Dear Ricky,
There are so many scenes in AFTER LIFE that illustrate that we are all screwed up and need fixing. Let me give you 3 below.
Below is a scene with Holli Dempsey playing a Botox lady who had several plastic surgeries that went wrong and she was not even 30 years old yet. Lenny and Tony are there to interview the Botox Lady.
Botox Lady: I think I got a problem.
Tony: Yeah. I mean it might be like an addiction.
Botox Lady: You mean it might I can’t help it?
Well I guess so, but if you acknowledge it there is a chance you can get help.
Botox Lady: Do you think I am mental?
Tony: No more than the rest of us. As I say we are all SCREWED UP in one way or another. It makes you normal.
Botox Lady: (She makes a sound that could be a muffled laugh or crying.)
The problem is that we live in a fallen world and we all are sinners. Read again these words: Botox Lady: Do you think I am mental?
Tony: No more than the rest of us. As I say we are all SCREWED UP in one way or another. It makes you normal.
The Man Who Was Putting His Mail In A Trash Bin

After Life Season 2, Episode 5 recap: The Revue by Wade Wainio
Episode 205 of Netflix’s After Life is awkward entertainment.
In After Life 205, Tony (Ricky Gervais) must still face the eccentricities of his job. This time, he and Lenny (Tony Way) interview a man (Steve Speirs) who’s been erroneously putting his mail in a dog waste bun, due to his bad eyesight.
It gets sadder and weirder when he admits he thought the stench came from himself. He also mentions he never had any relationships due to low self-esteem, knowing that any woman would leave him.

Brian: You are not pathetic, sir!
James: Proper loser.
Brian: Not compared to me though. You’re joking, aren’t you? No. You can sing, dance. Play two recorders with your nose. You can knit. You’re great with wool. You’re great with wool. If you’re a loser, what chance have the rest of us got?
James: Cheers, mate

Francis Schaeffer noted that we live in a fallen world where we are are sinners (or losers), but the Bible tells that Christ came and lived a perfect life and took tge punishment for our sins!
THE GOD WHO IS THERE, (DOWNERS GROVE, IL: INTERVARSITY PRESS, 1968), P203.
We do not need to bear our guilt, nor do we even have to merit the merit of Christ. He does it all. So in one way it is the easiest religion in the world. But now we can turn that over because it is the hardest religion in the world for the same reason. The heart of the rebellion of Satan and man was the desire to be autonomous; and accepting the Christian faith robs us not of our existence, not of our worth (it give us our worth), but it robs us completely of being autonomous. We did not make ourselves, we are not a product of chance, we are none of these things; we stand there before a Creator plus nothing, we stand before the Savior plus nothing — it is a complete denial of being autonomous. Whether it is conscious or unconscious (and in them most brilliant people it is occasionally conscious), when they see the sufficiency of the answers on their own level, they suddenly are up against their innermost humanness — not humanness as they were created to be human but human in the bad sense since the Fall. That is the reason that people do not accept the sufficient answers and why they are counted by God as disobedient and guilty when they do not bow.
Let me go back to the Botox lady.
Botox Lady: Do you think I am mental?
Tony: No more than the rest of us. As I say we are all SCREWED UP in one way or another. It makes you normal.
Botox Lady: (She makes a sound that could be a muffled laugh or crying.)
The problem is that we live in a fallen world and we all are sinners. Read again these words: Botox Lady: Do you think I am mental?
Tony: No more than the rest of us. As I say we are all SCREWED UP in one way or another. It makes you normal.
That is absolutely true. The Bible says:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23)
The Romans Road Bible Verses
1. The Human Problem (Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23, and Romans 6:23)
The first part of the Romans Road confirms the state of every human as sinful and the state of God as holy.
- “As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;” (Romans 3:10)
- “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23)
After establishing that “all have sinned,” the first half of Romans 6:23 explains the depth of this problem and its consequences.
“For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23a)
However, the second half of the verse hints at the hope sinners have for salvation through Jesus.
“…but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
2. Humanity’s Hope in Christ (Romans 5:8)
The second part of the Romans Road further explains the hope we have in the love of God expressed through Christ.
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
3. The Sinner’s Response (Romans 10:9-10 and Romans 10:13)
Once we understand our need for a savior and recognize that Jesus Christ is that savior, we can respond by moving along to the third part of the Romans Road, calling out to Jesus.
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” (Romans 10:9-10)
This response is possible for everyone. Romans 10:13 expresses God’s ability to save everyone. (His intention to save everyone is further expressed in John 3:16-17)
“For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” (Romans 10:13)
4. The Result of Salvation (Romans 5:1-2 and Romans 8:1)
The fourth part of the Romans Road mentions two results (peace and justification) after a sinner decides to declare and believe in their heart that Jesus Christ is Lord. Romans 5:1-2explains that through faith in Jesus Christ, sinners can enjoy peace with God, no longer separated from holy God by sin.
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.”(Romans 5:1-2)
Romans 8:1 rejoices in the result of salvation. Before faith in Christ, all who have sinned were condemned by their sin and destined for death. But now with faith in Christ, “there is no condemnation” (Romans 8:1) and believers are gifted eternal life with God (Romans 6:23).
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,”(Romans 8:1)
The answer to find meaning in life is found in putting your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. The Bible is true from cover to cover and can be trusted.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
