Welcome to SFN Aerik. I suggest you just take a look around. What interests me may not be of much interest to you... Have fun!

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

One of my favorite ones is Top 10 Reasons I am a skeptic.

Welcome to the forums, Aerik

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.
- Isaac Asimov

Our latest Skeptic Summaries might be a good place to start…

How often to people check a Sticky that's 6+ pages long?

* I'm not going to call it my "favorite pet peeve" because, for one, it is an oxymoron; hell, the addition of "pet" to modify an annoyance into something you enjoy being annoyed by annoys me; and that is one of my peeves. My biggest peeve would be language such as that little gem. Ugh.

However, my biggest peeve as a skeptic would definitely have to be when atheists and secularists do unneccessary kowtowing to a religious group for whatever odd reason. On my blog, I ranted about this peeve generally, and then berated Ed Brayton twice when he said he "respected the fact that" the Catholic Charities group in Boston decided to stop helping children get adopted altogether rather than be forced to deal with - *gasp!* - gay parent candidates. The fact that they brashly quit when a law forced them to confront a taboo ^or else^ tells us that they were not ever considering gay candidates for adoption ever, so their decision to quite being a state-appointed charity should cause a "Well FINALLY!" reaction, not a "Well I respect your restraint," BS reaction.
