... I can say that the claim by Akin smelled a bit off, so I did do a quick search on PLOS for any paper to back his claim. I was not surprised to come up empty. I just did another one on Google "plos sperm rejection rape" and one of the hits was this one: ... Which tends to support my presuppositi...

.... He also refuses to not use "lame" - slurs are fine for him. After discussions with Hoffman, Carrier started calling him insane, which from my readings is a bit charitable.

Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:46 am PZ has posted a video from the makers of Mr Deity that tries to make a humorous point involving the subject of rape. Yes, it's a rape joke. So you can make rape jokes, after all, so long as they target Republicans. According to PZ .... Not OK. Not at all, yet none of his sy...

But generalized dogma â€“ feminism, communism, Freudian psychology, even some variations on humanism â€“ seems to be a horse of a different colour â€“ largely â€œjust-soâ€ stories in many cases yet still connected to real facts; but something we all tend to do to a greater or lesser extent.

I used to hold more than a modicum of respect for Richard Carrier, even when he allowed his stellar ego to dominate debate, but in that ugly bigoted and irrational sermon of his, he just lost ALL respect from me. It may have even gone into the negative area. He has subscribed to a fanatical religio...
