Ricky's Religious Rant

How had I not discovered this earlier? Ricky Gervais, now America's funniest man, discussed his role in The Simpsons this time last year with Simon Mayo on BBC Radio Five Live. What started as a routine interview turned into an all-out theological debate with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams (proved to be an idiot, here). I'm sure Ricky was withholding himself as best he could due to the way he stutters and concedes various points that he otherwise wouldn't. Still, a rare example of someone expressing their beliefs in the face of a formidable exponent of the enemy (with a lot of people listening in).
