Again: Richard Dawkins is one reason why atheists can’t have nice things.

Good luck with that, fellas:

Richard Dawkins and Sean Faircloth are recruiting college students to photograph the homes of ministers as the two well-known atheist work to make a documentary they say they hope leads to the abolishment of tax exemptions for religious leaders in America.

Faircloth, author of “Attack of the Theocrats: How the Religious Right Harms Us All & What We Can Do About It,” encouraged hundreds of University of Colorado – Boulder students who attended his talk last week to photograph the homes of ministers and send them to him.

Then again, I suspect that Dawkins isn’t really an atheist.  Nobody sane would spend this much time hating Something that they don’t actually believe really exists.

Ah, the Lysistrata option resurfaces.

This time in the service of the Democratic party… oops, did I give that away?

Anyway, I take a detached view of the subject – I’m both monogamous, and happily married to a woman with sufficient self-respect to be disdainful of the idea of dehumanizing her body enough to make it into a domestic policy tool – but I do have one observation to make. You see, the last time I checked one common argument against promoting abstinence programs was that you cannot realistically expect young people to voluntarily and consistently refrain from having sex… and at this point some people reading this post are laughing, and some people are scratching their heads.

Either way, no need to go further down that line of thinking, yes?

PS: We need to start teaching logic in high school… ach, well, let me not start on that particular rant.
