“Opponents of religion – anti-clericals, humanists, rationalists or whatever we want to call ourselves – ought to recognise that religion is a complicated box of tricks, containing much wisdom as well as folly, along with diversity, dynamism and disagreement. And we need to realise that many modern believers have moved a long way from the positions of their predecessors: as Mill once said, they may believe they are loyal to an old-time religion when in reality they have subjected it to “modifications amounting to an essential change of its character”. In particular, they may not accept the idea of God as an actually existing entity, so arguments for atheism will not disturb them; and they will be aware that there has always been more to religion than belief in God.”
So in other words PZ and his ilk are all obnoxious and rude and stuff to argue against religion because religious people don’t believe in God so why can’t we all just get along? Okaaaaayyy.
Glad you take some of the threats seriously.
Reminds me, I wonder what’s up with Markuze (probably just a nuisance, but…).

Tried.
Couldn’t.
It seems to be too many for my netbook and/or the satellite connection here.
Nice haircut, though.
Sigh. I have a 512Mbit connection, not quite up to scratch.

(Still, your de-shagging is evident, PZ. Not bad, either)
I’m watching. Thunderfoot needs to turn the lights on.
I’m watching too. . .fun
Nice. I Tune in to see DprJones, PZ and AronRa, and I also get greeted by Thunderf00t and Matt Dillahunaty.
John Morales at #3: Don’t you mean 512 kbps?
That was cool. I lik
So yeah. We also get misogyny and homophobic fun (cross postings):
1. Fuck. I’m on the Blogtv chat w/PZ and the rest of them. What do we get in the chat room? Date rape jokes. Rape jokes.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
2. And, we also have a user calling Matt Dillahunty a fag for his drag appearance on the Atheist Experience.
Yay. Just yay.
I had a great time watching you on blogTV. Keep up the goo work!
*good
[meta]
S, yeah.
(Good to see you’re paying attention! ;) )
I got up too late. All I see is some girl singing she’s blonde to some guy wearing a Batman hat. She’s not blonde, BTW.
Missed PZ, but Tyson’s on. =)
Ooooo nice tie.
Now this has to be about the most ridiculous apologetic I have ever read.
