My conversion to atheism
#10
RE: My conversion to atheism
A first time poster (here) writes an extremely long post with special text? That translates to me as "Probably not worth reading... might check it out, but only if nobody else responds to it for me."

As such... people have responded, and hardly encouraged me to read it, and your responses to them have done no better to encourage me to read the long post. Frankly, it looks like you copied it out of a book you wrote, and pasted it here, possibly as self-promotion. Now note: many people are fine with self-promotion... but often only when one is willing to be a part of the community as well. Likewise... the more a person is active in their community... the more positively their subsequent self-promotion will appear.

Conclusion: post more (elsewhere), and you are much more likely to be viewed positively when you post an extremely long post with special text. In fact, it might even change some people's opinions (such as mine) and they might then view you and your post more positively.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
