Blue Collar Scientist

Despite my promise to be off the blog for a day and a half, I just had to jump on here and point you to this post, which contains just the right amount of scorn and contempt, and which I seriously wish I had written. Skeptico rocks.

Skeptico is having a very good day today.

First we learned about Skeptico’s take on MySpace deleting atheist and agnostic forums when Christians tell them to:

What a bunch of sniveling cowards this Christian group must be. Rather than engage in debate with the atheists, rather than show some evidence to back up their beliefs, or even just ignore the atheists, they had to start an organized campaign to have the group deleted. Because Christians only feel safe when no one allowed to challenge their delusions.

Just when all that gets the blood moving, it turns out to be the third anniversary of Skeptico’s why did the chicken cross the road posting. I read it on my Blackberry at the cafe in the National Gallery of Art, and it provided much-needed levity in a Very Serious Place.
