Blogroll Update: Mere Skepticism

Stacy and Jared co-author Mere Skepticism. In my brief visit to verify that they were suitably atheistic (we all know my loose standards), I ended up reading every post plus a dozen or so from Stacy's other blog. I also love their blog's title. I think it might be a play on Mere Christianity.

 Stacy wrote a brief introduction - enjoy.   

Mere Skepticism, authored by me (Stacy) and Jared (and looking for contributors!), began recently as an offshoot of Stacy, Interrupted . Stacy, Interrupted has been my blog for a long time, and when I finally decided to publicly profess my atheism, it seemed my religious posts got a lot of hits and a lot of discussion. We decided to branch off and keep the religious talk at the new site. We live in the Dallas area, and are relatively new to the atheist "community." Jared and I are both 30, and were both raised in Christian households. Jared recently told me he's irked by feeling slighted his whole life--atheism has been around in the form of intellectual arguments, and it was always forbidden to us as "work of the devil" or something trying to "lead us astray." We're now "astray" because of the intellect of many before us; it has encouraged us to use our own and shown us that things once considered taboo are part of our rights as humans and as Americans. I am proud to be an atheist and I hope you will enjoy our blog as it grows.

Here are some sample posts from Stacy, Interrupted:
