I guess he's pissing off the slacktivist Christians who'd rather pray than actually do something useful:

Ricky Gervais says actually do something for Oklahoma

What a deplorable age in which we live where people believe closing their eyes, mumbling nonsense, and liking a Facebook post is better than actually doing something to help others.

"Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer."

I'm just waiting to hear the claims from Christians (other than the Westboro Baptist Church, naturally) that the tornadoes were sent by God as punishment for the recent changes to the law in Minnesota & other states allowing gay marriage. Because as we all know, when God is pissed off at heathens in Minnesota for allowing gay marriage, he smites the faithful Christians in Oklahoma.

And if prayer were actually useful, why don't people just pray that God prevents (if he doesn't cause natural disasters as some Christians claim) tornadoes from hitting Oklahoma (and elsewhere) in the first place?

Quote:and the way the money is handled by the Red Cross, I promise, prayer IS
more effective. when the earthquake happened in Hatti, they did the
same, "text $10 to Red Cross"(easy way to pat one's self on the back as
well), after a certain amount was collected in Hatti's name, the Red
Cross decided enough had gone to Hatti, and would use it in other
capacities, but were still collecting under the guise of still
promoting, "text $10 to Red Cross". Prayer works, things happen for a
reason, even if we dont have the understanding.

And there are
people in OK, right now, with nothing material left, thanking God and
praying to God......even if you dont believe in Him, He believes in you.
God heals and restores.

Best reply to this clown was some guy asking if she could point out where "Hatti" is on a map. Lol.

My favorite part of the OK debacle was 'rape joke' Doug Stanhope being the one to set up a successful money campaign for the woman who declared herself an atheist.

I hadn't heard that A+'s had arranged anything for her.

God has bad aim?

Or could it be that tornadoes form where the conditions are right for them to form and it has nothing to do with any fucking god?

If she knew where it was, she would probably have been able to spell it correctly.

Damn my iPad autocorrected it to Haiti kind of ruined the humour

I went to Moore a couple days after the storms. I saw countless numbers of churches out there helping out. Didn't see any atheist groups, unfortunately.

Jus' sayin...
