Skeptic Readers

Skeptic Readers is a sight for readers who seek to look on the other side of things, break away from the status quo or investigate points of view that aren't discussed openly. If you are just a little rebellious, interested in things off the main stream and looking for a site that breaks away--this is it.

    The Neural Buddhists

    Okay skeptics, what say y'all about the ideas in this article?

    "In their arguments with Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, the faithful have been defending the existence of God. That was the easy debate. The real challenge is going to come from people who feel the existence of the sacred, but who think that particular religions are just cultural artifacts built on top of universal human traits. It’s going to come from scientists whose beliefs overlap a bit with Buddhism."

    For the entire article see:
