I keep seeing this rubbish about cute little "atheist nightmares" that supposedly prove the existence of God, so fine: here's my latest TV pitch:

Now that Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares has hit America, it's time to take that concept and mix it with the success of The God Delusion, Root of All Evil? and others.

Thus, I submit to you:

Richard Dawkins' Atheist Nightmares.

Each week, Richard goes 'round to see if he can help budding atheists make that final leap and shed their unneeded belief systems.

Think about it:

Gordon convinces folks to use local produce; Richard convinces folks to find local groups that non-believe like they non-believe.

Gordon gets cooks to clean up their kitchens, which half the time are filthy; Richard gets people to tidy up their belief systems, basically showing them that they don't actually believe half of what they think they believe.

Gordon snaps people out of their culinary doldrums with tough love; Richard snaps people out of their spiritual doldrums with tough logic.

He's not converting the unwilling, mind you. It's just really hard to shed a belief system–take it from somebody who knows.

I think it would be a smash hit. Somebody pay me.

Please never breed.

Love,
Widge

Hilarious. While part of me agrees that it's kind of foolish to deny something that doesn't exist, the other part of me agrees that it's a great idea and please continue.

Jonathan Miller hosted a most excellent series on the BBC entitled A Rough History of Disbelief. In it, he interviewed a who's who of deep thinkers about religion and the lack thereof. It was such a kickass series that they came back with The Atheism Tapes, which featured expanded versions of the interviews they only took snippets of for Rough History. In this one, Miller sits down with physicist Steven Weinberg. Excellent stuff.

Crude but excellent video detailing prayer and why it's equivalent to a lucky horseshoe.
