A post on PZ's blog:
And this blog confirms what I have found in almost every atheist blog I've visited: atheists lose their moral foundation, when they jetison God, and eventually end up foul-mouthed, pornographic, hate-filled, humorless individuals.
Hey, I'm not humorless!

Personally, I jettisoned God. And this dude left out "pedantic".

If I wasn't so hate-filled and humorless, I'd tell you that was really funny.

Three out of four ain't bad. Gimme a few years and I'm sure I'll jettison humour along with everything else.
A prime example of how the housing market got so fucked up.
HA HA! You guys crack me up!
Shit! Does that mean I have to start going back to church now?
Did Kat link to the Sesame Street videos here? I watched Big Bird learn that Mr. Hooper was never coming back and cried and cried in my office, and now I am thinking fondly of John-John.

Well, you blew humorless, but you've got profane, and the anti-church sentiment is hate-filled if you squint a little. Do you think you could throw in a little porn to make sure you've got the rest of the atheist bases covered?
Have we talked about the penis-theft panic?
KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.
Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.
Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.
Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.
"You just have to be accused of that, and people come after you. We've had a number of attempted lynchings. ... You see them covered in marks after being beaten," Kinshasa's police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, told Reuters on Tuesday.
Police arrested the accused sorcerers and their victims in an effort to avoid the sort of bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 suspected penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs. The 27 men have since been released.
