Incoming mod title edit with "m'lady *tips katana*"

 

[Courage]

Interviewer is like "bruh..." lmao

 

[Log4Girlz]

I'd tip my Fedora at the Almighty.

 

[Makai]

Sounds like a good way to get smited.

 

[ponpo]

"Well, played my good sir. Have this uprate" *defeated tip*

 

[evangelion13]

He should have just asked "Why we still got monkeys?"

 

[SmithnCo]

Interviewer's reactions are priceless

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

Pretty much a perfect answer.

 

[Riposte]

God: "lol stop whining, scrub."

 

[Gr1mLock]

Sounds like a good way to get smited.

Smote. ..smitten?

 

[Majine]

Holy shit, the reaction.

Fry is a treasure.

 

[esms]

Interviewer regretted asking the question immediately.

 

[lastplayed]

As Riddick once said: Got it all wrong, holy man. I absolutely believe in God... And I absolutely hate the fucker.

 

[Servbot24]

pretty much the standard answer

it's a fair one though

 

[Dennis]

Damn, that was perfect.

 

[Log4Girlz]

No divine being can resist a high five. I'm getting in with style.

 

[speculawyer]

Smote. ..smitten?

There is no past tense for it because it has never actually happened.

 

[Lautaro]

Interviewer's reactions are priceless

Funniest part of the video.

 

[Sub_Level]

I can sympathize with hating insects.

 

[John Kowalski]

I hope there is no god.

 

[op_ivy]

thats.that.

 

[Nerdkiller]

God, it feels so weird as an Irishman to have people in this thread not know who Gay Byrne (the interviewer in question) is.

 

[Ashes]

Feels kinda odd coming from a manic depressive who would not get rid of his own suffering by pressing a red button.*








*if I recall correctly.

 

[Damerman]

Wow, what brilliance. I would never think of asking this. Maybe its because i was almost indoctrinated to think that Sin is our fault and that the world is as bad as it is because of sin...

 

[Hale-XF11]

Interviewer's reactions are priceless

 

[Blair]

^ lol

 

[Air]

Kind of tempted to change my avatar to this.

 

[Ianan]

^ lol

And thus a new reaction gif was born. Freaking love Stephen Fry

Youre stretching.

 

[Rootbeer]

I loved this so much.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Oh boy that was a wee zinger that was.

 

[Damerman]

I lost my shit when he reacted that way.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Holy fuck the reaction, lol.

[BennyBlanco]

What is this guy famous for? I've never heard of him outside of that one quote about being offended. Did he found reddit?

 

[Majine]

He's the gamemaster of QI!

 

[braves01]

Doctrinally, isn't original sin/expulsion from Eden the answer to all Fry's points? That leads to the question about whether inflicting the sins of parents on their children is right, however, so I guess you kinda end up in the same place.

 

[Prisoner]

Actor/comedian.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Kinda weird.

 

[Enosh]

eh, just the usual "well i would like totally flip off god, man!" response I have seen and heard a hundred times and quite sure I've said in my more militant atheist days

and I really question the sincerity of anyone that says it, I don't believe in God, but if I were to find myself one day in front of him to be judged, the very last thing on my mind would be insulting him and I doubt Fry, or any other person for that matter, would actually do it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry
comedian, actor, writer, presenter, and activist.
Famous from, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Blackadder, QI. He's also the narrator from LittleBigPlanet.

He's been a staple of UK TV and Radio for years. And often gets called a "National Treasure"

I'm not seeing the correlation here.

Just...what?

 

[Brakke]

"But there's evil!!??"

p boring, mr fry

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Good shit

No I'd Imagine Stephen Fry really means what he has said.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Why the fuck do we think life should have meaning? How dare we.

How dare we think there is a 'creator', and that we are given a place after death.

The gall.

I will never understand.

Is it fear?

and I really question the sincerity of anyone that says it, I don't believe in God, but if I were to find myself one day in front of him to be judged, the very last thing on my mind would be insulting him and I doubt Fry, or any other person for that matter, would actually do it

ok

It would be the 2nd thing on my mind after "Damn, I guess that nap I took was bad."

Think about it, if this Abrahamic god appears before you, a militant atheist, you already know you're going to die the second death. As such, you'd do it on your terms rather than any malevolent god. Airing greivances is always good for the mind.

 

[jellies_two]

they might just be reaction shots filmed later

because Gay Byrne..

"admitted that he’s getting less religious as he gets older: “I think that comes with reading and listening and finding out and all of that...I don’t know what I believe in...I’m not agnostic”."

 

[Ingueferroque]

Feels kinda odd coming from a manic depressive who would not get rid of his own suffering by pressing a red button.*








*if I recall correctly.

What the fuck does that have to do with the existence of god? Just because one believes there is no ulterior motive to life, no life after death, no heaven and hell, does not mean he does not VALUE his, or others lives.

If you need those stories to structure your own morality and empathy, you are a sociopath.
