Thanks for correcting me from your own personal belief and theological system and asserting it as 'the truth". /sarc
I never said that what we believe does not matter. I said its not simply a matter of what we believe. Some people think just because they believe in Christ, instantly they are not responsible for how they live. In scripture, its very, very clear that this is NOT the case.
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…
An atheist will not be able to cross a certain threshold, one that faith in Christ offers. But a Christian who does NOT do the will of our father in heaven may have crossed the threshold, but will find themselves in an even more difficult position than the ignorant atheist who still tried very hard to live in a way that is in fact, consistent with God's laws and truth.
Well, that's MY personal belief and faith in Christ and God, so make of it what you will. But frankly, even from your one comment I can see that I really don't care what your viewpoint is. It's clear that you live in a realm of dogma and theology, and not a living relationship with God and Christ. In my opinion.
"the most privileged people on the planet"
Important to recognize that people can still be atheists and be people of conscience. Gervais appears to have standards, and that's a good thing.
In the end, it's not simply about what we believe, but what we do with what we believe.
Wrong.. in the end, what he believes will damn him to an eternity of torment. What you believe matters, here and now, and for eternity.

But I wish you a nice day.
