‘Friendly Atheist’ cancels book comparing God to abusive boyfriendHemant Mehta must have urinated on himself when the feminazis charged him, fangs dripping, out of nowhere. Who could expect that a book with the smug, self-righteous Atheist titling Mehta gave it would be attacked so immediately and viciously, by feminists? Don't feminists hate men, who are by definition abusers because: penis? Of course they do. So what's the problem then? Well, attacking men is their turf, and Mehta tresspassed. That explains all the nasty bites, and the quick retreat over the fence.
Mehta never had an abusive boyfriend, said one, offering no evidence in support. Another claimed that her boyfriend was worse than God, and offered reasons (e.g. God never hit me). In the end, it's all about power: they get to do the attacking, not Mehta, who can't understand, because: penis.
Who objected? Well it was Heidi Anderson, Sarah Jones, Sarah Moglia, virulent Atheist-feminists web presences, all. Mehta immediately realized that he was outweighed in the outrage department, and laid it down a-bornin'. In a sense, the feminists aborted Mehta's baby.
"One day after launching a Kickstarter campaign to create a book called “God is an Abusive Boyfriend (and you should break up),” a popular atheist blogger has shelved the project “after receiving a lot of negative feedback.”
The “Friendly Atheist” blogger Hemant Mehta had planned the book to feature artwork by Tracey Moody, along with questions like: “Does He get jealous easily?” and “Are you always telling people how amazing He is while hiding His faults?”
“Even if I believe the concept behind the book is a valid one, the execution was poor and it upset a lot of good people. My apologies to anyone in that crowd,” Mehta wrote on Thursday (Aug. 7).
Before canceling the project, Mehta called it “the most fun I’ve ever had on a writing project,” though he acknowledged that it would likely prove offensive to some readers or critics.
“We understand some people will have strong feelings about this project, but it’s certainly not our goal to offend anyone,” he wrote on the book’s Kickstarter page. “If you’re religious, we hope it nudges you to think differently. If you’re not religious, we hope you find it entertaining and informative.”"

Ha Ha! Much schadenfreude to go around. Just shows what a beta male Hemant is. I guess I have to give him credit for following the credo of political correctness he espouses to others, even if it does make him look emasculated.
Funny, the feminists claim everything we say is because we're men. No reason or logic or justice involved.
But Bulverism works both ways. We could reply that they only say that because, vagina.
What a fun game! Meanwhile, the issue itself is never resolved on more rational grounds.
I suspect some of them know that, but they want what they want, and damned be to anyone who gets in the way. Even other Leftists.
I had to look up "bulverism" and I'm quite glad to know about it. It is exactly the fallacy of the classist movements, and one from which they will never be moved because it is an expression of arrogance which is couched in sublimating their feeling of inferiority and/or insignificance.
Bulverism proves their feelings to be accurate, and their arrogance to be quite hollow except for hot air, like an overfilled balloon.
I can never comprehend the burning sociological and cultural issues drawn exclusively on the basis of physiological indoor and outdoor plumbing. Perhaps the "because: penis" adherents need to check that "burning" sensation; it might be a UTI.
