The Australian reported Gervais closed the Golden Globes by thanking God for making him an atheist. By Monday morning NBC bosses had received complaints from dozens of managers of US television market areas. They questioned why NBC had not bleeped out his final quip as it would swearing.

"Religion in America is far more taboo than sex, drugs or Eddie's cross-dressing," said one sympathetic critic. "It's regarded as deeply impolite to mention it. It starts fights."

It's not as if those real Americans are pretending to be thin-skinned. This is not faux outrage. They are genuinely shocked that outsiders do not take Christianity as seriously as they do.

What do you think, was Gervais out of line with his closing comment or do Americans need to lighten up?

I vote B

For shits sake...its an oxymoron ya morons....a good one too :willy_nilly:
 
The people who were offended by this joke, regardless if he is an Atheist or not, need to stop worrying about God's honor. God can take care of himself. Keep in mind religious views are relative. In a country like Pakistan, dozens (hordes?) of "good" Muslims would feel compelled to murder him for such comments.
