One of our Own Embarasses Us

One of our Own Embarasses Us
An atheist college professor in Florida violates church-state separation big time. People like this give us the bad name we have.

Edit: read the whole thread. What is claimed in the video is probably BS. I got taken in by Fox.  Angry
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Wait, professors like that actually exist? I always thought it was a boogeyman created by theists. Wow.

I don't even consider him to be one of 'our own'...I'm not really a part of any 'us' when it comes to atheists anymore than I feel linked to any given American just because we were born on the same piece of turf.

True, but guys like this just enforce stereotypes that dumb fuck theists already have of atheists.

If those dumb fuck theists are looking for an atheist strawman, I'd wager they'll go straight to Stalin instead of some dick professor in Flroida. It's inconsequential to me.

So one guy actually went to see God's not Dead and thought what a great idea, let's do this?

Apparently so.

Every group has their crazies, and their idiots. Even Pat Robertson has criticized YECs. We can do our part to laugh at this guy as much as we laughed at the idea of a philosophy professor not wanting to debate religion in GnD.

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