Mozilla CEO resigns because of Prop 8 donation in 2008

I'm of pure Aryan stock.

I didn't know you were Pakistani.

I never known what is going to set people off from that part of the world.  I have had Indians lose their shit when people mention the Aryans as the Aryan invasion theory was apparently constructed by evil Brits to justify their Empire while others are all like 'yeah we are Aryans we kick ass!'  No different than any other old world nationalist stuff but it is interesting how rather obscure historical topics in our part of the world are so emotionally charged in other places.  Kind of brings them to life for me and reminds me we are talking about stuff that matters.

Thankfully modern gene sequencing has proven the Arayn invasion theory correct, so now everyone will calm down and engage in rational and logical discussion on the topic.

A chair who believes in Creation, particularly a Creationist that believes that people lived along side dinosaurs and that the world is only 6000 years old, now that would be a sight to see!

NPR had an interview with a professor of Christian Studies from Georgetown University who no longer believed in god.  He didn't have a problem continuing to teach things even though he no longer believed them himself.  Of course, he was tolerant of opposing views, and didn't arguing that there was anything which "would never be tolerated."

No there isn't. Nobody should use a browser that is made by people who don't support freedom of expression.

Yeah, looks pretty dumb going either way.

I'm gonna eat Chick-fil-A. The homophobia is delicious!

My best friend's wife has a brother that would not talk to her for over a year because she posted a pic of us & all our kids at Chick-fil-A.  Funny thing is it took a while for it to dawn on her why he was so pissed.

He's married to a fag?

One does not have to be a Christian to be a good scholar of Christianity.  Indeed, the case of Ehrman being a good scholar of Christianity led him to change his beliefs.  On the other hand it is hard to imagine a person who believes that the world is 6000 years old also has a good grasp of the science which proves otherwise.

That's called "moving the goal posts."  You said "creationist."  Not all creationists believe that the world was created 6,000 years ago.

Even so, I could see even a person who thinks that the world (and universe) was only 6,000 years old could serve as a science chair, so long as he understands (as you do not) that science says nothing about "proving" the age of the universe, and he has enough countervailing attributes  Science simply reports what the evidence leads us to believe, with the assumption that everything works as scientists believe that it does.  Science disproves things (with caveats) but doesn't prove anything.

I don't eat there.  I discriminate against inferior chicken sandwiches.

It is kind of funny how this one company has become the symbol of gay oppression everywhere.

"A" symbol.

I would say it is an easy shorthand for mentioning homophobia and business at this point.

In the US perhaps.

I meant everywhere in US society.  My apologies.  I was not under the delusion Chick-Fil-A was symbolic of gay oppression in Cameroon.
