So, i decided to give this site a try. Main topics i plan to cover are the rejection of theism and identity process formation of an atheist. Some of the discussions in this thread are quite helpful and thank u for that. Since people are from different background, i would also want to know the background of the person i will be interviewing (thus giving out my email which was a wrong move, forgive me, this is my first time to join an online forum). If anybody is willing to participate, i would be more than grateful. Thank u.
The post was probably not offensive per se, just against the rules against spamming and advertising. It might feel a bit offensive to some if there is the feeling that forum members are used more as guinea pigs than discussion partners, and there is no real interest in discussion.
But you already surpassed expectations by replying.
So instead of doing straight onesided interviews I would propose that you open discussion threads with questions for example, and then *participate* in them by replying to criticism.
Can I ask what the assignment or study is for and what country?
