1. I always aim to misbehave

Does anyone wonder how the Jewish people of the world will react to EVOLUTION=NAZISM, found within the Expelled film?

I'm reminded of the time a group of Jewish students on my campus protested a visiting anti-abortion organization. The organization (don't remember the name) compared ABORTION to the HOLOCAUST by superimposing images of aborted fetuses with mass graves of Jews.

Love the PZ post, as most of his posts!

I think it's important to make the distinction between "believing" in evolution and "accepting" evolution. You either accept or reject it. Eugenie Scott spoke at my university last year and stressed this issue. It's very important for us to use this type of language. When the believer hears the word "belief," they immediately place you on the same playing field as themselves.

This may seem a trivial question, but what do they mean when they refer to "ritual" and "open sourcing" in the same sentence?

Also, what is the point of this moderator? (rhetorical)

4. Bill Maher on Larry King Live

I'm new here and want to say hello to everyone.
If everyone enjoys the comedy of Bill Maher (aside from his crazy rants about medications), you would thoroughly enjoy a comedian named Bill Hicks. He's brilliant with his takes on religion, politics, and rationality.
