We, as humans, are liars by nature. Shocking statement to make isn’t it? But if you step back for a moment and examine your own life, as well as those friends or family members closet to you, I think you might agree.

As atheists and skeptics, we’re often confronted by people making claims that are just not provable by the person making the claim. We often come up against theists that claim God exists, but when we ask for proof, they tend to try and turn the argument around and ask us to prove God doesn’t exist. Proving a negative isn’t possible, that’s why claimants that provide no evidence are usually waved off by most people.

I haven’t written anything recently, in fact, quite a while, about homeopathy. I think this is one of the subjects that as skeptics, we could come to agreement on: it’s all based on zero scientific evidence. We should be working to have these ineffective and sometimes dangerous products, removed from being able to be sold or even promoted.

As a skeptic, whenever I see an article on something science-y that looks a little too good to be true, my radar goes up. More often than not, what I’ve read isn’t true, or at the very least, none of the findings have been independently verified.

I thought I would continue the discussion, via blog with Gretchen over at Skeptic Review on our perspectives of the incident that occurred in Houston at a Hilton Hotel Starbucks and the Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA).
