You'd have to ask him

You'd have to ask him

He gave an interview to the wall street journal so it's probably clearer there than trying to separate performance from substance on a YouTube video.

Mind you, my interest in pursuing this thread is likely to wear off before I "get on stage" as it were.

He always seems pretty consistent to me. Either way, his utterances resonate with me.

Thought you'd already checked out reply#2

Here he is in the Wall Street journal it’s 14 years ago but if , as you say, he always seems pretty consistent, it should still be representative of the man

Gervais from the previous article

People who believe in God don't need proof of his existence, and they certainly don't want evidence to the contrary.

Evidence? What type of evidence is he talking about?

I don't believe in God because there is absolutely no scientific evidence for his existence

So then. What is the scientific evidence to the contrary?

One or two horses laughs, one or two times I thought “I’ve never come across these people and I doubt you have”.

If 'God' is an incoherent claim about which nothing meaningful can be said, because there is nothing specific enough in the form of credible evidence to rebut - then there can be no 'contrary evidence' no matter how often you ask for some.

Therefore 'God' is an unfalsifiable and meaningless claim that is easily dismissed as nonsensical.

Show incoherence.
