Giving his niece a terminally ill puppy for Christmas and saying “Jesus killed your puppy on his birthday because you didn’t spend enough on your uncle’s Christmas presents”
Genuinely ditto. His humor has sadly started at and remained "dumbass rebellious teenager" levels of understanding of the world, and it's just ... sad to see how far he's made it on fumes...
The whole idea of creating a race and giving it free will and independent thought so that each individual is free to choose and act as they decide it best... then genociding them because most of them decided to do things you don't like... and then after that object lesson in what an insane, evil piece of shit you are condemning anyone who doesn't use their free will and thought to decide to praise and adore you over anything else that exists? That's insane.
I spent the night with with cousins and their super religious mom a lot as a kid. She'd always make everyone go to church. She really wasn't a fan of hearing that I'd been explaining to other children that any being who acted like that should be called a tyrannical demon, and be something we all fight against not grovel to and obey to save ourselves from being tortured by.

Doesn't he also punch down?

Yeah I guess he kinda punched to any direction that annoyed him that day lol
But the "God is a cunt" sounds just what he would have said

I mean..
Have you read the Bible?
Yahweh's actions match domestic abusers exactly.

God's actions in the bible make domestic abusers look like playground bullies.

OK but where's the punchline? God is a cunt in most Bible stories...

Ricky Gervais, back when he was more tolerable to the average person, did a lot of jokes like this.
I can't think of any to be honest, because I never really saw his jokes as "jokes".

Ricky only speaks truth. Scathing, uncomfortable truth.

I mean, how can we punch down when we're already at the bottom?

It could be worse.
You could be a comedian with a political podcast.
