I always thought if there was a God, and that he could talk - David Attenborough's voice would be the voice of God. And if God says that people who believe in God are talking shit then it must be true.

All hail the Lord Attenborough Almighty! Praise be to David!

his documentaries are awesome, recently I watched "First Life", highly recommended, talks about how life may have began in the planet.

Love this quote, hate this picture. Someone took a screen grab where, for a moment, his hands formed the required shape, and it's being used in an uncharacteristic portrayal of the man.

He never showed a finger in a video, this is only a frame where it appears to be so. He's an extremely modest person.

That picture of Attenborough flipping the bird is fantastic, even without the text.

But...but...dontchya know?!?! Those horrible heathen Africants deserve to be disease riddled, poor, and uneducated cause they aren't christian! Its obvious that they just need to accept Jesus as their savior to become rich, white, healthy individuals living in America!!

Always liked the shows, I'm a geek/nerd like that. He was just a voice that was immediately recognized before I read this post. That has all changed now. Every time I hear it now, I'm going to smile on the inside.

He's awesome, period. The atheist leanings are just a bonus.

I hope this guy lives to be 500+ and keeps narrating nature programs. If they get a new eminent naturalist in my lifetime I will never get used to their voice.

This is the third time this fall that I've seen this picture and quote posted in r/atheism.

All I can think of when I see a David Attenborough post:

"I'm David Attenborough, and I hate nature."

Great quote, but downvote for the finger, because he never did that. You are twisting reality to comfort to your believes. Now who does that remind you of?
