Also, Dawkins expressed his problem with the word choice. Your paraphrase was slightly inaccurate because he was asking "Isn't it a leap of faith that atheists decide "absolute" morality". Well, "absolute morality" is describing a known morality that is simply acknowledged and accepted by everyone. (This is at least how I understand the term, anyway.) I don't recall any atheists stating that they know a morality that is absolute in that regard. So the answer is yes, it *is* a leap of faith. But again, the question is ridiculously flawed, and Dawkins does well breaking down why.

@lampishthing - "I don't think I want an absolute morality. I think I want a morality that is thought out, reasoned, argued, discussed..." And afterwards, as you briefly stated, he then goes on to state that in today's society, we find morality completely outside of religion by simply deciding right and wrong. So ultimately, he is saying religion is irrelevant to how we obtain morality, therefore, he shows the question is moot and doesn't have an answer because the question itself is ridiculous. I think he answered it quite thoroughly.

You could argue that Natalie Portman was famous years before that movie. She co-starred in Leon- The Professional. Great movie, too.

I *thought* the guy in the beginning looked familiar!

Oh man... Hate when that happens. Just enjoying a nice afternoon and a good burger then *BAM*, tornado steals it.

@JAPR Agreed.

I know I am probably going to get lynched for this, too, but a girl's dancing doesn't have to be sexy to be good.

Like @spoco2 said, he comes off like he's trying wayyyy too hard to be edgy, and he seems like a dick.

A dog showing it's teeth is commonly an act of submission. The dog is very ashamed and sorry.

I hate the kid that kicked a hole in. Kids always ruin the fun.

This makes me realize just how truly consistent the world really is. I mean, wouldn't it be crazy if for just ten minutes, random laws of physics and nature just stopped? And then the world went back to normal as if nothing happened, and nobody knew how to explain what happened.

I like the way the words roll out of her mouth, leaving room for..

Oh wow. New Elder Scrolls AND Mass Effect dated around the same time? Oh my... I'll say goodbye to my loved ones, and reassure them that I'll resurface some day...

Yes, Yes, oh god YES!!!

So we're SURE this isn't Felicia Day?
