Read what got Richard Dawkins cancelled. Sample: "Mild pedophilia is bad. Violent pedophilia is worse. If you think that's an endorsement of mild pedophilia, go away and learn how to think."

      Slippery slope is “a thing”, Richard.

      Maybe uncategorical unnuanced condemnation of a harmful behavior is how a society deals with these behaviors? Maybe irrational taboo of harmful behaviors is more effective then your intellectual analysis of them, Rich? Maybe it’s one of those um, positive adaptation thingamajigs.

      For an evolutionary biologist, he always seems to have a staggeringly weak understanding for how human morality works.

      It's funny how when he was doing the exact same thing denouncing Christian morality he was a hero, but now he's the same man he's always been, poking holes in sacred cows and exposing hypocrisy, suddenly he's a pariah.

      This is the dumbest thing to say.

      Hilarious.

      But I defend his right to say it.
