Fun to watch these two chat. Is this part of a longer conversation that is available somewhere?

Ricky gervais...hmmmm I'm not really that impressed by the idea of celebrity endorsement, of course ricky is entitled to hold to the views he feels comfortable with, its just that I dont think he should frame the argument/discourse...thanks for posting this good video though.

It's not just a celebrity endorsement, though.  He's a freaking standup comedian.  Framing discourse is what they do.  He's probably a better public speaker than Richard Dawkins is.

and besides, what really is he endorsing?

Heh.  If you ask the theists, he's endorsing a dogmatic religion that leads to the Holocaust, which is just as much a faith-based position as their religious beliefs.
