sign, so I said Lord I hate to do this but if that white dove 🕊 bathing in the puddle was suppose to be my sign, could I get another sign specifically another white dove to confirm the first one, to confirm the prayer, walking back up to my house this cloud (profile pic) was above my house in the shape of a bird after the real white dove flew off, so yeah God is real, Jesus is The Truth I advise on looking into how to seek him God Bless you efforts
God is proven by logical arguments such as the ontological argument which is one of the best arguments for god it is crazy how most atheists say the same exact thing without mentioning any of the real arguments that we have

You can also just call yourself a human
I’m glad people like this comedian exists thank you
I like how Simon Pegg said it in hot fuzz: I'm not opposed to the idea of religion, I'm just not entirely convinced by it
where in the movie does he say it
If a certain religion helps you live a better and more positive life, I think that’s great. It helps a lot of people in the world.
I understand that, but I have yet to know any religion that hasn't massive downsides.
Institutionalizing superstition doesn't seem like a good idea to me, I'm sure addicts to some drugs also find positive aspects in their addiction.
Agreed. As long as it's kept personal OR freely agreed to by the whole society.
But when the religious wish to decide and impose public policy for EVERYone, we have a problem.
@@vejeke Not that I believe in man made religions, but the one that has made some sense to me so far is Jainism - and putting it here just because I think you are curious to learn based on your other responses.
@@maxakamaverick Two words, *Bal diksha.*
...Sam Harris often uses Jainism as an example that the problem for society is not the religious fundamentalists but the particular foundations of each religion, which in the end are the real soil that allows the growth of certain monsters.
He may be right, but as I said before I have yet to find any religion that does not have a dark side, as is to be expected when superstition is institutionalized.
Depending on the religion it can do more bad than good…

Top tier comment😂😂
Colbert does such a great job with this topic, and Gervais explains himself so well. Colbert asks questions to discuss and understand, and offers counterpoints when appropriate to share his side as well. It's a discussion instead of a debate. They're seeking understanding, and I love it.
Americans can't even find their right fathers. No wonder you struggle to find the right God.
Logic and analogy proves, every creation has a creator.
All praises to the ALMIGHTY ONE
To clarify, agnostic means "without knowledge" and gnostic means "to have knowledge" so an agnostic thiest is someone who isn't 100% sure god is real, but believes he is real. An agnostic atheist is someone who isn't 100% sure god isn't real, but believes he isn't real. This also works with gnostic, a gnostic theist is someone who is 100% sure god is real, and a gnostic atheist is someone who is 100% sure god isn't real.
This means that most people who call themselves "agnostic" fall into the agnostic atheist category and a good chunk of religious people, particularly those with doubts, fall into the agnostic theist category.
Thanks 4 clearyfing
It is just as, or more, reasonable to say that most people that call themselves agnostic are, in fact, agnostic. They say God may or may not exist, they are not sure.
Keep in mind, some people are religious atheists. They religiously believe there is no god.
And there are a lot of agnostics that pray to God when the going gets tough what is that.
@@stevendeans4211 1. If you don't hold the opinion that there is a god, then you by default are an atheist of some kind, because you don't believe in a god, if you're not sure then you're an agnostic atheist, if you're sure then you're a gnostic atheist. In order to be a true agnostic you would have to hold the opinion that god is real and that god is not real at the same time, which is a contradiction, you might flip constantly between atheist and theist, but being both at the same time is impossible.
Religious atheist is also a contradiction because religion is a set of practices or doctrine surrounding a god belief, and atheists have none of that. The only atheist "practice" is not doing religious practices, and the only "doctrine" is there is no doctrine.
@@stevendeans4211 “Religious Atheists” That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read all day. Atheism is not a religion and the only reason people are fervent atheists and rationalists is because the existence of religion. If there’s no religion there’s no atheism, by definition.

@@tiagorodrigues6284 Ok but I meant that it cannot be used as an argument against the universe having a god just because there are many people claiming that their god is the right one.

Science says the Big Bang is how we came to be. That nothing had something the size of a pinpoint in a vast nothingness compacted away an immense amount of pure energy, and matter. That pinpoint of energy at some point, with no physical concept of time, because it’s a void of nothingness, exploded and created a mass influx of gasses, minerals, etc. that over time happened to create everything. Planets, their gravity, their atmosphere, Earth being set ABSOLUTELY perfectly in orbit with the gravitational pull to hold Earth exactly where it needs to be in order to maintain various lifeforms (a mathematical impossibility according to science; aka an undeniable contradiction). If the Earth were to move quite literally even 1cm life would die on Earth. A creator isn’t a religion, it’s an absolute fact.
@@GageMason Christianity is not a religion, its a faith. However, everyone has a religion bc its a belief system of the world. Do you believe the earth is a spinning wet ball hurling through infinite space thats 10 to the -17th torr? If so, you believe in a religion called heliocentrism.
@@bobcat2840 why not follow all religions then? Just in case any of the other gods are actually real.
I grew up in a Christian home and I had a terrible experience. As I got older I questioned Christianity, and then later decided I was an atheist. For me personally I have had zero regrets and I don’t think I ever will. This right here was the best way to explain it. And it was so respectful.
Religion requires blind ignorance and obedience
Science demands intelligence and constructive questioning
So far every argument for god I have listened to, has taken unproven leaps of faith along their way to proving god exists.
I love this explanation. Makes perfect sense to me
Does it? Really?
@@morticiagomez6166 my childhood was spent being forced to attend Mass and studying religion in a church school.

I am a vegan to all the animals i don't eat. Makes perfect sense. Lol. No wonder you are an atheist
As a kid, I asked my old man why people believe in something they can't prove. He said that some people can't accept the world for what it is and need to believe in a higher power to shield them from the truth and responsibility of life.
It was deep but whenever I hear religious people talking about how much their god is responsible for in their lives, both good and bad... 🙄
I didn't know you could see gravity, but you know it's there. I didn't know you could see air, but you know it's there. I believe and have assurances bc I do. What a bet you are taking on not knowing and when reality hits, it will be to late for you. Sad, Jesus Christ paid the way all you have to do is accept and believe. People will try to say a loving God would never send me to he'll. You have a choice and if you reject it, it's not God's fault!
@@KBR3633 lmfao but you can experience both gravity and air, you'd expect by now that god would of create miracles again to people like in the bible or this second coming of christ after 2,000 plus years.

If all your scientific reasoning comes from sight alone that probably explains why you made such a silly point lol
@@KBR3633 Is it hard being a retard?
It has always blown my mind that people just follow their religion, from birth until they die, without questioning themselves or what is really true. Not saying they are wrong, and I am right. There is no way of knowing. But just because my parents or family is part of a religion, is that really finding God? Or knowing God? Isn’t religion and belief something you should gravitate towards for yourself and not just out of habit?
Some do. I grew up catholic and I’m now a Christian and it’s not because I was taken to a Catholic Church since I was a baby that I have faith and believe there is a God but it’s more from personal experiences.

Few people fail to question their beliefs. Most people run into doubt frequently, but perhaps not everyone is critical enough in every aspect. In my experience, though, it is atheists that rarely stop to question their atheism. That tends to be the case when a belief is built upon hubris.
Few people on this planet actually think their opinions through more thoroughly than stand-up comedians.
Ever met a religious comedian?
I mean...I can think of a few. Most of the famous (and probably a very large amount of non famous) philosophers of the last...5000 year or so. If you are talking about these days..I would say any apologist and a lot of debaters from all over the opinion-spectrum are probably also thinking through their opinions more than stand-up comedians.
What comedians do is simply to think a little more thoroughly than the average person, which is not very difficult, since most people don't.

@@jamiej5229like you did when you were homeschooled? Good argument
@@jamiej5229you're describing religion. Almost all religious people have been told starting pretty much the moment they're born to believe in god and to never question the bible. They're brought up going to church and praying and being told to just have faith in place of seeking evidence. They're indoctrinated with those beliefs before their brain has developed to know the difference between fantasy and reality, and before they're able to make informed decisions for themselves.
School teaches practical skills and encourages asking questions. School teaches critical thinking, logic, science, math, problem solving. It molds a person's brain so that they can quite literally think for themself.

Gervais is the flip-side of the American Evangelical-rabidly certain he knows it all.
Even if God existed I still wouldn't follow and the fact that he will send me to hell is exactly why I wouldn't follow. I want to be free not forced between heaven and hell
I've always been right here as well. Even if I die, And I get my time in front of god because wow! he actually exists.

Then some cunning person thinks "I could use this ignorance to my advantage", and tells everyone that God talks to them. It's a great way to acquire wealth and power. Organized religion is invented by humans.

That's a good point. Nowadays we look back at ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians, the Mayans and may more and almost laugh at their beliefs because "we know better" and "we know the truth". But the Christian and Muslim God is just another belief. There's no truth to religion because it's something people believe.
I for example do think something like a god exists but only because it may exists doesn't mean I have to worship it
Best response I have read
“We look back and laugh at people who used to believe in gods that we now know aren’t real.
I believe in god. It’s different though.”
"Laugh at their beliefs because "we know better" and "we know the truth""
Yes we all know that the earth isn't flat and we laugh at people centuries ago who believed so according to you we are wrong to believe the earth is a sphere because "is just another belief" while in actuality we can prove god exists as much as we can prove the earth is a sphere

Perfectly said.
You think so ? His point about everyone is basically an agnostic , well the rational evedence is actually the highest of value and if u can't accept it ,then you can't accept something like gravity or even your own existence. Also his point 2999 gods does this resolve the issue though ? If you assumed that there is a god between 3000 gods , that still means that there is god whether or not there is 3000 or 3 millions false ones. I mean, I appreciate the fact that he is open about his views, this way you can get a proper discussion though his arguments are so weak to be fair.
@@motarjamplatform4331 huh???
Not a single Christian can PROVE God exists.
Every human can prove gravity exists.
If someone says "I believe in god", believing is "assuming" and assuming is being agnostic. No one says "I believe there is gravity".
Now someone can say like "the earth is flat"
Because they are dumb and refuse to accept reality. But they STILL can't prove it. They only assume. So someone saying "god is real" is just someone talking out of there mouth.
He could have just said "twat" and kept it simple.

@@sirsupertaco5783I have to try this!
The goal of belief - isn't a constant reminder of one's disbelief in other gods... but a focus on the 1 that you are convinced is true.
Atheism can only focus on how much it doesn't believe in so many gods - for it has nothing to focus on an believe in. I say - live and let live... every human being has the right to choose.
In simple terms:
Agnostic atheist - Doesn’t believe in a god. Doesn’t know for sure tho.
Agnostic theist- Believes in a god. Doesn’t know for sure.
Gnostic atheist- Claims to know for a fact there is no god.
Gnostic theist- Believes in a god with 100% certainty
First sentence: oh, same!
The simple fact is, it doesn't fucking matter whether God or gods exists or not. 95% humans follow some religion, but I don't see any peace, prosperity or development coming from it. Infact religion most of the time has had the exact opposite effect. So I don't see how is this question even relevant. Even if a higher power exist, that has absolutely nothing to do with us.
Because thats what science is all about. Whether religion has brought more good than bad is irrelevant for them, scientists just want the truth.

We are creating problems which shouldn't exists by tangling up things which has no relation.

@Ir liz I disagree Liz, all we created was a new religion. Religions are not gods just as gods are not religions. Man created religion most definitely, I think we are both agreeing on that point.
@@jimreimers4213 but if the god doesn't exist then that's just another one of many ideas in the religion that was created by humans. Therefore the god themselves was created by humans. Now if the god exists then that's not true and the god is separate from their religion but given that thousands of religions exist and they all seem to contradict each other they can't all be true. So most of the gods that "exist" would be made up or created by humans out of necessity. Now maybe there's one god that's the exception to that rule or maybe they're all made up. Who really knows?
@Ir liz the only thing that shows is that there are people who will make up those kinds of stories. It doesn’t show that there has never been a god that has revealed itself to humanity nor does it imply that there is not a god that created man to begin with.

@@unhombreviejoconalas It’s too bad your god, Big Bang, doesn’t do NOTHING for you...
The rest of this discussion where he then talks about science vs religion is gold!!!
It’s a silly question:
“Can you prove that there’s a God?”
Christian: “No. I can’t. I can lead you to the evidence we have for God, and you can decide wether it’s convincing or not.”
“Proof” is the wrong term when talking about historical or philosophical “evidences”. Similarly, I can’t prove Julius Cesar existed. But I can show you the evidence that he did and you can receive or reject it. But it does get pretty silly when you reject evidences that are widely excepted by historians.
Easy answer: look to what the experts say about Jesus’ existence. Find out if the gospels are reliable. Find out if his claim of being God is true. Draw your conclusions from that.
Jesus isn’t God
@@Empress053 that’s who he claimed to be. And there’s evidence that he rose from the dead. I don’t know about you, but I listen to every word someone says when they rise from the dead.
You can't even prove Jesus existed. You absolutely have no evidence he rose from the dead.
Julius Cesar is of the past, so yeah, you can only proof of his being amongst us by pointing to evidence of what he made have done. But if God is omnipresent then you shouldn't be pointing to evidence of the past. You should be able to provide something that is not 1000 years ago.
@@Frandy4ever1
That’s a silly argument.
Clearly there’s other evidences we can look at presently, including the cosmological argument, moral argument, and a list of others. They support the evidence found in the history of the New Testament.
You’re using the word proof which is an inaccurate word to use on this subject. Obviously I can’t prove God to you. I can’t take some God and put Him under a microscope. “Proof” is the wrong word when talking about historical or philosophical evidences.
The right word is evidence. “What is the evidence?” We all have the same evidence and we have to decide what it is we believe about the evidence.
Based on the evidence (things both you and I can observe), like history and things we can study in our universe, I’ve concluded that God is the best answer to these evidences.
Whatever it is you have concluded, tell me why you concluded what you have and why you have dismissed the evidence I have.
Spot on Rickaaaaaaaaaay!🎉
The biggest problem with his argument here is that it contains a preconception of what evidence can be, wherein an atheist can then reject any evidence on the basis of its content, not its validity.
I also understand his point about the term "agnostic," but ultimately, that isn't what the term actually means. Agnostic refers to the group of people that are indifferent to the existence of God. You cannot simultaneously be an atheist and an agnostic because the atheist position is convinced that there is no God.
Wrong. Atheist means that you are not convinced there is a god and therefor dont belive in one.
@@fstimellom8882 It means you're convinced that there is no God.
I've played this semantics game many, many times over, buddy. Your definition isn't tenable. It's only ever an attempt to shift burden of proof away from one's self because you know you can't defend that God doesn't exist. I'm not talking whether God exists or not, rather that argument-wise, you have no argument.
Even the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy says that definition is moot and not representative of actual atheism-including the dichotomy of "agnostic/gnostic." It's just not tenable (which means not defendable).
