Atheist Extremists
"I agree with Hemant in the video: "atheist extremist" is a nonsensical term.
Usually, what people really mean when they day "atheist extremist" is "anti-theist."

Drunk priest propositions cops

It's impossible to come up with a comment that tops the story headline:

At times I'm more than ready to run as far as I can from the belt but then there's a lot more that I love here. Hopefully I'll end up in a more accepting place than where I grew up.

Helen Pluckrose said… Thanks Mo! Its one of those weird English surnames which come from a job in medieval times - one peasant on a large estate belonging to a nobleman would take responsibility for overseeing the work of the others and in return when the other tenants paid their rent in produce or money he would symbolically present the Lord or whatever with a rose from his garden in lieu of rent. He would be known by the surname Pluckrose so everyone knew he was a sort of supervisor. Has unfortunate rhyming possibilities when my husband was at school tho!
