			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So said Lance Corporal Jones about the Germans on <em>Dad&#8217;s Army</em>.  The exact phrase, &#8220;They don&#8217;t like it up &#8216;em&#8221; returns &#8220;About 271,000 results&#8221; on Google. Oddly, I couldn&#8217;t find a video clip of one of the show&#8217;s most famous lines, so this T-shirt design will have to do.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_2727" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.redmolotov.com/catalogue/tshirts/all/they-dont-like-it-up-em-tshirt.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-2727 " title="Humanists and Germans don't like it up 'em" src="http://www.realstreet.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/they-dont-like-it-up-em-tshirt.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Humanists and Germans don&#39;t like it up &#39;em</p></div>
<p>Humanists have the same attitude. I cannot leave comments on the blogs of the first two people whose names are at the foot of <a href="http://www.realstreet.co.uk/2010/09/fifty-public-figures-condemn-me-in-letter-to-guardian/">that anti-pope letter</a> in the Guardian. I have been <a href="http://www.realstreet.co.uk/2010/02/richard-dawkins-exposed-v-cranmer-vs-dawkins/">banned from Richard Dawkins&#8217; blog</a> and the moderator of the <a href="http://www.stephenfry.com/2010/09/16/dailymailhate/">blog of delicate flower</a>, Stephen Fry, doesn&#8217;t approve my comments.</p>
<p>Mr Fry is proud to be &#8220;hated&#8221; by the Daily Mail, but the moderator doesn&#8217;t accept my negative comments, which are, of course, not hateful. The first comment is this,</p>
<p><em>What happened to freedom of speech? I think it is absolutely ridiculous that a newspaper can go about accusing Stephen of “fuelling a campaign of hate” simply because he objects to the Pope visiting as a head of state. Stephen is just as entitled to his opinion as the next person&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Unless the <em>next person</em> disagrees with the fragrant Stephen on his fluffy bloggie-poo.</p>
<p>A major American humanist is PZ Myers. I <a href="http://twitter.com/pzmyers">followed him on Twitter</a> last year and he replied to one of my tweets in quite a shocking way, saying <em>Jesus buggerin&#8217; Christ</em>. His tweet brought so much traffic to this blog that I reposted <a href="http://www.realstreet.co.uk/2009/11/repost-lies-damned-lies-and-statistics/">a previous blog entry</a> about his attempts to get his supporters to skew a poll on CNN&#8217;s website, which they did. Myers blocked me from following him on Twitter.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t like it up &#8216;em, these humanists!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PZ Myers is a biologist and associate professor at the University of Minnesota. He has a big chip on his shoulder about religion and Creationism. He has a popular blog where he writes articles that can whip some of his regular readers into a frenzy of blasphemy and hatred.</p>
<p>Recently, he stated that &#8220;Finally, a good use of the Bible&#8221; is using its pages to make a joint out of.</p>
<p>Now, you would think that a professor with such strong opinions would take facts and figures very seriously. The other day there was a poll on CNN&#8217;s website:</p>
<blockquote><p>Do you believe in God?</p>
<p>Yes 69%<br />
No 31%</p></blockquote>
<p>Myers <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2009/09/thats_a_simple_poll.php" target="_self">encouraged his people to vote</a> and the figures rapidly went the other way to a whopping 67% &#8216;No&#8217;.</p>
<p>What this clever clogs did was to totally skew the poll and produce almost the complete opposite of the truth.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m surprised because the Theory of Evolution depends upon fabrications, distortions and downright lies.</p>
<p>If he was half as clever as he thinks he is, Myers would stick to educating people, if that&#8217;s what he believes he&#8217;s doing. Maybe he&#8217;s not so sure. That would explain his continual ad hominem attacks.</p>
