A couple of semi-amusing conversations on Twitter recently:
Ricky Gervais and
God speaking from his twitter account
https://twitter.com/TheTweetOfGod:
Ricky Gervais: What did you, as your son, get you, your own dad, for Father's day?
God: As My own son, for Father's Day I bought Myself a necktie. And as My own father, I thanked Myself and silently felt disappointed yet again.
God: By the way @rickygervais, thanks as always for the many prayers you directed My way last night, as you secretly do every night. #faitheist
Ricky Gervais: They were to Zeus actually but you just kept listening in.
(in reference to England's defeat by Italy in their first World Cup match)
Ricky Gervais: What were you thinking with that result though? You're English for ****'s sake. Have a bit of patriotism.
God: "No, @rickygervais, I'm not English. I save your queen purely out of the goodness of my heart.
Ricky Gervais: That's the best conversation I've ever had with
@TheTweetOfGod. Twitter is great. With praying I feel I may as well be talking to myself.

Professor Brian Cox and
Deepak Chopra:
Deepak Chopra: No scientific cause can be ascribed to the Big Bang the sudden appearance of energy & matter or cosmological constants.
#CosmicConsciousness
Brian Cox: @DeepakChopra: "No scientific cause can be ascribed to the Big Bang … " Yes it can, read about eternal inflation
#CosmicConsciousnessmyarse
Brian Cox: Just landed from US to a timeline full of drivel from Deadbat Chopstick's army of crazies tweeting meaningless 'spiritual' yodaspeak
Deepak Chopra: Real scientists have epistemic humility,reverence for existence, value transcendence, have healthy skepticism @ProfBrianCox
Brian Cox: The most important attribute for a 'real scientist', as you put it @DeepakChopra, is to actually understand some science.
At which point it seems Deepak Chopra has really had his nose put out of joint and has been doing all he can to convince Brian he actually knows something about science:
