SSA Week Day 3: My Picks

SSA Week is ongoing, as atheist bloggers come together to raise money for the Secular Student Alliance. At the time this post was published, they’ve collectively raised $65,000 out of a goal of $100,000, a gain of more than $5,000 since yesterday. Awesome!

Yesterday’s ongoing blogathon had two participants, but three participating bloggers. Here are my favorites from the bunch:

At WWJTD?, JT Eberhard points out that Kansas is at it again with teaching anti-science in science classes, and asks if we need to invent another parody deity to ridicule them (the Flying Spaghetti Monster came out of the last time this happened). I have to say I love his proposal of Mortimer, the Godly Tree Stump.

His co-blogger Michaelyn also got into the game, with a firsthand account of why secular student groups matter, and how a shy agnostic rose to the presidency of her college atheist group.

And at Unequally Yoked, Leah Libresco was answering challenges to a recent post on same-sex marriage. Some were geekier and more analytical than others, but my personal favorite was her musing on why trebuchets would be better than coffee at creating happy relationships.
