This thread’s title makes me ask:
Who is asking the public to trust “cranky Atheists”?
It certainly isn’t the “recent promotion” – that was explicitly about “build[ing] trust between scientists and the public” – not between “atheists” and anybody.
I can also see nothing in any promotion indicating that this site was offering “a room devoted to discussions between theists”.
One wonders if Pew Research Center has any data on how many people “want to talk to George in a theists-only ‘room’/category/whatever” – that would appear to be far more relevant than the fact that “there are millions more theists that believe in evolution than atheists that do”.
Which leads us into Prince George’s lapse into the ‘Royal We’ – “Why dont you Atheists cut us some slack” (I must assume it is the ‘Majestic Plural’, as nobody else is complaining about this).
Your opposition really doesnt make much sense.
Opposition to what, one must ask. As with most of what Prince George says, it is hardly clear.
We have been told that we are opposed to discussing GAE, even when we were in the middle of discussing it.
I would however state my opposition to poor punctuation – repeated question marks (and previously exclamation marks), failure to place apostrophes within contractions. Maybe I should start AOPP – Atheists Opposed to Poor Punctuation.
PS.org defends the miraculous creation of Adam and Eve. There’s not much dancing you can do to get around that.
@Tim dances the ‘Mission and Values Two-Step’, to a rousing chorus of …
It says nothing about the miraculous creation of Adam and Eve tra-la-la
@Tim bows, and waits for applause. Receiving none, he blows a raspberry and exits stage left.
