Solidarity!

I see that PZ has captured the attention of that gasbag over at the Catholic People's Liberation Front. Once again we see that believers insist that everyone respect their delusions. Sorry, but I don't play that game. I call crazy where I see it, and I am pleased that PZ does too.

I got named one of the Most Dangerous Professors in the Universe for suggesting that believers might not be as moral as they think they are. (I believe the phrase I used was "moral retards.") I think it is safe to say that Professor Myers will make the list in the second edition. Good work, PZ! Welcome to the club!

Whenever the gasbag sends out his flying monkeys you can be sure that the hate mail will start piling up. More evidence of their moral superiority, I guess.

I've written to the U of M president in defense of Prof. Myers, and I encourage everyone to do the same. Let's not let a professional hysteric and his noisy troops determine what can and cannot be said publicly.

BONUS: I get a kick out of all those who write to say "I'm a taxpayer and since you work for a public institution, I should have the right to determine what you can say." I got a lot of those letters too. Sorry, assholes, let me explain how this works. When I'm off the clock, my speech is my own. You can go fuck yourselves. Take your silly crackers with you.
