After Life is one of the funniest TV series ever. I mean that. This is British comedy at its quiet best. One of the episodes dealt with religion. A dangerous topic in other words.
Tony the prince of curmudgeons and his co-worker Kath have a discussion about religion. You have to pity Kath for agreeing to this, as it cannot end well.
Kath: You’re an atheist?
Tony: Right.
Kath: If you don’t believe in heaven and hell and all that, why don’t you go around raping and murdering as much as you want?
Tony: I do. I do go around raping and murdering as much as I want which is not at all.
George buts in: Because he’s got a conscience.
Kath: If death is just the end then what is the point?
Tony: What’s the point of what?
Kath: Why not just kill yourself? (this is exactly what he has been planning to do actually)
Tony: so if you’re watching a movie and you’re really enjoying it and someone points out to you its going to end eventually do you just then say ‘well what’s the point then and turn it off?’
Kath: No because I can watch it again.
Tony: Well I think life is precious because you can’t watch it again. I mean you can believe in an after life if that makes you feel better, but once you realize you’re not going to be around forever, I think that’s what makes life so magical. One day you’ll eat your last meal. Smell your last flower. Hug your friend for the very last time. So that’s why you should do everything you love with passion. Treasure the few years you’ve got, because that’s all there is.
Kath: I do. I watch Kevin Hart. I love everything about him and his films.
Tony: That’s good. You’re doing it!
Yup she got it all right. Watch this show and get filled with the spirit.
