Skeptics Ahoy!
So, I've been a bad blogger of late. And I'm going to continue being a bad blogger by doing nothing more today than posting some links. I've been spending a lot of time over at the Skepchick blog and enjoying the information and the virtual company. As they've reported there, the 79th Skeptic's Circle is up, and The Amaz!ng Meeting just ended in Florida (for those of you who don't know, this is a really incredible-sounding semi-annual Skeptics' conference of sort spearheaded by James Randi.)
This whole atheist/skeptic community thing has become a bigger and bigger interest of mine over the last couple of years, and though I don't blog about it too much, it is something I'm starting to feel more passionate about and hope to devote more of my time to in the future. And a few of these people are also knitters, which just kind of sealed the deal for me. Seriously.

This is a very funny link from the skepchick's blogroll. It asks the all important question, what does god have against amputees?
(After all, God will miraculously cure the occasional bout of cancer or pneumonia or whatever, but he never spontaneously regenerates the limbs of amputees. What's up with that?)

Oh, but according to one of our Christian Trolls over there, he HAS Jamie R., he HAS.

Ha! Someone pointed out that god will heal salamander amputees, but no love for the humans. Talk about adding insult to injury.
