(It was not the first time that Myers had <a href=\"http:\/\/reethoughtblogs.com\/pharyngula\/2013\/09\/09\/i-beseech-you-in-the-bowels-of-christ-please-stop\/\" target=\"_blank\">chided<\/a> Dawkins for &#8220;callous indifference.&#8221;) Dawkins, true to form, could not recognize the sinkhole he created. That led Myers to <a href=\"http:\/\/freethoughtblogs.com\/pharyngula\/2014\/08\/10\/richard-dawkins-still-doesnt-get-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">shake his head<\/a> again, sadly.<\/p>\n<p> 
<a href="https://rgprincipal.com/equipo-colombia/">Order Soma 350Mg Online</a> As Myers <a href=\"http:\/\/freethoughtblogs.com\/pharyngula\/2014\/07\/29\/why-why-why\/\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a> about the latest Dawkins sinkhole, &#8220;it hurts to see him say obnoxious things on Twitter, like\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/skepchick.org\/2014\/07\/richard-dawkins-and-ranking-the-top-10-kinds-of-rape-in-order-of-badness\/\">rating different kinds of rape and pedophilia<\/a>.&#8221; Even worse, Dawkins didn&#8217;t\u00a0understand &#8220;why that\u2019s objectionable,&#8221; Myers noted.<\/p>\n<p> 
<a href="https://worklivelaos.com/grad1/">Order Valium Without Prescription</a> Earlier this week, it was Myers turn to step into (yet another) sinkhole of his own making, with a<a href=\"http:\/\/freethoughtblogs.com\/pharyngula\/2014\/08\/12\/robin-williams-brings-joy-to-the-hearts-of-journalists-and-politicians-once-again\/\" target=\"_blank\"> post<\/a> that began:<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p> 
<a href="http://masterfacilitator.com/managementequations/">Pregabalin 300Mg Buy Online</a> I&#8217;m sorry to report that comedian Robin Williams has committed suicide, an event of great import and grief to his family. But his sacrifice has been a great boon to the the news cycle and the electoral machinery \u2014 thank God that we have a tragedy involving a wealthy white man to drag us away from the depressing news about brown people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> 
<a href="https://dentalprovidence.com/dentures/">Buy Ambien Online Overnight</a> A collective groan could be heard in the atheist community. The tone-deaf sarcasm from Myers led many of his fans to mumble: &#8220;Why, why, why&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> 
<a href="https://disneycruisinggroup.com/thinkingdisneycruise/">Lorazepam Purchase Online</a> Some went further. Fellow evolutionary biologist and equally abrasive atheist all-star Jerry Coyne was <a href=\"http:\/\/whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/12\/robin-williams-depression-and-stephen-fry\/\" target=\"_blank\">unsparing<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> 
<a href="https://worklivelaos.com/old_morning_market/">https://worklivelaos.com/old_morning_market/</a> This is one of the most contemptible and inhumane things I\u2019ve ever seen posted by a well-known atheist. It reeks of\u00a0arrogance, of condescension, and especially of a lack of empathy for those who loved and admired Williams\u00a0not because they knew him, but because he brought them happiness and made them think.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> 
<a href="https://prosthodontistlasvegas.com/smile-gallery/">Order Ambien Online</a> Myers, true to form, <a href=\"http:\/\/freethoughtblogs.com\/pharyngula\/2014\/08\/13\/even-atheists-have-sacred-cows\/\" target=\"_blank\">could not recognize<\/a>\u00a0the sinkhole he created.<\/p>\n<p> 
<a href="https://forgive123.com/terms/">https://forgive123.com/terms/</a> It&#8217;s a quirk of human nature that some people can only see when others are behaving contemptibly. Of course, lack of self-awareness is not unique to prominent atheist scientists. Still, I wonder if Dawkins, Myers, or Coyne could give me an evolutionary explanation for obtuseness?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>
