Ricky Gervais on Why He's an Atheist

"Why don't I believe in God? No, no, no why do YOU believe in God? Surely the burden of proof is on the believer. You started all this. If I came up to you and said, 'Why don't you believe I can fly?' You'd say, 'Why would I?' I'd reply, 'It's a matter of faith.' If I then said, 'Prove I can't fly! Prove I can't fly see, see, you can't prove it can you?' You'd probably either walk away, call security or throw me out the window and shout, 'F—ing fly then you lunatic!'"
