  As Tim Minchin has said:  "Science adjust its views based on what is observed.  Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved".

  So strange. In the UK no one cares or would ask anyone about belief. We don’t even require our politicians to to go to church.

  Would like to see more Ricky Gervais in this channel. He is not transphobic btw. Like George Carlin he makes jokes about everything and he doesnt care what people think about him.

  The &quot;Satan will be raping you&quot; was Stephen referring to a part of one of Ricky&apos;s stand-up routines. That video is called &nbsp;&quot;A Weirdo Trolled Ricky Gervais, But Truly Missed The Point | Netflix Is A Joke &quot;(<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPAMUrc0YoM&amp;t=462">7:42</a>), which is about dealing with a fundamentalist online, and worth watching. Colbert was just letting Ricky know that he had watched it. Also see Jim Jefferies &quot;Heaven and Hell&quot;.

  Ricky has a bit about someone telling him he&apos;ll be raped by the devil, so it was probably a reference to that. You should watch it, it&apos;s very funny.

  I believe, and maybe I make a mistake here, Ricky Gervais approach to trans people was:<br>If trans people wish to be treated equally, then shouldn’t they be subjected to the same jokes and comedy that everyone else is subjected to?

  The last response from ricky , &quot; That&apos;s why I am a good boy&quot; is brilliant if you get sarcasm behind it. It is like saying You guys need a fear of the devil and hell to be a good person

  The joke at the end about the devil r*ping you is a callback to Ricky&apos;s joke in the previous segment. Someone once tweeted that at Ricky and he has a funny response.

  🇳🇱 I adore Ricky Gervais. ADORE‼️<br>Critical thinking, sharp mind, wicked sense of humour. Lovely human being. He’s not trans phobic. He is very respectful! There is just nothing off limits. And that’s exactly why he is so good at what he does. One of a kind!

  Full respect to you for being an ex-believer. &nbsp;Devout agnostic here, with a decent dose of atheism too.
