Editing. I can do that. Editing is what I do.
I just wrote the post on the fly as ideas came to me; I did not start with an outline or plan.

Uh, that would be sarcasm. Not knocking your perception, though.

Theists are welcome too, the post just has to be roughly about atheism, no bible study and such

Uh, that would be sarcasm. Not knocking your perception, though. Your response would be sarcasm, too. But that's okay, I like good sarcasm, especially directed at me when I deserve it. I'm masochistic that way.

That's probably the best way to write. I've been trying to write on one of the topics in the OP, and it's rubbish! Once the forum blog is up and running, it should be easier to write for and it won't feel like we're doing a school essay!

Write about something you are interested in writing about then! The ones Shell suggested were just that, SUGGESTIONS.

Now there's too much choice, I can't think of anything to write about!

Here is my first contribution. It's a copy / paste from my old blog which no longer exists on the web. I copied it out of an old database backup I had, so all the formatting is there; it might need a bit of editing, or perhaps someone could suggest some quote changes.

I did a search of common google searches with the keywords atheist and atheism. That is what you see in the OP. It says in that very post that you don't have to choose a title from the list.

It seems pretty to the point to me, Tiberius. After a cursory glance, I see nothing that requires editing. I don't think the quotes need to be changed, either. As long as you have 101 quotes and attribute them, people are getting what they came for. I love that it has so many quotes too. I hate generic posts that are lists of ten or twenty.

Oh it wasn't a criticism, more a feeble excuse! (I couldn't say the dog ate it, I don't have a dog!)
