Sam Harris, described as "the lovechild of seth green and ben stiller" (which had me staring at him the first two times i watched this), uses an analogy of Elvis to God that I think is superb. Religulous status. Enjoy.

in regards to the importance of language and communication
At the American Jewish University, Sam Harris and Rabbi David Wolpe debated their beliefs. Submitted online January 7, 2008, both men make it a point to restate their words. Specifically when the Rabbi says, “No, I shouldn’t say it like that,” and rewords his phrase. Later in the debate, Sam Harris argues that he sees the Rabbi as a reincarnate, to which the Rabbi responds, “I was someone famous, don’t make me as like a washerwoman or something.” If both of these men take the time to consider their language choice, and even correct themselves when need be, why would he make such a pompous claim?
