Description :	IMPORTANT: I've decided to remove the other two parts, out of fear of being suspended for copyright infringement. But hold on with the stones & clubs there, ladies and gentlemen, as I've posted the complete file on Google Video, and I'm pretty sure it will linger there for the time being (Miller after all, is not such a big hit among the internet community). http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4314323750136013924 P.S. For those of you who contacted me asking for the whole file, you can download it by following the simple instructions @ http://keepvid.com/. Best Regards, Sergei Sir Jonathan Wolfe Miller, CBE (born 21 July 1934) is a British neurologist, theatre and opera director, television presenter, humourist and sculptor. He lives in Camden, North London. He is a Distinguished Supporter of the British Humanist Association, an honorary associate of the National Secular Society, and was appointed president of the Rationalist Association in 2006. [2] Miller was appointed a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1983 and in 2003 was Knighted for his services to the arts. He is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in London and Edinburgh, and a Foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2004, he wrote and presented a series on atheism, Atheism: A Rough History of Disbelief (on-screen title; but more commonly referred to as Jonathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief) for BBC Four TV, exploring the roots of his own atheism and investigating the history of atheism in the world. Individual conversations, debates and discussions for the series that could not be included, due to time constraints, were individually aired in a six-part series entitled The Atheism Tapes. He also appeared on a BBC TWO programme in February 2004, called What the World Thinks of God appearing from New York. The original three-part series is slated to air on Public Television in the United States, starting May 4, 2007, cosponsored by the American Ethical Union, American Humanist Association, Centre for Inquiry, the HKH Foundation, and the Institute for Humanist Studies. Bottom line - the archetype of the secular Jewish Intellectual.

When Jonathan Miller dies, the world will be a poorer place.

Absolutely. Lets hope its not for a while...

Jonathan Miller is a genius.

Well, I bet you don't actually know any 'average middle eastern types' to make a comparison. Pious atheists? don't get that one, but anyway the point I was making is that any fundamental / evangelical 'believers' can be 'turned' by those that want to achieve an aim.

In such matters, I would refrain from betting if I were you. I live in the ME and know enough of them. Apart from that, I've dedicated the last 3 years to studying these issues extensively, and would strongly advise you to do the same before you jump to hasty conclusions. An average Muslim takes his religion far more seriously than most Christians do, and the fact that you chose to mention Bush rather than Muslims in that context gives away your ignorance on what real religious fanaticism is.

That sounds much more interesting than what our 'Average ME racist' is putting forth, care to elaborate?

Caring is my second name ;), my friend. What precisely had caught your eye, that you would like me to elaborate on?

It's funny - my wife has been calling me an 'evangelical atheist' for a while too. I think what has happened is that the silent majority have realised that they can no longer remain silent. George Dubbleyah and the evangelical nutters in the states has many of us worried - that their insanity may actually bring about another 'dark age'... 'godforbid' lol.

If I were you, I'd worry less about Dubbyah and more about our Mulsim cousins who take their religion far more literally and are prepared to kill themselves in its name. The evangelicals of the US are pious atheists when compared with the average middle eastern type.

Thanks for posting these!
