INSTANT REGRET: They Mocked God, then THIS Happens

Popular comedians love to mock the Bible because they think it's ridiculous. However, their mockery falls short because they're missing some very important facts. In this bit, Ricky Gervais, an atheist, mocks the biblical account of Noah and the flood.

Creation, Atheism, and the Origin of the Universe

Long, long ago, when God first made the Earth... I'll let both those points slip, we haven't got time. Long, long ago, I should just say, is 5 ,000 years, according to the Bible. According to the Old Testament, the Earth is no older than 5 ,000 years.

But Ricky, as an atheist, you have no explanation for the origin of the universe, the origin of life, the origin of human intelligence, the existence of right and wrong, or belief in the uniformity of nature, while we, as Christians, do.

You're standing on intellectual absurdity, and you're mocking Christians?

Postmodernist philosopher Richard Rorty admits that the idea of absolute truth, and an absolute source of that truth, is coherent only in the context of a biblical worldview. This is what he writes. The suggestion that truth is out there, that is objective and universal, is a legacy of an age in which the world was seen as the creation of a being who had a language of his own written into the cosmos.

Which puts us around the time of the agricultural revolution. It's actually 4 .6 billion years old. Let's pop that in. 4 .6 billion years ago...

Well, the case for the Earth being billions of years old isn't as strong as you might think. The truth is, the science simply isn't definitive.

The fact of the matter is, there's actually more scientific evidence on our side than there is on theirs. And there's more presupposition on their side than there is on ours.

When God first made the Earth and sky... Alright, don't big it up. I mean, it comes as a package, really, doesn't it? The sky was never an optional extra. It could be, build you a planet, I can't breathe.

Would you like an atmosphere? Of course I f***ing would.

Um, Ricky, what are you even attacking? Who's saying the sky could have been an optional extra? The Bible is just teaching that God created a universe and Earth for humans to live in. And, at least, we have a creation.

You, on the other hand, have no answer for where the universe even came from.

Human Sin, Divine Holiness, and the Flood

So, everything was peaceful, everything beautiful. God made human beings, too. And he wanted them to be good, like himself. Arrogant.

Well, Merriam-Webster defines arrogant as exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate one's own worth or importance, often by an overbearing manner. So, one, God can't exaggerate his own worth or importance, since his worth and importance is infinite.

And, two, we would need to hear your evidence that God has an overbearing manner. Maybe don't interpret everything in the most negative light possible and just accept the perfect and normal interpretation that if God is good, he created humans to be good, then that's a good thing.

But, very soon, they wanted their own way. They would not listen to God. They became wicked and did wicked things. Look at them doing wicked things there. You can't get more wicked than that. Oh, f*** off, wicked!

F*** off, wicked! God looking on, yeah, carry on, see what happens. See what happens. Bloke there running off with a big bag of money.

Don't put it in a bank, you c***. How about mocking your creator, spitting in the face of the one who made you? How about blatantly refusing to follow God's good moral law you were created to live by?

How about making fun of a children's book picture to avoid acknowledging and dealing with your own sin? That sounds wicked enough to me.

God looked at them and said to himself, they are so wicked, I will have to wipe them off the face of the earth. Really? Straight to genocide. Because a fatty yellow trousers picked someone's nose. I mean, anger management, chill the f*** out.

Ricky, let's take a step back and consider a few things you are missing here. First, God is infinitely holy and righteous, which means, second, that any sin against God is infinite in seriousness, which means, third, that since none of us are perfect and all have sinned, we all deserve much, much worse than mere death.

The entire human race deserves hell. Fourth, that God allows any sinful human to continue living is a testament to his mercy and patience in giving us time to repent of sin and be saved through faith in Christ.

Regarding no one verbal and two written warnings, we continuously have plenty of warnings through the moral law that's written on our hearts that tell us we fall short of God's perfect moral law. Fifth, no, God isn't judging the human race.

Because a fatty yellow trousers picked someone's nose.

God judges the human race because of sin against an infinitely holy and righteous God. And sixth, God isn't reacting with anger the way humans get angry. God's wrath is righteous justice. He's simply giving us exactly what we deserve.

I read this book to Carl Pilkington, right? Who, yeah, he is an absolute, yes, he is my head like a f***ing orange, I know. But I got to this bit and I said, they are so wicked, I will have to wipe on the face of the earth.

And Carl goes, he sounds gay. I went, what do you mean? He went, some gays are a bit like that. He thought God was having a hissy fit. Like God's going, look what they've done. No, they're treating me like a c***.

I'm going to treat them like a c***.

Well, again, God's not having a hissy fit. God's giving the human race exactly what it deserves for sin and rebellion against its creator, an infinitely holy and righteous God. And again, what we deserve for our sin is actually much, much worse than just death.

And there are many of us who have lost an understanding of the radical nature of our sinfulness. And as a result, we've lost an understanding of the radical nature of the sinfulness of those around us as well.

I said, Carl, God is not gay. Read the Bible. He hates them.

Well, to be precise, God hates all sin, including your sin, Ricky. You need to repent and believe. Here, Chris Rock marks the idea that God doesn't make mistakes.

God's Perfection and the Seventh Day

The cool thing about religion is like no matter who you pray to, no matter what you study, every religion follows one basic premise, one basic idea that every religion follows. And that premise is God doesn't make mistakes.

Every religion believes that. Everybody. God does not make mistakes. I say God does not make mistakes.

Sure, that's one way of saying the idea that God is by definition perfect, holy and righteous. And you're absolutely right. We as Christians believe this. If you like this video, subscribe to help spread this message.

God don't make no mistakes. No mistakes. You ever read the Bible? What does the Bible say happened on the seventh day? Okay.

Um, really? Jokes don't really work when they make absolutely zero sense. You said, seems odd that a perfect being would rest. What's odd about God setting up a pattern for humans of work than rest? Everyone follows this pattern of work than rest, usually on the weekend, even to this day.

What's odd about God finishing creation and then resting from the work of creation? Honestly, I don't see anything odd about that at all.

Have you ever been performing a task, it was going perfect, and you took a rest?

Um, yeah. After I finish a task, I rest.

Well, what happened to you was you were performing a task, you f***ed up, and you thought, let me rest before I f*** this up some more.

Let's be honest. This just wasn't a funny or relatable joke at all.

God doesn't make mistakes. Hush your mouth. I've made plenty of mistakes. You ever see a porcupine? Can't eat it, can't hug it, ugly, sticky, shitting all over the place. Mistake!

Admittedly, this joke is a little funnier, but anyone with half a brain would recognize that just because something doesn't make sense to us, doesn't at all mean it's a mistake by God.

What about quicksand? Sand, you can drown it. You can drown dry. You think God meant to make quicksand? Mistake!

Well, danger and death are part of the fall, and they're meant to point us toward our weakness and need for a savior. Again, drowning dry is kind of a funny concept to think about, but definitely isn't even close to proof that God made a mistake.

You ever been to Mississippi? Mistake! Are you kidding me? Just a big hunk of racist dirt.

Of course, racism is sin, and so is mocking God and making absolutely terrible arguments for God making mistakes. But more importantly, the existence of sin and depravity isn't a mistake by God. It's part of God's sovereign plan to point us towards the perfect love of Jesus Christ, who saves sinners from their sins.

Kevin Hart, Mocking Jesus, and Reverence for Christ

Kevin Hart once told this joke about reading the Bible.

So I open it, and all of my rent checks fall out, and I just sat there with the dumbest look on my face. Call my mom. I said, Mom, I see what you did. You put it in the Bible. She said, Did you read it?

No, but I got the checks.

So Hart is fine with making jokes about not reading the Bible. From this, it seems pretty clear that Hart isn't a Christian. But then, this awards show, Hart continuously thanks Jesus, but in a really unusual way.

This is an exciting award. Look at Kevin Hart. Look at Kevin Hart. Thank you, Jesus. I just wanted to say it, because every time you say it, people go crazy. Thank you, Jesus! Uplifting the community.

Thank you, Jesus! He is real! He is real! Thank you, Jesus. To improve the lives. Thank you, Jesus, for the nominees.

To improve the lives of those they serve. Jesus serves, too. Thank you, Jesus. All right, in a minute, Kevin. Seriously. I just want to say that Jesus is in my life!

Is Hart mocking Jesus? Or is he actually thankful for Jesus? It really seems like he's mocking Jesus, but it's kind of unclear so far.

I was going to go to the strip club, but I'm not going to go because Jesus is here!

Ah, there it is. Hart used Jesus to make a joke about going to a strip club. There's absolutely no reverence or submission to Jesus here. Let's watch Bill Burr rage against what the Bible teaches.

Heaven, Hell, and the Justice of God

Nuts! Like, my religion, it's nuts! F***ing nuts! Like, my religion, like, the way I was brought up is like, you know, you can make it to heaven, but, like, some of your family members possibly couldn't, or some of your friends.

Let's just clarify that this is actually what the Bible officially teaches. It's not just the way you were brought up. There is no other version of Christianity. So we're not going to try to dodge your objections.

We're just going to tell you the honest truth.

It doesn't even make sense. Like, how am I supposed to enjoy heaven if that's the deal, right? Just sitting there waiting for my friends to show up like, Jesus Christ, where the hell are they? It's been like 150 years.

They must have eaten a lot of Brussels sprouts or some s***. Doing some yoga, right? And then one day it just settles in that they didn't make it. And then what? I'm still going to enjoy heaven, right?

Of course, we want our family members and friends to be with us. But if we truly understand human sin, God's holiness, and God's perfect wisdom, and we certainly will when we are in heaven, then even God's wrath and justice will be a source of joy for Christians who worship God in all his perfect attributes.

How can we have eternal joy in heaven if there are people who are being judged eternally in hell? How can we know that people are being judged eternally in hell and actually enjoy heaven? This objection is based on a carnal eschatology that sees heaven as merely endless supplies of whatever it is that makes us happy here and now.

We don't take into account that who we are in the here and now, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, is not fit for heaven. We will be changed. Amen? So the problem is, you are trying to use what it is that pleases you in the here and now and project that onto heaven.

Folks, listen to me. The justice and righteousness of God will be your all in all in heaven. And the eternal punishment of sin and God pouring out his wrath on sin is a glorification and magnification of his righteousness.

What else could you celebrate? It is just.

That you can't understand or accept this means you have an extremely low view of human sin and God's justice and righteousness.

Jesus coming walking over like, hey, how's it going everybody? Is this great? Is this great? Yeah, dude, it'd be even better if four of my family members and friends weren't burning for f**king ever.

Um, Bill, you're forgetting the part where anyone with that kind of irreverence towards Christ wouldn't be in heaven in the first place.

Just keep thinking of that there, J-Star. What do you think?

Bill, do you really think you'll be talking that defiantly to Jesus when you meet him? If so, you're very mistaken.

When the Bible says that God is holy, it is saying there is no one like God. God is not like us.

Hey, dude, I didn't ask you to come over. You came walking over, you big dumb sandal.

Hey, how's it going over here? Why didn't you come over here? I don't give a...

Dude, tell your dad. I don't give a f**k. Again, such utter and blatant defiance and mockery of God and Jesus. It's exactly this kind of rebellion that demonstrates God's justice and righteousness in punishing sinners.

I'm already in here. What, are you going to kick me out afterwards?

Um, no, actually. You would never have been in heaven in the first place. God's people love, trust, and submit to God.

I knew it was going to be like that. I knew it. The boss's son is the worst f**king sense of entitlement.

Now, if you actually made a good point, then this might be kind of funny. But the reality is that you have absolutely no clue about the seriousness of your sin, the infinite holiness of God, or the absolute submission and trust that God's people have in their creator and savior.

Repent and believe.
