That's the way to bet. I'm the odd rara avis, never indoctrinated.

We're getting more common by the generation.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I dunno, the thing will be instantly swamped by the usual suspects: 'yeah but you can't prove god doesn’t exist'...
Take a look at this latest wanker, Agnasty, he will just love an Atheism FAQs.
I've never been keen on conversion threads anyway, very difficult to tell the genuine from the bogus.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

-which is a great guide for new atheists. It;s useful to realize that nutters are going to say nutter shit at you for the offense of not believing in their magic books.

I have said that it sould be an adjunct site to this forum and only staff would get to update the "inventory" there. The items would be proposed in threads like this one, but the usual suspects wouldn't be able to trash the information site.

I applaud the idea. But I suspect that the usual cast of characters will cry "echo chamber", though if it is only listed as a resource and not a discussion area, it would be OK. I've seen sites that debunk Catholicism, for instance, that don't allow discussion at all, but only present the historical facts. Cue apologists...
Maybe if we gave "Blessings" to the interlopers?

Wow. You're a relatively new atheist? I couldn't tell. You are a firebrand! Glad to have you on our side.
