You SHALL NOT blaspheme either the Rainbow Ba’al nor the Brown Ba’al.

Science = Whatever the government says it is.

Agree or be destroyed.

Science 2021 = Feelings + Emotions trump hard facts, data and empirical evidence.

Wow. Canceling Dawkins is a significant milestone for Progressives.
Review history of the French Revolution; it’s repeating.

According to the leftards, Dawkins was a racist and islamophobe before he was a transphobe.

Yes, that was hilarious!

“...Black women’s experiences and bodies have been appropriated [by Rachel Dolazel]...”

Riiiiggghhhht. Black women’s experiences and bodies are “appropriated” by a white woman pretending to be black, but women’s experiences and bodies are **not** appropriated by men pretending to be women. Got it!

“...trans folk and allies responding with frustration and exhaustion...”

I guess exhaustion is the next word to be hijacked to mean something else /s/

I wonder how long it takes before Dawkins goes full “Sharon Osborne” and starts begging for forgiveness for a crime he didn’t commit.

Non-theists shouldn’t even have any sort of moral/ethical code anyway. Where is the American Humanist Association finding theirs? In a microscope?

For all of that, he was okay on Hogans Heroes and Family Feud. Just trying to balance the good with the bad.

May they all kill each other in the worst ways.

2 Chronicles 20

10 “But now here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel to invade when they came from Egypt; so they turned away from them and did not destroy them. 11 See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance. 12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”

"22 As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. 23 The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

24 When the men of Judah came to the place that overlooks the desert and looked toward the vast army, they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground; no one had escaped. 25 So Jehoshaphat and his men went to carry off their plunder, and they found among them a great amount of equipment and clothing[d] and also articles of value—more than they could take away. There was so much plunder that it took three days to collect it. 26 On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berakah, where they praised the Lord. This is why it is called the Valley of Berakah to this day."

” This is television, that’s all it is. It’s nothing to do with people, it’s to do with ratings! For fifty years, we’ve told them what to eat, what to drink, what to wear... for Christ’s sake, Ben, don’t you understand? Americans love television. They wean their kids on it. Listen. They love game shows, they love wrestling, they love sports and violence. So what do we do? We give ‘em *what they want*! We’re number one, Ben, that’s all that counts, believe me. I’ve been in the business for thirty years.”

Biblically speaking - yes, he’s absolutely a fool.

“A man can’t become a woman. A woman can’t become a man. You are what you are. All science can do is mutilate your junk so you don’t know what you are. This nonsense won’t abate until we all openly ridicule and point out the idiocy of the tranny movement. To heck with “sensitivity”. Transgenderism is dangerous and should not be accepted on any level.”

We used to help the mentally ill, now we encourage them.

Just for a little while. The Gods of the Copybook Headings always return with terror and slaughter.

The “transgender” movement continues to divide the “progressives” when some progressives have their Eureka moment, realizing, in some certain case, that facts more than theories are important.

When that portion of their mind that is still honest with itself speaks, and it is not woke, the division between themselves and the woke “progressives” - transfixed with “transgenderdom” - is exposed.

If Dawkins is like the Harry Potter author, he will hold his own and not submit.

Richard Dawkins isn't woke enough. That's where we are.

My goodness.

We are indeed.
