They believe in gossip, rumor, innuendo, lawlessness, lack of taboos, lack of the concept of crimes, and publishing lies about people. They have no consciences, how could they? They answer to no one but themselves. They are frauds, essentially empty people masquerading as decent human beings and trying hard to pretend it’s all about science. Atheists are lawless and godless, but worst of all they have killed their imagination and need to answer to anyone but themselves. You are delusional. And I have met Mike and he’s a freakin’ scary guy. There is something seriously wrong with him.

Humbly suggest de-linking him to sabotage their page rank?

No fear; the links look like this:
<a title=”http://www.lousycanuck.ca” href=”http://www.lousycanuck.ca” rel=”nofollow”>Jason Thibeault</a>
and I’m fairly sure they’ve been that way for a while on Scienceblogs.

But really, how could we not? Media doesn’t get much more social than the two of you. 🙂

We’re already in far too deep to back out. And we definitely wouldn’t want to disappoint Minnesota, not when we’re planning on visiting so soon afterward!

$20 on Alexander being a new breed of spammer, that tailors its blog posts to the Google search that found the blog in question. The link in his name takes you to a totally unrelated “news” blog in Switzerland. Humbly suggest de-linking him to sabotage their page rank?

People now your story all over cable access in Minnesota!

And on Scienceblogs.

Alexander, you may want to learn more about atheism. It’s really agnosticism without the sugarcoating. It’s not an attempted to disprove, but a statement of doubt that supernatural entities exist.

This was a great talk — good pacing, and long enough to get some good meat on it but still leaves you wanting more. That’s key to longevity in these things!

I have been meaning to try Second Life for years now. One of these days I might actually get around to even downloading it. Figure there’s a skeptic/atheist presence there? I hear Phil Plait gave a virtual symposium once… though he apparently spent half his talk familiarizing himself with the controls or something along those lines.

I’ve heard you all talk before on podcasts, and seen pictures, but never video. This kind of thing really helps me hear your voices when reading your posts.
Also, big thanks for the shout-out, didn’t see that coming, and I lauuuuughed and laughed.
The rug was nice.
I guess I need to try out farmville now ….
