If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

From Stephanie's show http://freethoughtblogs.com/almostdiamonds/2012/07/23/would-it-be-immoral-to-rape-my-friends/ The easy question, of course, is how does someone think that (presumably but hardly certainly) joking about raping anyone is the least bit okay. The easier question, of course, is how...

I think conferences should invite Abbie to speaking events to keep the freethought bullies (and their manufactured controversies) away. Abbie, if you were in PA, I'd recommend you as a speaker for the upcoming PA atheist/humanist conference (http://www.panonbelievers.org/2012/07/17/pa-state-atheist...

Funny if you look at the expression on the faces of the girls behind her. The impression I get is They Are Not Amused. Nah! Theyre just kids, probably scared/intimidated and trying to do their job as 'professionally' as possible :) Im amazed so many of the ladies have their hair in long, high pony-...

How much Myers makes from SB has gone down a lot since he stopped posting there.

Christinas ~~blog post~~ book isnt going to be available in paper format on Amazon.

It is available, however, through the Richard Dawkins Foundation. Old, white, privileged, misogynist Dick, amirite???

I dunno why you all are giving Svan shit. She just has a different interpretation of The Evidence than us. Shes like a freak hybrid between a Creationist and an Evilutionist. See, she accepts that change happens, but she also agrees that change is BAD. So, evolution is happening, BUT we are all degr...

Here's 9 minutes you'll never get back. I suspect a lot of braincells can die in 9 minutes. If you last long enough, you'll see Rebecca try to learn while drunk, how to do a log out followed by a log in.

My correspondent details that Erv has called dr. Mikovits "a gigantic cunt" I didnt call her a gigantic cunt. I said if she was accusing other researchers of accepting bribes/falsifying data/manipulating images/etc, without any proof, she was a gigantic cunt. Turns out Mikovits *IS* a gigantic cunt...

That's odd. I posted a comment on Rock Beyond Belief, and it's gone straight into moderation - even though I've never posted there before. I'm guessing I must be on some sort of blacklist on FftB; does anyone know if this blacklist applies to all the blogs there? First time commentors are on modera...

I'm sorry, I really don't get it. TAM/JREF took an incident of possible harassment seriously, investigated what happened, followed up on the incident with you, and they are still treating you "disrespectfully"? They said that you were in the right for reporting harassment, and that made you feel li...

Oops - looks like this poor blogger was caught unawares when he dared to venture an opinion on Amy's harassing t-shirt without knowing that FTB is in reality an absurdist comedy with Pythonesque overtones: http://teafueledmadness.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/paula-kirby-thunderf00t-richard-dawkins.html A...

Let me try my hand at this - the problem is that when the guy is a PUA, he sees the women as sexual beings, er no, sex objects, and that any attempt by the man to alter the odds in his favor (that a woman would chose to sleep with him) is seen as an affront to the woman's right to choose and is str...

Or, for all we know she initially planned to leave at that time, but this was just a convenient excuse (like Greta...

Not gay either. Gender doesnt even factor into my partner choices, but we can still party on 36th street!

Lsuoma, Stefunny is claiming that someone secretly revealed it to her. It would be funny if it turned out he wasn't the one who did it after all. For the record, I dont care who made it.

This Ed Clint ? Ed Clint has not, to my knowledge, ever commented on ERV. I dont know that he even reads ERV. He contacted me a long time ago about coming to speak to their secular student group, but I dont travel, I offered to do a Skype, didnt pan out, havent heard from him since. Of course Ive g...

Considering how frequently FfTBers 'out' the wrong person-- Why are they saying 'Ed Clint' made the site? I have no idea who did, and I dont see any identifiers on the site myself, and Ed hasnt said anything on his Facebook about this... sooo... Is 'Ed Clint' the new 'Victor Ivanoff'?

Well I didnt mean to submit that yet. You all get the gist of it, though. :)

So Myers is perfectly willing to set aside his world renown hatred of religion and 'disdain' for religious people to support a goal he finds noble: defending women in skepticism/science whatever, whether its applauding Gay or working with radical Evangelical Christian journalists. ...

Her astronomy podcasting is valuable, accessible and competently done. She doesn't let her superstition affect her cosmology, so I've always tolerated her and promoted her work to my friends.
