Piers Morgan vs Ricky Gervais
Offline Their was a good little interview between Piers Morgan and Athiest Ricky Gervais about his athiestic jokes said at the golden globes. It's interesting that Piers Morgan is no bafoon, he's an intelligent reasonable business man, yet when it comes to god conversation, he comes of like a dumbdumb.
Piers: "You were religious up untill you were 8, what happened?"
My awnser would have been: "I grew up."
This comment goes good with the are babies/children athiests thread. I find it retarted to call a 7 year old "religious," and then ask "what happened," as if any 7 year old has the mental maturity to even understand what they believe in when it comes to god claims forced on them by their parents.

Gervais is brilliant. Loved this interview. Honesty is the most important thing to him, which I am coming to believe is a key atheist trait. I have been posting on a number of christian websites. It seems they recognize they have an agenda and honesty is not a valued trait.
Not to impressed with Piers as an interviewer.
Religion Kills !!!
Numbers 31:17-18 - Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

Ya, he's funny.
I like his bit about how he found out that god was a lie.

I keep asking myself " Are they just playin' stupid, or are they just plain stupid?..."

I saw only part of Piers Morgan on CNN yesterday afternoon. Would love to share it with you - he interviews the priest and the daughter of a woman who was exorcised.
I would really like to watch it properly --- what intrigued me was the footage of the exorcism (and the priest reassured us that all medical tests had been done). It really looked cruel and unusual to me: this elderly woman being bound to a chair was in spasms while a group of clerics in their robes stood round chanting.
What was disturbing is that Piers kept telling the daughter how distressing it must have been for the daughter to watch this: and then went on to report back that it took 16 EXORCISMS! I've tried to get the link on youtube, facebook and cnn - if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it please.
What Would Jesus Drive? Well, God preferred an old Plymouth, "God drove Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden in a Fury"; Moses was said to ride a motor bike, "the roar of Moses’ Triumph is heard in the hills", while the apostles would carpool in a Honda, "the apostles were in one Accord".
