I don't argue with people who have the brain power of a comatose slug. I just gave a pittiful smile, nodded, and ended that part of the conversation.

But that's not the point I'm making

It is that when it comes to religionists, they are able to pick and choose this and yes that is a sin and no that isn't even though the bible says and I don't mind birth control but the pope does and that's no big deal...

but if I mention Michael Shermer or Penn Jilette or Sam Harris JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I better be ready to defend every. single. fucking. thing the man ever said in his life.

I see it daily in the Religion forum here. When el papa says someone who says an offensive thing should be punched in the mouth, oh it's just a colloquiums, he's just saying stuff, he doesn't mean it. When Sam Harris calls Islam a repressive force, OMG HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THAT GODDAMN BIGOT
