OK relax, Pharyngula is alive and well. However, fictional South Miami biology professor Dr. Trent Casey met a gruesome death on the show Dexter. The Doomsday Killer did him in.
He was murdered and chopped up for only one reason, he was an atheist, and the psycho who killed him was a religious freak acting on behalf of God.
Unfortunately, the premise for the murder is not far fetched at all. And another thing, I have to wonder how many theists who watch the show perceive the killing of an atheist as something less tragic than the death of a non atheist....or if they perceive the death of an atheist to be tragic at all.
Anyway, Dexter is my favorite show these days. I really look forward to the episode each week.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a clip of the show. Specifically, the professor's lecture about the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and the how creationists misuse it in order to try to disprove evolution.
While searching for the video, I came across this funny short "How To Destroy An Atheist In An Argument:"
