Funny and insightful Ricky Gervais briefly shares how his fervent childhood belief helped his Mom keep him happily in line for years. I think many will identify with Gervais’ mother, and her use of religion to keep children under willing control. Much larger churches have done it to thousands, after all. There is always an older brother, or someone else who causes one to
start to ponder the uncomfortable questions. Gervais made his decision within the hour of a comment from his brother.
Believers who feel atheists and agnostics prefer the "easy way" are sadly mistaken as you’ll see from Richie’s remarks. Truly, who wouldn’t prefer to believe, and have all of the big questions and answers laid out for you for life.
