I also like Ricky gervais and Dawkins of course. Oh and geddy Lee and Neil Peart. Lately thought I have following other people though dealing with gamergate and the sjw censorship that seems to be spreading everywhere. Honestly though I don't really care for people where atheism is their claim to fame because even for myself its not that big of part of who I am. So I tend to like atheists where it clearly influences them but they do other things like geddy Lee, billy Joel, Ricky gervais, brad Pitt and the like.
Richard Dawkins' real claim to Pjme is The Selfish Gene and his other numerous popular science books on evolution. The God Delusion, a late work by comparison, may have made him way more famous and wealthy, but you can't really hold that against him. That would be like reducing Metallica and Zeppelin to their two uberfamous ballads
Oh definitely true. Plus he is a very talented communicator, which is what I think is the underlying thing between all those accomplishments. Some people can understand things through and through and not be able to explain worth a shit.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
