Very Serious

I've just seen the most horrific thing and I am just now able to see through the tears to pass this along to you now.  If you have access to Netflix, I suggest that everyone watch "The Stoning of Soraya M."  I've spent the last hour literally bawling over this movie. 

Let me begin by saying that I, from the age of two until I was fourteen, suffered molestation, rape and beatings, but now, I feel so petty that I bewailed my childhood when much more unspeakable crimes are being committed in places like Iran.

Hit the jump...

What The F&%K!!!!!!!!!!

The Atheist Experience podcast (see sidebar for link ---> ) is usually very entertaining due to the (sometimes) insane callers, but this one takes the f&%king cake.  I am so pissed, I am literally seeing red. 

This caller seems to "know" that 99% of all rape allegations are fake and that it is physically impossible to rape a woman.  I mean, wtf?!?  You really have to see it to believe it.  This man is so completely clueless!!! 



I don't know what else to say.  I am so mad that I can't type straight.
ARGHHHHHHH!

Update: Stephanie Van Dyk, writing for the Friendly Atheist, has a thing or two to say on the subject, as well.  Only, she is much calmer than I am at this moment and, therefore, more eloquent.

Yeah! for Skepchick!

I know this is also posted on Pharyngula today, but I thought it was such a wonderful presentation that I had to share it here.  Check out Skepchick's Rebecca Watson giving a speech at a the CFI-Transnational conference when you have a spare hour.  She is brilliant!!!  Keep up the good work Rebecca!!!
