Supporting a sacrilegious sanctuary, scientific society, and solace for Southern secularists.

Welcome to the opening entry of the SecularSouth blog.  I am the Southern Fried Skeptic.  I am authentically southern, having spent most of my life among the peanut and cotton fields of rural south Georgia. I am opinionated, educated, alienated, and sometimes intoxicated.  I am a progressive, secular skeptic who believes firmly in the authenticity and applicability of a scientific worldview.  My plan is to make this blog a service to myself and others. For myself, it will be a much needed outlet for frustration with the amount of ignorance and nonsense I observe in our misguided species and for others it will be a resource for information about events and news associated with science, politics, and whatever happens to pop into my (admittedly) scattered mind.  You don't have to agree with my opinions, but disagreement should be backed with rational thinking.  Otherwise you're just wasting time.  If you disagree with facts I present, then please speak up.  Such disagreement will be appreciated if evidence shows that  I am more misguided than usual.

More substance to come soon.
