Now that the noun 'retard' is frowned upon, we need a civilized replacement. I propose the (rhyming) noun petard, meaning some dumb bastard -- like P.Z. Myers, the world's first official petard -- who, yes, hoists his own self high: and has no idea...
"Nothing must be held sacred. Question everything. God is not great, Jesus is not your lord, you are not disciples of any charismatic prophet."
Myers is the very model of a modern charismatic prophet. What a maroon.
Thru K-Lo!
Though I agree Myers is being a petard, and am deeply ashamed that he now represents my college to the world, I feel I should take issue with this. I have met the man. He is many things, but charismatic prophet is not one of them, even in the Weberian sense. Curmudgeon probably comes closest.
But then again, maybe the fact that you can be a prophet on the internet and an uninteresting/uninterested fool in real life is the most important moral to draw from this. Which is truly petarded.
