Dawkins on Militant Atheism
February 29, 2012 at 9:27 am
I saw this one a while ago and thought I'd share - I think Dawkins is excellent but who knew he was quite funny too

I would recommend the TED website to all - Lots of interesting talks on many subjects. The ipad app is excellent too and allows you to download and watch offline

That was awesome! I think a billionaire should make it happen by hiring a plane and a load of ships to drop off cargo. Pay an actor to be John Frum.

I absolutely love cargo cults. All hail Tom Navy! :picks up a weapon and declares war on the Frummite heretics:
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Reading it in hindsight I agree its not the best, but you cant deny the impact it has and continues to have.
