A well-known University of Minnesota–Morris professor who has a history of hate speech against creationists-especially Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum[1]-inadvertently admitted recently that we were not wrong. This was kind of a blessing in disguise and also reveals much about his character. Professor Paul (P.Z.) Myers said: ...

Hate speech? You really wanna take the liberal victimhood approach here?
Fighting fire with fire usually works. Liberals hate to have their own words thrown into their face
Unusually candid. Far more revealing than he intends, I’m sure.
Ping!
PZ Meyers really does hate Christianity and biblical creation. However, I must have missed the part where the author says PZ Meyer’s speech should be limited on that basis.
What do you think of PZ Meyer’s take on morality?
Professor Myers very aptly expressed what ALL atheists and agnostics believe anyway. No real shock. Most people become atheits because they have a very strong emotional need to deny the judge. But why do they want to deny the judge? Did they do something horrific in their life? Most likely.
Atheists are atheists becuase they have a psychological imperative driving them to deny the judge.
Atheism is just a form of denying the judge.
True. The universe groaned when sin came into the world.
Almost all God-hating atheists who masquerade their religion as science blow their cover sooner or later.
“I had motive for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics, he is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do, or why his friends should not seize political power and govern in the way that they find most advantageous to themselves. … For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political.”
Aldous Huxley: Ends and Means, pp. 270 ff.
Christian Religionists are Religionists becuase they have a psychological imperative driving them to seek judgment.
Christian Religion-ism is just a form of seeking judgment.
Hate speech to me is a liberal invention to deflect valid critcisms. So if someone says gays tend to die 20 years earlier, on the average, than heteros, it can be deflected as hate speech rather than being addressed on its merits.
I find it a very weak method, and IMO conservatives should avoid getting drawn into such an exchange.
Maybe he just needs a hug.......and some anti-depressives.
The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.
Ps.14:1, Ps. 53:1
Almost all atheist-hating christian religionists who attempt to masquerade their religion as science blow their cover sooner or later.
And the atheists shout and scream that creationists don’t have an explanation for the Universe, while at the same time shouting and screaming that they don’t like our explanation!
Using the rubber-glue analogy?
Come on, why do you feel the need to deny the judge?
Why the celebration of nihilism?
Being an atheist (or non-believer) frees you from thinking that what you do to other people is somehow wrong.
So, to soothe yourself, you deny the judge.
I find it typical of many atheists, and it misses a key point - even if you do not look to God for morality, it is in the interests of a larger, structured civilized society to have basic moral tenets, or else no one can go to work because you would have to stay home to guard it.
But I also find the reasoning in the essay to be weak as well, I think is it quite a logical stretch to go from Myer's position to an admission that your side is correct.
