RE: Free(from)ThoughtBlogs
The more I hear from PZ Myers, the more of a cunt he seems to be..
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

But, Kayenneh, didn't you know? He's our leader. That's what they call themselves on FtB: atheist leaders. I must have been out of the room when they had that particular vote.

And, from the account given by her, Shermer could just as easily report her for raping him. Seeing as how they were both drunk.

Or we can accept the responsibility for our own actions and avoid getting drunk.

I thought it was Richard Dawkins (that is what the Christians in South Africa claim - and they always know best). I just can't keep up anymore.
Any spelling mistakes are due to my godlessness!

"Coerced me into a position where I could not consent." That's awfully vague to be throwing the word "rape" around.

I'm sorry, but that is insubstantial evidence to simply accuse someone publicly of being a rapist, an accusation that can never fully washed away.

If she really was raped, that's truly horrible, but if she's using the word rape about drunken sex, may she get painful hemorrhoids and severe anal leakage.

@ITChick, bad atheist, you. But it's ok, I don't get memos either.


I don't know what to make of this. But all the buildup before the actual quote of what the girl said makes me think this entire thing is insincere and purposely sensationalizing the situation. Red Celt, where did you get the part about them being drunk?

Not only does it reek of insincerity, but PZ comes across as so many previous moral crusaders have before him, a complete douchebag. He's trying to sensationalize an accusation of rape, an action that someone who truly fought for equality among genders would be appalled over.

Regardless of whether the claim is accurate, PZ is a slimeball for his methods.

I find it fairly odd that, for a group like atheists that tend to prize evidence and deep thought about things, PZ Myers would offer such ghostly, detail-free accounts for anything, let alone such a serious allegation. It becomes very hard to actually form an opinion on this thing.
