Wait a minute here: the resemblance is only superficial, because I’d never dress like that, I’d never compare Obama to Hitler, I’d never complain about socialism and abortion, and most of all, I’D NEVER BE A GODDAMNED PRIEST.

I think you have a law suit here.
He has a choice: abandon his faith, or extensive plastic surgery.
Why not both?
I think a Nelson HA HA is de rigueur here.
I guess physiognomy is now more wrong than ever.
I’m mildly annoyed that PZ didn’t say the link was to Greg Laden’s blog. As a result, I have gone to Laden’s blog, something I told him I’d never do.
Over two years ago Laden accused SC of anti-semitism and then started trolling his own blog. I made a comment telling Laden not to be a jerk and he threatened to expose my name, email address, and any other information he could glean. I told him not to bother since I’d never visit his blog again. And until today I never have.
I have to wonder… who is the real PZ Myers? Bishop by day, blogger by night (and between hearing confessions)?
Have you considered he might be your evil twin?
Actually, that poses a problem, since you’re not the good one. You’re the leader of the Tentacled Menace. But he’s part of the Church…
Have you considered he may be your mentally deficient twin?
I can see it now at the next Atheists Convention. The speaker is announced and up strides PZ Myers wearing a bishops hat with a large ‘A’ on it.
Have you considered he might be your evil twin?
Wouldn’t he have to lose the beard for that?
I knew PZ was a spy since the get-go
Oh Oh. PZ Myers’ secret is out.
He is a Jekyl and Hyde personality(s) out of a nightmare.
Firebrand atheist and biology professor by day. Firebrand twisted old man Catholic priest by night.
I forget how the book ended but IIRC, it didn’t end well.
I’ve seen a few pictures of P. Z., out and about at various events. It’ll take more than a simple denial to convince me that he’d never dress like that. Well… Maybe not the hat.
This is brilliant! Making the Catholic Church look evil and stupid using performance art!
Bravo Sir!
Really? ‘Cause that’s a pretty sweet hat. Bet it’s real brocade too and not some printed paper shit; the RCC don’t mess around when it comes to regalia.
Clearly a sign from above, that funny hats make you look like PZ Myers. . .
He could seek asylum in the Vatican, seems to have worked for other catlick clergy.
Has anyone ever seen PZ and bishop together ?
There is the makings of a great t-shirt in this.
Eh, check out the photos on his facebook page. Trust me, you are a whole lot better looking. Credulity and nearly 40 years of being treated like a big soft baby doesn’t do much for one’s physical beauty.
Kind of funny how everyone’s been commenting on his facebook and his poor assistant has been deleting the comments as fast as she can. That is, until it’s time to go home. Anyone care to comment?

Will the real PZ Myers please stand up?
Wow. That was fantastic, Rip.
Approval from Brownian?
*gasp*
Do I get to move ahead in The Line?
The other guy’s beard is a bit fuller. So is his face.
NitricAcid — You forgot the bishop’s bowels. Apparently they’re quite full.
Why not? It makes you look even more squidlike. Must improve aerodynamics as well.
Of course, the downside is that God loves big, pointy hats.
I’ve been enjoying Kenneth Clark’s “Civilisation” on YouTube. In show no. 10 (“The Smile Of Reason”, largely about Voltaire) he quotes H. G. Wells:
“I remember H. G. Wells, who was a kind of twentieth-century Voltaire, saying that he daren’t drive a car in France, because the temptation to run over a priest would be too strong for him.”
I can only think of one situation where it could be plausible to see PZ wearing such a funny hat. http://i40.tinypic.com/2072dli.jpg
You know the website Cats That Look Like Hitler? Maybe we need to start one called Clerics Who Look Like PZ Myers. Because this can’t be the only one.
It’s teh Anti-Myers!
I agree with Brownian #21.
Rip Steakface, the linked video is wonderful!
Don’t worry about your place in The Line.
The Line is everywhere.
The Line is all the things.

I believe you’re confusing Teh Ghey Secks with Brownian line with Teh Transdimensional Groop Secks with Louis line.
Are They Not One In The Same?
Are We Not All In This Together?
(i cant handle all that shift key stuff)

The linked video is really, really, good.
(I wanted to hide that comment but … arthritic fingers … booze …)
Eh, either works for me.
Whenever we see PZ in public now, do we have to look at the camera and, with dramatic flair, say ‘It’s The Bishop!‘?
It’s the beard; there are only so many beard appearances. This is why eyewitness evidence should never be accepted. If it were, we’d have “proof” that PZ is really a bishop.
* Myth that Hitler banned Christianity
Rip Steakface
huh.
You’re easy.
To me he looks rather like a PZ Myers – Dan Dennett Chimera, doesn’t he? ZOMG, A New Atheist clone army is infiltrating the RCC!
Rip Steakface,
That video was awesome.
Jekyll and Hyde”? More like Hyde and Hyde who puts a hat on and pretends to be Jekyll.
Like ‘Tis, I did not realize it was a Greg laden site so my comments is “held in moderation”, which means it will never see the light of day there:
New rule: No one who belongs to an organization headed by a German who wore a Nazi uniform and served in Hitler’s army gets to call anyone else a Nazi.
You’re really unlucky!
My evil twin was Richard Branson (at least until I shaved off my beard).
I always wanted to wander onto a Virgin plane and get first class treatment, but I was too chicken.
All you can do is wander into a Cathedral and get free wine and crackers—and no cheese.
So the big question is, are you too chicken too?!

Pointy hat for pointy head?
He has a husband bulge?
“It’s teh Anti-Myers!”
It is actually Nega-Myers
Can you fight… yourself?
Gee, they kicked me off their Facebook page too. I only suggested he go back to diddling altar boys…. I guess he doesn’t need my permission.
So, why do never see you in the same room together?
You can’t explain that.
Chigau, #36,
You say that like being easy is a bad thing!
Verily I say unto thee, that being a slut is to be commended, whether you are a man slut or a lady slut. Sluttery is a noble art, much maligned and unjustly impugned by the fearful and witless. Sluts provide vital services to many otherwise unlaid folk.
SLUTS OF THE WORLD UNITE! YOU HAVE NOTHING LOSE BUT…
…well nothing really.
I grant you that’s not the greatest rallying cry ever, but so what? We’re in a big pile fucking, that takes big precedent.
Louis
P.S. It’s okay not to be a slut too. All choices around sluttery are valid, just don’t expect others to be precisely as slutty as you are. Always negotiate your slutation appropriately and wear the proper PPE.

Hah! So ‘I get email’ actually means ‘I write down stuff from within the confessional’.
