If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

[spoiler] Hey slymepitters I gots a question. If you had to write a book your kid for when s/he's say 20 - 25, what topics would you include? Atheism and ethics are two obvious ones, but any ideas (even if they're within those two broad categories) would be appreciated. Three concepts that need res...

A perfect response on your part as well, John.

I'll be on WILK Newsradio soon to talk about the Wilkes-Barre Freedom From Religion Foundation banner which has now been restored and criminal charges to be filed against admitted vandal Joe McDonald. Listen live! http://player.tritonmedia.com/entercom/WILKAM Way to go, Justin! I had little confide...

Renee, they cannot watch Tf00ts video, because if they do, then they would be forced to answer direct questions regarding the content of said video... Better to just sit on the soapbox all safe and secure, free from criticism! Oh, you just know they've watched it over and over and over... They will...

Adam Lee backpedals frantically after Ghost of BoxTurtle gives him a very specific answer he clearly wasn't expecting: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1328/backpedal.png Source: https://twitter.com/DayLightAtheism/status/286621373760147456 (I put the capital L there to make sure it's not the parod...

okay, so its over 48 hrs since I put the video up, ~50k views and a 95 % approval rating, Or are they saving it up for some devastating ad hominim 'we must drive TF out of the community like a pariah' type shit? FYI the last time they plotted as a group to do that... where they all conspired to rel...

Actually, you might enjoy this one: In his latest video appearance he states that he 'there are no bridges that have been burnt' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jszbryanTeU&t=19m10s ... errr, really, that doesn't class as burning bridges as far as PZ is concerned? so what would it look like if he wa...

I'll pass. It's not like he is going to contribute anything worthwhile and I'd rather not give the little immature prig a hit.

Au contraire. In Watson's case, knight's move: she finds religion and taps into the big money speaking to church groups and Fox News (think, Suzanne Venker with blue hair). Obviously the baptists and mormons are out because of the no booze bit. Forget Islam too (no booze plus it rather rules out th...

pretty cool to see so many people joining the pit recently. and i was worried fftb would run out of crazy before people clued in. should be an interesting 2013. any predictions??? (written on my ps3 so to lazy to capitalize) The Pit will continue to grow and fester from within and without, Skeptic ...

Presumably, now that Ed Brayton has generalised the Slymepit to mean anyone anti-FtB, anti-Ophelia, etc., then people like NonStampCollector—FtB's new, eager pup—will quit whining on Al Stefanelli's YouTube channel about generalising FtB as a groupthink-propagating cult. I was anti-FtB, Skepchi...

RichardReed84 has had his twitter account suspended. Well bugger. He's given me so many lulz! :( I hope it's only temporary Richard. I think I know who's to blame Richard was interacting with Adam Lee and Bridget Gaudette and both accounts are suddenly protected. Coincidence? Bridget Gaudette ‏@B...

I disagree they were talking shit, coordinating hack jobs, and anouncing intentions to ruin people. I think the release of that was in the public interest. That's why they are so sore. Thunder's file drop showed what a pack of nasty bastards they really are, whilst they presented a holier than thou...

That makes considerable sense. I'll have to refresh myself on 'egalitarianism' see what the complicating baggage might be. Likely something to do with the nature of prior egalitarian societies, such as the Inuit, where gender roles were pretty fixed, but considered equally important. For me, the ba...

I found a good article about "equalism", written in 2007 by a woman named Carol Wohlfeil. I like her definition and explanation. According to her, the term can be used interchangeably with egalitarianism, but, at least according to wikipedia, egalitarianism seems to have some other philosophical or...

I’m using “slymepit member” as a shorthand for the whole anti-FTB, anti-Ophelia crew. It’s obviously one of them. I don’t really care which one; they’re all to blame. ALL TO BLAME Someone needs to tell Ed that you never go full Laden http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8073/8318222163_2c6522a...

When the topic comes up, 'egalitarian' is what I use as well. Seems one of the few descriptors that retains a modicum of reliable clarity.

Bitch - A Definitive Examination of the Word | A Video by Al Stefanelli

Hah! Nothing like timing! Another excellent video commentary, Al.

By the way, while we're on the subject of sexism, there was a brief discussion on Twitter the other day about the word bitch being completely unacceptable . That was the debate Al Stefanelli mentioned as it was happening live a few days ago. Interesting to follow it, too. Adam Lee tried to twist Al...

Hi Boys 'n Girls! Just a quick drop in and intro. I've long heard of the Slymepit but never ventured over (such horrible rumors about, oh my!) but decided to follow up on Mr. Stefanelli's general invite a few days back and have been lurking and reading to get a feel for the place. I've gotta say I'm...
