but also for you because anyone who follows you on Twitter and you have a
huge following
they'll know that you are a pathological atheist
and therefore before to death is very final field for me
yeah good Irish Catholic boy it's the start of something new and glorious
for you that's it into means the end of something glorious
so I have to pack it all in but you know
are I'm I'm not depressed about it I don't wanna die any more than anyone
else
and I think this is strange mister it. something to live for
just the opposite we have nothing to die for we also live we have to say
everything to live for yes
yeah I would imagine you have a more focused attention to life because
you think ends when you die i think is precious I think it's beautiful I think
the world is amazing I love people
animals art every hobby icon
I can't believe my luck I'm alive for the seventy or eighty years more and
more
what he lacks I I'm not long for this world
my used as I guys who try to three his I think was forty years we're going on a
long trip is
I what are the EC things you like what are thus
the things that really annoy you un I only two things really really make my
blood boil
i spose I suppose in general as the outer injustice
injustice quietly much about boy I the personal social
political I'm you know past no
am I suppose the two two main categories are
are religious intolerance this this arrogant step
that you think you know arguing over who's got his right
solve gets me down a bit you know and ago I got no for me spiritually
I really haven't in a %uh that's another myth and I also am a difference
clear between spirituality and religion was a very personal
feeling a journey hope or whatever I need
you know a joy and the other
is in organized body that you stop for power
and and corruption in in my in many cases
in many cases I'm and are
in our I don't have either I'm eyes
I dice I spose I i think that I'm
I'm when it affects me that's what I have a sign in
and religion affect me religion's very well expect which one it doesn't really
affect
funny I really like pretty much
everything that he said there so the best part without a doubt was that great
quote
somebody needs to mean this up right now if he is have nothing to die for
we have everything to live for I could not agree more
look if you're non-religious and you admit
that you are you don't think anything happens when you die or you don't know
what happens
not i mean you're gonna love this life like its your own life you're gonna look
for meaning
right here in this world you're not
postponing meaning until you have died to maybe have meaning in the
afterlife you're focused solely on this world
you know that means you're probably gonna work really hard finding you're
passionate about really try to live every
moment in every day to the fullest and that is exactly right
and it's so ironic that atheists and people who are non-religious
it's the exact opposite stereotype in mythology that's out there
like all your godless Solis you don't care about anything you're
nihilists not true at
all we find almost all OVR meaning on
on this world that backed by definition we don't know we're also look we know it
on this world
that's not to say that every APS agrees with me and agrees with
a you know Ricky Gervais on this but I think it's a safe to say
likely a majority would agree with that but than the other point that he makes i
think is related to that point
which is that he says injustice makes blood boil what if you are living on
this world and you think that this is your only chance at being a
conscious century bean think guess what
you are gonna get mad injustice you're gonna get angry about it because you
want to make this world as close
to the idea or the perception of so-called headin as you possibly can
make it
because I get this is all you live if this is all you're ever gonna know
why not try to make a small beautiful experience ever this is your entire time
on this planet
oh and then the last point out there some
eighty years that would disagree with this %uh but I actually I
I think he's on a person right he says look I really don't have an issue with
spirituality
that's fine that's your own thing I we have an issue with organized religion
now I say the same thing actually spirituality I might be a little bit
more of a downer on than he is
because spirituality i think is largely made up right I don't think it's genuine
i think is people who are just weird
saying oh I Mon connecting to like the other senses in the world in the spirit
like no no I don't think I think it's fake again up a grudging you you could
do that right and still better than organized religion
which has more dog might ask to it but I say that about DS what he says about
spirituality I said about being
I have no problem with the highest I got a lot of friends or de este think well
yeah I think there's a God while I don't think you got any particular religion I
don't know
anything about him I don't really know if there's a God but I just I think
there is I think there might be something more there have to be
something more
but that's fine man the only issue I have apparently the only issue the Ricky
Gervais has two
is when you say I am part of this clan for this
sect this religion wetherbee islamic Christianity or Judaism Hinduism or
Buddhism or any of them right
because a inherent in doing that
its exclusive by definition like I am right
about the existential questions you have to be wrong and even if you are moderate
and you're not a hardliner like that
you are still but tacitly admitting
spent you know what the Bible's more less I'll write
or the crime is more or less right and then if you say well look I don't agree
with any other woman is why you're not religious Europe or that group
and the problem is not those holy books for anywhere near
factually correct we can show you we can demonstrate that the claims they make
are demonstrably and verifiably on true
so there's no reason to be a member of any of those groups
and he's right unfortunately too often actually push themselves in the
our political sphere wanna be taken seriously and they affect policy and
that is
unacceptable
