Random Quote

The thoughts of man, in order to be of any real worth, must be free. Under the influence of fear the brain is paralyzed, and instead of bravely solving a problem for itself, tremblingly adopts the solution of another. As long as a majority of men will cringe to the very earth before some petty prince or king, what must be the infinite abjectness of their little souls in the presence of their supposed creator and God? Under such circumstances, what can their thoughts be worth?

[Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods", 1872]

The puny ones resist

The gentleman squid gazes at you with an appraising eye. Do you have what it takes to stand up for the right and the truth and a civilized way of life, or do you side with the barbarian rabble?

Sadly, I must report that Greta Christina, Hemant Mehta, Jen McCreight, and JT Eberhard have recruited another conspirator, Adam Lee, to their goal of defeating me as we strive to raise money for Camp Quest. They have narrowed the gap to approximately $1100 now and…

Wait, no, that's ridiculous. They are so far behind and their vain struggling so comical that I have no fear at all that they will catch up. At this point, it's simply a cruel, vicious game of piling up such an insurmountable lead that their spirits will be pulverized. Which is, of course, what we atheists do. Join me. Donate. Destroy the weak.

If you really want to stop being mistaken for a cuddly waddling teddy bear PZ, you could use that pic for your promo materials in advance of your speaking engagements.

It will scare the shit out of dopey Christians, because they'll quite easily believe it's what you (and all atheists) actually look like.

Bah! Do your worst, PZ. You're playing right into our hands: by cementing our underdog status, you're only encouraging people to feel sympathy for us, and that will make them give more generously to our team! Our devious plot is going exactly according to plan...

I already donated back when the goal was $5000 :P how many times do we have to stomp on the rabble before they are good and crushed?

Squids have many feet tentacles many suckers. Each one must do some stomping; the enemy keeps returning like a bad curry (or a herd of horses peas). So many many times. Once per sucker.

Not doing paypal (I do not do internet banking or purchases - see SONY) I sent $200 to the British Columbia Children's Hospital. For those among us in a similar situation may I suggest a similar approach. The children helped may not all be secular, but your contribution may help some child survive to become one of us.

Six. It's in the contract.

Six times the Six must be Crushed by the Six Arms!
Greta, Hemant, Jen, JT and Adam need to recruit another blogger in order to fulfill the prophecy.

@Iris #5, I never claimed exclusive allegiance! Think of the children! Must spur the battle by taking sides to limit the distance.
