Uh-oh. This episode of Mr Deity will fire up some denunciations. Take a deep breath, and remember, he's satirizing religious attitudes. Listen through to the end, though — he has an excellent suggestion. This weekend is Thanksgiving, and instead of...

I have to recommend this criticism of sexism in the skeptical community: skeptifem points out that while we're quick to outrage when someone like Bill Maher violates science norms, we seem to shrug off the fact that he's been rudely...
