I absolutely hate this practice. The deceit and utter bs of it being my major issues. I guess if these people were still in some way dedicated to the greater good of society it would not have been so bad. But the fact that they live in a state of pretence showing themselves to the world as "intellectual" people with scientific backgrounds really gets me going.

Was just wondering if anyone else have the same pet hate. And would like to talk about it. Not that there is much to say about how crap it is. But I have started an awareness group on FB that is relevant to SA the country that I live in. 

But I really feel that I need to get into the face of the public. Which I suppose is easier said than done.

As far as building public awareness of the dangers of homeopathy, I have tried to start by educating people that they should not be promoting The Huffington Post in any way. HuffPo is no friend to the reality-based community and has been one of the biggest proponents of homeopathy and other dangerous forms of woo.

 

This has been a real challenge, and I continue to see many atheists link to HuffPo, retweet their articles, etc. For those of us who are bothered by homeopathy, we can do better. Here are some more examples of why we need to let go of HuffPo.
