The Atheist Blogger

I discovered the Carnival of the Godless a few months back as a relatively new guy in the atheist blogosphere, so I thought I’d approach my first submission gently and managed to “ease” in 101 Atheist Quotes before the deadline. When the COTG was published my article got about 2000 hits a day for a whole week and I quickly realized the power of blog carnivals in getting work noticed.

It seemed appropriate to give something back to the blogosphere and the carnival, so when pleas went out for new hosts, I was one of the first to step up and offer my services. I want to say I planned ahead but I’m not a liar (although Ray Comfort would probably disagree), and I’m currently stuck writing an introduction to the carnival at 23:00 on the 5th July. It’s probably already gone on too long and everyone who has stuck with it so far would most likely want to skip to the actual articles (you are forgiven if you do so).

Given that I’ll probably still be finishing off this post at 2AM, I’m officially warning all hosts after myself:

For the sake of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, don’t leave it to the last minute!

With my email inbox full of interesting articles, there is only one thing left on the agenda. Please fasten your metaphorical seat-belts, sit back, and enjoy the carnival!
