Bullshit - Holier Than Thou

"Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason - our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in some one or some thing - that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the virtues - of all the supposed virtues - faith must be the most overrated."

-- Christopher Hitchens, in "Penn & Teller's Bullshit - Holier Than Thou"

If you have half an hour, check out this amusing episode of Bullshit, which takes a few whacks at Mother Theresa, Gandhi and the Dalai Lama.
