Ricky Gervais "If There Is A God, Why Did He Make Me An Atheist?"

-
After last night's final Gervais joke on the 2011 Golden Globe Awards  (Gervais: "And thank you, to God, for making me an atheist.")  I decided to check out some of his older work, starting with more of his thoughts about Atheism. 


I realize his parting Golden Globes joke, along with his beliefs, will no doubt ruffle feathers, however I hope some people watch his clip below to hear more about why he's chosen to think as he does.  It's refreshingly open and honest.  And, well, funny.  (Fancy that?)




Then I found this really fascinating, but extremely uncomfortable clip of Gervais interviewing Garry Shandling which is so odd.  I mean, really odd.  So, naturally I just had to include it.

Mysterious Skin: Amazing night of theater at East West Playersysi

And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night. I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them home (interesting choice of words, in r

I tried to flush Schaeffer's sweater down the toilet.

Especially when those paths go back even farther than high school.  I think he and I were butting heads as far back as elementary school! If my memory serves me right, Schaeffer and I ended up, briefly, in the Guilford Central School together.  Fall 1968.  Yep. I was a newly transplated girl from New Orleans dropped unceremoniously into a tiny, extremely humble elementary school out in the boondocks of southern Vermont.  I had NO idea what the hell I was doing there and was suffering my own case of "Other-itis."   I In my case, as an only child of often charming, but highly eccentric parents, my wild ride hit some very bumpy patches, More on that later. Back to Eric:  See as a newcomer that year to Vermont from New Orleans I had an accent.  I wore dresses and probably continuing too make my parents happy by literally curtseying to the adults they trotted me out to meet. Politely.  Of course.  That was my job.   I can promise you, however, once you curtsy to a farmer, y
