"God Saved Me"
 
Treated with the best medical care on earth and all the resources of the CDC. But it was god that chose to save him? How about thanking science, without which you'd be dead.

God, of course, chose to let all the Africans die.

Quote:

Brantly, 33, called his recovery "a miraculous day."

"I am thrilled to be alive, to be well, and reunited with my family," he said.

He also told a news conference at Emory Hospital that "God saved my life."

god gave him ebola and then cured him of it. it's the only explanation i can think of.

hnibos 08-22-2014 07:35 PM

It was the devil that gave him ebola, not god :rolleyes:

Richard Dawkins is such a terrible person.

In short: woman speaks at skeptics conference. goes back to hotel room. on her way back, she finds herself alone in an elevator with a man who invites her back to his own hotel room. she politely declines. days later, she blogs about how uncomfortable the experience was for her, sparking a widespread debate across the skeptic blogosphere. Richard Dawkins even joined in with this facetious letter to a victim of female gental mutilation:

Quote:


Dear Muslima

Stop whining, will you. Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and … yawn … don't tell me yet again, I know you aren't allowed to drive a car, and you can't leave the house without a male relative, and your husband is allowed to beat you, and you'll be stoned to death if you commit adultery. But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with.

Only this week I heard of one, she calls herself Skep"chick", and do you know what happened to her? A man in a hotel elevator invited her back to his room for coffee. I am not exaggerating. He really did. He invited her back to his room for coffee. Of course she said no, and of course he didn't lay a finger on her, but even so …

And you, Muslima, think you have misogyny to complain about! For goodness sake grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin.

Richard
A bona fide piece of crap.

White male privledge YAWN YOUR GENITALS WERE MUTILATED

Elphenor 08-23-2014 02:19 AM

Oh yeah, there is a weird thing within skeptic circles where there is this insane hatred of feminism and women.

Dawkins has written some misogynist shit in his books as well. It's very strange.

Elphenor 08-23-2014 02:22 AM

I can't understand the mentality that causes people to send death threats to feminists.

MyOneAndOnly 08-23-2014 11:06 AM

why do so many threads end up in Dawkins rants?

Bread Regal 08-23-2014 11:37 AM

Well lets see you're being a needlessly condescending dick head to believers so we broadened the discussion to other people are are needlessly condescending dick heads to believers.

Not defending Dawkins at all here but that's kind of the opposite of the sentiment he was going for.

juliana 08-23-2014 07:17 PM

Maybe the doctor who cured him was named Godfrey.

Ya, I thought dawkins was being sarcastic.

reprise85 08-23-2014 08:32 PM

he obviously was.

but he was basically saying women should shut up about feeling uncomfortable around men and certain situations because other women in other parts of the world get treated much worse. so ladies, dont complain about being sexually harassed, at least your clitoris is intact.

I just assumed he was pissed cause he was actually the dude who asked her for coffee in the elevator.

livin it up when you're going down

Shallowed 08-24-2014 12:56 AM

I'd heard that he spoke out against her, but I didn't realise that he used the old "other people have it far worse than you so your issues are irrelevant" line.

A master sceptic at work

Trotskilicious 08-24-2014 12:57 AM

a master assclown

duovamp 08-24-2014 01:29 AM

So he pointed out a first-world problem. What an insensitive shithead.

Trotskilicious 08-24-2014 01:41 AM

i think it was the way he did it

vixnix 08-25-2014 08:44 AM

plus...only recently he said that mild pedophilia like 'a bit of touching up' wasn't as bad as more serious and repeated pedophilia, but that obviously did not mean that he was saying that mild pedophilia wasn't bad and you'd basically have to be an idiot to think that he was saying that.

So that's basically the opposite of what he's doing here...where he is comparing the two and implying that because one thing isn't as bad as the other, it isn't bad, and you'd have to be an idiot to think that it was.

so much confusion...

MyOneAndOnly 08-25-2014 09:48 AM

ball of confusion

MyOneAndOnly 08-25-2014 09:48 AM
