Skeptic Links aims to be the definitive directory of links to Skeptic, Atheist and Rationalist resources. Instead of having to maintain a list of links on your own site, we hope you will consider listing just a few favorites and a link to here. Everybody can then pool their efforts to keep this directory up to date. Any suggestions on improving this site to make it better serve the needs of the community are welcome.

What's the Harm?

We are all confronted with new information daily. It comes to us via newspapers, radio, television, websites, conversation, advertising and so on. Sometimes it seems like a deluge.
Not all information is created equal. Some of it is correct. Some of it is incorrect. Some of it is carefully balanced. Some of it is heavily biased. Some of it is just plain crazy.
It is vital in the midst of this deluge that each of us be able to sort through all of this, keeping the useful information and discarding the rest. This requires the skill of critical thinking. Unfortunately, this is a skill that is often neglected in schools.
This site is designed to make a point about the danger of not thinking critically. Namely that you can easily be injured or killed by neglecting this important skill. We have collected the stories of over 670,000 people who have been injured or killed as a result of someone not thinking critically.
