RE: Starting a Blog to help deconvertees
OK, update time:
This will be a website called "The Helpful Atheist", and will contain links to various help pages as well as articles/blog posts etc. If anybody would like to volunteer as a writer let me know ![]() Let me know if anybody is interested ![]() "When you’re in a relationship, you’re in a band.

RE: Starting a Blog to help deconvertees
Update:
Initial page is up ![]() ![]() https://helpfulatheistblog.wordpress.com/ Currently topic ideas are: Why Atheism? - [Why I've personally chosen Atheism over any theistic religion, and my thoughts on religion] What a Theory is - [Sounds simple, but it'll be the explanation between the word theory in day to day use and what a Scientific theory is, and what that means] Evolution - [The "dummies guide to" on the initial theory, and some links for further reading] And some other stuff I haven't though about yet hah. The idea of the page is supposed to be informational as opposed to attacking religion, so feel free to point out if I've written something that isn't on the level ![]() "When you’re in a relationship, you’re in a band.

No worries, maybe you could write an article on the calming effects of yoga and its teachings, and how that may relate to religion or something like that.
Any help is much appreciated. ![]() "When you’re in a relationship, you’re in a band. Sometimes you sing lead and sometimes you’re on tambourine. And if you’re on tambourine, play it right. Play it with a fucking smile. ‘Cause nobody wants to see a mad tambourine player.” - Chris Rock |

I think a Resource Page is also nice, kind of like how they have here. Are you also going to start a forum? |

RE: Starting a Blog to help deconvertees
Hey OakTree,
I would change the wording here, “Those that follow atheism...” to “Those that identify as atheists...” The word follow has, imo, religious connotations. My 2 cents. “I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.”~Mark Twain “Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gills.”~ Ambrose Bierce |

Redirect them toward porn.
Recent deconverees probably need that more than proselytizing. ![]() |

I just couldn't find any evidence for it, so here I remain on the default setting. I look forward to reading your blog. ![]() A friend in the hole "If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are." - Captain Picard |
