Happy Birthday to Me……….

Today, The Skeptic Blacksheep turns one…hip,hip,hooray! It’s been a fun year, it still surprises me that anyone actually reads my blog. Writing this blog has  changed me, it’s given a shy and reserved person – moi – a voice.

I knew from the beginning that a lot of people would find my opinions offensive and hurtful because I was speaking out against everything they believed in, but I felt I could no longer hide my own thoughts and views, and this blog served as the platform for my coming out of the atheist closet, so to speak.

It’s given me the confidence to stand up proudly for those opinions and liberal views, and I no longer care if anyone thinks I’m a militant atheist. If pointing out the ridiculous makes me a militant atheist, then so be it.

I’ve met some incredible fellow skeptics online and I’ve learnt a lot from them, and look forward to continuing to do so. I find many of them inspiring, educational, and have learnt that most of them have a wicked sense of humour.

Here’s to another year of fun, learning and pointing out the ridiculous.

Cheers!
