Ricky Gervais On What Counts As An Act Of God | Universal Comedy

[@carolking6355]

How I would love to watch a whole show. Ricky will never get to New Zealand these days and I will be 80 this year and so ill. He has helped me through the death of my husband of 58 years.

On a tangent. I live in an area where, during periods of drought, the locals actually have official praying for rain events.

Hi Butch. Can I ask: If God doesn't exsist, why do some Atheists feel the need to mock a non-existent Being, as well as blame Him for the bad stuff that happens (like natural disasters)? If He doesn't exsist then He can't be to blame, right? Just curious as to why some Atheists do this. P.S a lot of Theologians, historians, and scientists with P.H.D's would disagree and say that God does exsist, due to extra Biblical testimony from numerous 1st Century non-Christian historians (Josephus, Tacitus, Thalleus, Pliny the Younger), archaeological discoveries, moral, theological, and philosophical arguments for the existence of God (such as the Ontological argument or the Cosmological argument). God is not the invention of ancient, ignorant man, an outdated religious concept, a localised deity, a 'sky daddy' or a 'flying spaghetti monster' (as Atheists erroneously believe Him to be, a myth, a fabrication, or a legend of antiquity): Rather, God is the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Self-Existent Creator, sustainer and Judge of the entire universe, as the Bible describes Him to be. Just sayin'.

[@enterthebruce91]

@@capitalb5889 We live in a fallen world, God has His reasons but one day will put a stop to all evil and suffering. God has given man the free will capacity to make good and bad choices. God is not to blame; so there's nothing absurd about acknowledging an Omnipotent Creator God's existence. God doesn't control every miniscule aspect of human behaviour like some kind of cosmic puppet master. The presence or existence of evil doesn't negate the exsistence of an Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent eternally Self-Existent God. I just find it strange how Atheists blame a non-exsistent God for all the evil in the world, it's a logical fallacy to blame someone Atheists claim doesn't exsist. Why not just blame random evolutionary mutations for all of the world's problems, considering that's the Atheist worldview as to how life came to be? Blame nature, evolution, and random chance-not God.

[@capitalb5889]

@@enterthebruce91 atheists do not blame god for the world's ills - we are fully aware that that the world is just random. If your kid gets cancer, it's just bad luck. Even cancer doesn't have a will. It just does what it does. The blaming god just holds up the reality is that life looks just like there being no god at all. But if there was a masterplan with an all powerful being who allows children to get cancer, he sounds a bit negligent. To clarify, atheists do not believe in God so do not blame a non-existent being for crimes which he could not possibly have committed. Of course, if he did exist, he sounds like a monster, but luckily he doesn't.

The term 'Act of God' is just a metaphor for a natural event that no one can be blamed for. It doesn't literally mean they blame God (who doesn't exist by the way).

Insurance companies should still be on the hook. They make enough profits.

[@betamusic5487]

@@DuchessofEarlGrey they 'make enough profits' by doing everything they can to avoid paying out. Insurance is the biggest scam going. Well, that and pensions.

[@DuchessofEarlGrey]

@@betamusic5487 Exactly. Which is why they should be on the hook for "acts of God." My town flooded this past November and people with "flood" insurance aren't getting covered because it's "overland flooding." It's a deliberate misnomer, covering only burst pipes or sewer. People who live in a flood plain generally can't get overland flood coverage unless they sell their soul for it, but *I* can get it even though I'm almost a click away from the nearest river, and on a hill. If overland flooding gets to my house, THEN I'd call it an act of God because bloody Jesus it would be the end of times.

[@betamusic5487]

@@DuchessofEarlGrey Well, they make the rules and the customer agrees when they sign up. The acts of god are all in the small print, no doubt, so saying they should be 'on the hook', well no, because it's what you signed up for.

[@DuchessofEarlGrey]

@@betamusic5487 But they don't make the options clear. Like the flood example. "Yes, you have flood coverage. But actually no." Yeah, it's up to the customer to ask, but it still feels slimy to me. I've been meaning to ask them what kind of fire coverage I have. An electrical fire in a house that burned down the whole neighbourhood? Probably covered. A wildfire started by lightning or cigarette or downed power pole? No clue. My coverage package is rather vague. They did mention terrorist attacks multiple times, though. Glad that's cleared up -.-

Albert Einstein and his Chauffeur had been together for so long they even looked like each other. Albert got tired of answering the same questions over and over again. His Chauffeur suggested that they change places because he had memorised all the answers and Mr. Einstein could enjoy a Rest. So they switched and Albert rested, whilst simply driving the Car. Then one day someone asked an unusual question to which ‘Albert Einstein’ not knowing the answer said “that question is so easy, I believe I’ll let My Chauffeur answer it”.

@@organicleaf Ah ok well practically all of the leading scientists involved in the Scientific Revolution - the enlightenment - the birth of modern science - were active Christian Theologians. They STUDIED theology in a professional capacity in a way the complemented their scientific study. They were not merely going along with the trend - of which there was none (only in your imagination) - they leaders of science were also the leaders of the Christian faith. This will be inconvenient and disconcerting news to you, but it is nonetheless the TRUTH. Stephen Hawking was the recipient of miraculous long life - if that could not convince him them no amount of logic or reason would. But Newton, Liebnitz, Maxwell, Volta, Ampere, Watt, Hertz, Bohr, Dalton, Faraday and VERY many more were all ACTIVE Christians, preachers and theologians. Truth
