I couldn't resist this video. Since I can't post links yet, go to YouTube and type in "Richard Dawkins what if you're wrong South Park", or just "Richard Dawkins what if you're wrong"

I gave up on finding "happiness" as the purpose of life. Happiness is a capricious and ephemeral feeling that' shard to hold onto. I think that seeking happiness is a sure-fire way to end up feeling miserable. I think that there are things that we want more than happiness, like immortality.
