Like one of those toy rulers where you move it back and forth and the dinosaurs’ heads move back and forth.

(do those things have a name?)

Today’s quiz: In the following sentence, is the word “insulting” a verb or an adjective?

The best thing about blogging is insulting dumbasses.

That’s pretty much the most worthless part of blogging, Comrade.

I was raised a catholic. For fuck’s sake, I was an altar boy for about five years in a Catholic Church. A good chunk of the family inheritance (which was not much) was stolen by an evil arch bishop. The nuns taught me how to hate Jews, explicity. The only adult who ever physically beat me as a child was a priest. It goes on and on.

Greg, that is just awful. When it comes down to causing mental and physical anguish in people, you cannot beat the Catholics! They actually make the Mormons and Scientologists look sane sometimes, particularly in how the Catholics treat children.

About the yourenothelping kids, it isn’t at all clear to me who or what they think needs help or what the cause is that they think is not being helped by other bloggers. At least the way you, PZ, and Richard Dawkins write is interesting, which is something I can’t say for the yourenothelping group-blog.

I find their idea about how this may not be what the pope meant absolutely laughable. In front of the stage the RCC has set for itself, he must either have meant that or his speech writing sucks bunches. Considering recent events, he should have (and I think would have) stated it much more explicitely if he *wasn’t* refering to child abuse.

I think that the disproportionate frequency of attacks on you on this issue stems from their apparent game plan for their blog. They’ve designated themselves freethinker watchdogs of all prominent freethinker media and apparently that means daily posts combing through all the prominent freethinker media sites and scrutinizing it. You’re probably a victim of your popularity here. They made a mountain of a relative molehill of a post probably because they were on the lookout for the first thing you did on their newly formed “watch” that they could pounce on.

They’re trying to build cred as big game hunters, feel flattered they want you on their mantle 😉
