Why This Blog?

Because I need a place where I don't have to worry what Christians will think, since they believe atheists are angry and hateful people. Because I need a place where I can answer my atheist critics out of the earshot of Christians. Because I need a place to vent. Stay tuned.

[Edit: This blog would have largely gone under the radar had not PZ Myers linked to it. That's the way it goes sometimes.]

  4. And this place is "out of earshot of Christians" how exactly? What with having your name on it and all? Do you think Christians are unaware of Google?

    1. Oh, Ophelia knows all about google. That's why she uses the terms "abbie smith", "ERV", "rape" and "c*nt" as often as possible in the same sentence to make it easier for the google spiders to find. If you can't beat them, drag them through the sewer.

  5. Well, John, the test results just came in and I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. You may want to be sitting down for this.

    You are not funny.

  6. Ophelia, if you do a search for my name then at best it will come up on the 8th or 9th page right now. Most Christians won't go that far. Yes, some will. But not many. And when they do link to it they will see the ugliness. That's a shame, but them's the beans.

    You don't realize how myopic some of the Freethought Bloggers have become. They are doing atheism justice, that I acknowledge. They are calling our Christian society to be more accepting of atheists.

    But I don't see much there that is actually reaching out to Christians in trying to change their minds. That's where I come in. Not just me, but that's me.

    Stay tuned.

    1. I completely agree on this. FTBs these days are such a terrible headache to read. Everything is patriarchy, everybody wants to enslave (and maybe rape) women, and everybody who doesn't think like PZ and his fangirls is an heretic.

      Even the Atheist Experience show nowdays sucks (mostly because their callers sucks, but still), and the Non-Prophets became less and less important because they have a new show about GRLL power and can't be bothered to do a decent NP show anymore. Man, that's sad. I still like the Ask An Atheist radio show (less bullshit callers, more intelligent and nerdy discussions, more sense of humor, and the women there are intelligent and nice, not a bunch of assholes; I specially like Becky, she is awesome). But, it's only 1 hour per week. Do you or anybody knows of any other atheist podcast that is like that to reccomend (besided Living After Faith, which I already know and ocasionally listen)?

  7. Take a long break. In fact, take a hike.
