Why is it that I have to keep reminding myself we live in the 21st century?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

You know, like when xtians claim they are being persecuted because someone tells them they can't splatter their jesus-shit filth all over the landscape.

Feed a few to some lions and remind them what persecution was!

The Twilight Zone is real. You just have to go to a different country to enter it.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

I think the OP is defining 'moderate' a little oddly. It seems strange to find an example of people being immoderate being used as an example of some sort of problem with moderates.

Holy shit, they're calling for the boycott of French products ... the horror of it all.

By the way, Lahore has a population of seven-and-a-half million. Why this self-selected crowd should be regarded as representative is open to conjecture.

By the standards of some Muslims, that makes them non-Muslim.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Oh. I use my own standards to decide who's moderate.
