I'm glad you cleared that up for me, 'cause that was a total mystery.
It was a biologist. The name is in the stupid brain somewhere. I'll let it simmer and check for condensate later on.
Checked my stupid blog in case I linked his, but no; went to have a look and found this character which made me think I may not remember him by trying to find him. 'Cause I'm fried.
Ooooooooooh, I like that guy! Just spent a few minutes poking around his blog. He's fair to atheists and is possibly harsher on the Creation Institute jackasses than I would have been. If more Christians sounded like him, I would still be an atheist, but I'd have a far, far better opinion of the faithful.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
