As for the Slate "master race" photo collection, it reminds me of a documentary show on white supremacists that I watched a few years ago. As I watched scrawny, toothless hillbillies celebrate the supposed superiority of their race, I shook my head. Why is it that the alleged supremacy of the "master race" is always celebrated by its most pathetic specimens?
The master race needs to paint their house.
From Myers' blog: "...I will again emphasize, though, that I have no personal, direct evidence that the event occurred as described..."
Isn't this the same charge Myers and other Atheists have been leveling at Believers for centuries about virgin births, rising from the dead and magical miracles? Isn't the word "Hearsay" one Myers should be well familiar with, or how about "Hypocrisy"?
I guess asserting that claims should be based on evidence instead of strong personal feelings applies only to religious claims. Anything other than that, I guess, just let the shit fly where it may. Disgusting.
Thank You for the link read Infidel

Robert: I hate to say it, but it really looks like Myers has blown it with this one. He ignored that fundamental principle, along with others.
RC: Thanks. Have you ever noticed that that avatar picture makes you look like you're wearing a superhero cape like Batman? It's pretty cool. (Of course in the full-size picture you can see it's a car window.)
