Stephen Fry on God
|
Check out host Gay Byrne's reaction:
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
I love Stephen Fry. His answer was brilliant.
I love it - absofuckinglutely LOVE it - when people ask Fry a question they think is a stumper. BAM - he answers. No hesitation, no qualifiers, just a straightforward answer.
These feeps who interview Fry always seem to start with the misconception that they are smarter than he is. Boru
‘But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no gods. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.’ - Thomas Jefferson
In fairness, apparently Byrne always ends his show by asking his guests that question. He just chose the wrong battle this time.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!
I've seen guys who got kicked in the balls who looked like they were in less pain.
Serves him right for asking stupid questions. 
I wish it didn't cut off at the end, I bet his response went on longer than it showed.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it: If America can elect a Kenyan for president, we can elect a British atheist as president, too!

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
As long as we don't elect a fucking mormon.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
