Grizz,
​
One cannot call for a society guided by reason and rationality then fly off the handle in public like this. This just looks really silly.
​
If you can't fly off the handle because someone is getting death threats because someone else believes a cooky is a human/god, then when can you?
​
It seems to me that flying off the handle moments should be reserved for exactly this sort of situation, because these people are acting so unreasonably & so irrationally.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world; those that understand binary, & those that don't

Re: Joe Nickell for the win
bluegenes,
​
IMO, the more ridicule these kind of beliefs face, the more the world is provoked into thinking, and the better a place it's likely to be.
​
Amen.
​
Ridiculous ideas deserved to be ridiculed, particularly when they result in threats of violence.
​
I am intolerant of this kind of shit & fail to see what's wrong with my intolerance.
