Where to start? I could drone on about myself; what drove me to put together this little blog, why I seem to think my thoughts are worth sharing with the world- all of which are probably things that blog readers expect. Honestly, I don't think my thoughts are that important to anyone. I don't think that I am special, or that my opinion matters more than anyone elses. I simply want to have a little corner of the internet to express myself about things I feel passionately about, with the hopes that others of the same mindset may decide to do the same. It is extremely important, in my opinion, to band together as freethinkers, humanists and skeptics to fully explore and fight perverse social changes that take place every single day right under our noses. The easiest and most effective way to accomplish this it seems, is to author a blog.
I will use this blog as a soapbox, to give my assessment of whatever strikes me- negatively or positively. It is easy to vilify those in the public eye who promote baseless and backwards ideals like magical thinking, homeopathy and creationism. Celebrities like Oprah, Jenny McCarthy, Pat Robertson and Deepak Chopra to name just a few.
These are the faces of the Enemy
These people propagate ideas that don't help anyone but themselves and their causes. Fundamental Christianity, New Age Homeopathy, Anti-Vaccination...the list goes on. These people and their interests do more damage than good- and I will try to explain the who, what, when, where and why of these topics as best I can.
Please keep in mind that this is just my opinion, and I will provide credible references to back up any claims I happen to make (unlike many of those I will criticize). It is my goal to educate myself further on all of these subjects I have such strong opinions on, as well as maybe help a few others too. Hopefully, this will be a fruitful venture.
