i don't get it... i mean, if Krauss really is an epstein guy, I can get that skepchick would roast him, but she seems to be roasting the whole atheosphere, and gosh, i know she's a vlogger, but maybe that's too much airing of the dirty laundry.
still, i don't get myers' thing about his signed copy of the god delusion having to go. Has something happened between him and the dawk, or has he found god?

and I really don't get why myers is airing all that, it's bad publicity for every involved party and doing nobody and nothing good. I remember that I'd lost a lot of respect for him some time ago (though I don't even remember why/over what), and this does nothing to improve my views of him. Why the eff is he inserting himself and adding his fand to the cloud of feces?

The background story is Dawkins getting a new girl-friend every few years, always a woman lots younger than him, and installing her as the head of his foundation.

I believe Myers is salty because he realized atheists aren't necessarily ethically better behaving people than theists. And that disillusioned him.

so what? Older men with means and influence using that to get in bed with much younger gold diggers is nothing unique to the dawk, even currently, the town election campaign in paris is polluted by two women who happen to be in bed with the head of their respective political parties, and in both cases the man is more than old enough to be their dad. until and unless it's made a crime to sleep with a woman more than 20 years younger than yourself, or to use what you can control to give them incentive to stay with you, I am not particularly going to spit on the dawk. Could he be more virtuous? certainly. Should we hold him to a degree of virtue nobody in his position has? why should we?

As Dawkins pushes atheism not just as a factually correct position but a normative moral perspective he inevitably invites us to hold him to a higher ethical standard.

He always said he was a cultural Christian. When people tell you what they stand for believe them...
I suddenly realized Epstein was Goldstein, unacknowledged by a illiterate generation obsessed with Newspeak.
