So PZ Myers has "divorced" himself from the "skeptic movement" because some self-identified skeptic said some things he didn't agree with.
Along these lines, it is high time that we took care of some other irreconcilable differences between Atheism Plus, FTB, Skepchick and... everyone else.
Let's see how we can divide custody here. Who gets what?
You get the idea.
Essentially, the Atheism Plus do-gooders have distanced themselves from all comedians (most recently Ricky Gervais) because everyone knows jokes don't belong in safe spaces.
Then, the Atheism Plus gang goes far to smear nearly every accomplished author, philosopher, scientist that has gone to battle for the sake of atheism.
To top it all off, Atheism Plus blasts charities and lobby groups like the Human Rights Campaign and Planned Parenthood because they would rather support their own ego fund groups that agree with them on a broad platform...
It's a sad state of affairs. Let's finalize this divorce.
