(Yahoo news) – Radical feminist Mary Daly, the iconoclastic theologian who proclaimed, “I hate the Bible,” and retired from Boston Collegerather than allow men to take her classes, has died. She was 81.

“The verdict is in and there isn’t any doubt that global warming is occurring and humans are causing it,” he said.

“I don’t think any serious person doubts that.
