A clip i found of Ricky Gervais talking candidly about atheism. I think he is amazing.

I don'y know... is saying we evolved by "accident" really all that accurate? Just because there's no goal or purpose doesn't make it an accident. Every effect still has its cause, so there's a certain connotation with "accident" I'm not thrilled about.

I liked that, seemed very personal, a stark contrast to the highly formal and intellectual content posted a lot. His values seem to be dictated entirely out of kindness, which is lovely, he also does not appear to harbour a lot of ill will, all in all, a quite appealing personal philosophy.
