The Bear Necessities

_DSC9503I’m Chrys Stevenson – freelance writer, speaker,  blogger, historian and secular and skeptical activist.

This blog focuses on religion, science, politics and skepticism – all the things that are dangerous to talk about at dinner parties!

Oh, and the title of this blog?  It’s a mondegreen taken from the hymn, “Gladly the cross I’d bear”.

If only all religious texts could be reduced to the harmlessness of a myopic teddy bear!
