Another Round With Paul Baird: Stating and Defending the Requested Rebuttal
Introduction
Recently on the Praxis Presup podcast I have been reviewing an exchange that took place between the three Pauls of the Skepticule podcast and Sye TenBruggencate with Eric Hovind.
Paul Jenkins mentioned the review on his blog, and I responded:
https://choosinghats.org/2011/09/fundamentalist-atheism-why-bother/

noun

Alas I was troubled that I might not know what to think about homosexual marriage, but Miley came through for me and tattooed an “=” sign on her finger explaining, “ALL LOVE is equal.” This likewise is great news, as I expect a rather large check to be coming my way as a result of it. After all, if all love is equal, and Miley loves some people enough for them to reap the benefits of …
