Seems like Inquisitor Myers really does have no level of self awareness. He compared himself to Walter Fucking White and yet does not see that he himself is very publicly and very openly breaking bad.
I'll take a decent human being who believes in Christianity and can see he makes errors over a bitter increasingly unstable atheist who thinks his fucking ideology is objectively perfect any single day of the week.
Morbid fascination is all I have left now.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Dev? you mean Devogue? the wine merchant from NI who went to NZ? or is that somebody else whose story I might then regard as other than mendacious?Bella Fortuna wrote:Shamelessly lifted from Dev's post at RS (thank you for posting this, Dev):http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comment ... the_owner/To the World:
Hello, my name is Andy and I’m the owner of Gelato Mio, a gelato shop located in Springfield, Missouri. There has been quite a lot of buzz and discussion concerning a picture of the sign I briefly posted in my front window Saturday evening. I’d like to take this opportunity to tell my story and offer a heartfelt apology to your community. I messed up, plain and simple. This is NOT an excuse, but how it happened from my perspective.
I decided to welcome the convention downtown by offering the attendees 10% off their purchases at my store. A lot of the group from the convention were stopping by, being very polite and enjoying my Gelato. Saturday night started out as a great night. Once the store slowed down, I decided to walk down the street to learn more about the convention, fully thinking it was something involving UFOs (“skeptics”). What I saw instead was a man conducting a mock sermon, reading the bible and cursing it. Instead of saying “Amen”, the phrase was “god damn”. Being a Christian, and expecting flying saucers, I was not only totally surprised but totally offended. I took it very personally and quickly decided in the heat of the moment that I had to take matters into my own hands and let people know how I felt at that moment in time.
So, I went quickly back to my business, grabbed the first piece of paper I could find, wrote the note and taped it in my front window. This was an impulsive response, which I fully acknowledge was completely wrong and unacceptable. The sign was posted for about 10 minutes or so before I calmed down, came to my senses, and took it down. For what it’s worth, nobody was turned away. I strongly believe that everybody is entitled to their beliefs. I’m not apologizing for my beliefs, but rather for my inexcusable actions. I was wrong.
Guys, I really don’t know what else I can do to express my apologies. I’ve received dozens of calls and hundreds of emails since the incident, and have done my best to reply to each and every one and express my regret for what happened. For the thousands of you whom I’ve offended, I sincerely apologize. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. This is me as a human being sincerely apologizing for my actions.
To those of you who accept my apology, Thank You; it means a lot. To those of you who haven’t, I hope you will. I’m just a 28 year old small business owner who made a big mistake. I hope you see that I have not made any excuses, I’ve owned up to what I did, and I apologize.
For what it’s worth, an Atheist reached out to me to help me work through all of this and contact your community directly. I graciously accepted his offer.
I will give everyone who comes to my store this week 10% off as a token of my apology. Really, what’s more universal than ice cream?
Sincerely, Andy

Gelato guy posted a dinky little notice on his shop for 10 minutes, realized he was in the wrong, sincerely and extensively apologized (with a real apology and not a "if I offended anyone" non-apology) and made good with it by offering a discount. What more can you ask for?
If I hadn't seen PZ's responses myself and saw them quoted, I would've assumed they were parody. When you are becoming a parody of yourself, that's when it's time to "reassess."

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

I know it's a fucking joke. All the time we have been complaining about the theists linking atheism with the mass murderers of communism. Our answer was but but they didn't kill in the name of atheism and atheism isn't an ideology. Then non dictionary atheist P Z Myers comes along and says we are/or should be a ideology. Way to shoot yourself in the foot while scoring an own goal. Fuck this, is he a secret theist or something trying to undermine atheism from the inside.Robert_S wrote:So that Rationalia's Skepticon contingent can make sure to stop by and represent the more relaxed and understanding side of us.

We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.
