This video is awesome. It reaffirms just how tiny a space we occupy in the heavens:

About Me
- The Atheist Missionary
- I am a Canadian father, lawyer, columnist, skeptic and humanist interested in furthering a critical analysis of religious belief systems. The name "Atheist Missionary" is a sarcastic jab at religious fundamentalists. Atheists don't proselytize and are unified only by their freethinking nonbelief in the existence of a supernatural deity. In my preferred reality, philosophers would be treated like rock stars.

One thing that fascinates me about christianity is the imagary. The image of the baby Jesus and the virgin Mary. The image of Christ at the cross. The whole theology is replete with compelling images. Atheists bascially have nothing to compete with such compelling images. These images strike to the heart of christians. They are the life blood of christianity. Atheism is really nothingness in comparison. Don't get me wrong I'm an atheist. I just see that there is serious reason why people go for religeon. I did love the video. That's the kind of stuff that makes non-religiousness compelling. Carl Sagan had the right ideas. He could speak to the hearts.
