OK, enough lurking. I'll go ahead and introduce myself.
Ubi Dubium here, from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (pbuH) forums. I also used to spend rather a lot of time at De-conversion, but things have been a little soporific there of late. I'm also occasionally spotted commenting on Friendly Atheist, Ex-Christian, and on assorted other blogs.
I'm a Mom, a Skeptic, an Alto, and I have lately been focusing on learning about cognitive biases. I've been an atheist for over 25 years, but only active in the last few, mostly spurred on by the deluge of religious BS that UbiDubiKid #1 and UbiDubiKid #2 have to put up with. I'm a great admirer of Valerie Tarico and Richard Wade. And Tim Minchin. I enjoy Pharyngula, but find that PZ, while an accomplished and poetic writer whom I often agree with, is occasionally (as we say at Venganza) a "pooface".
So RAmen to all, and now I'll come be opinionated at you on your other threads.

Quote from: "Ubi Dubium"Thanks all. My posting may be sporadic at times, depends on my work schedule.+1 vote for you, as the concept was top notch. Although I can see why the current leader is who it is as they have executed a well known meme with great baking skill.
