My 21st Birthday!
So today was my 21st birthday, huzzah! I’ve had a great day, was taken out to lunch by my mother and her new boyfriend, had a card made for me by my friends, and got given “The Passion of the Christ – Director’s Edition” by my atheist housemate. Unfortunately I’ve also had to revise a load for exams coming up, so it has been a day of trying to comprehend horrible software engineering slides.
As with this time of year, I’m cutting back on the blog to make time for my studies. I’ll still post every now and then, but it will probably be small posts rather than lengthy philosophical musings. I’ve been contacted by a person who wants to write some articles for the blog, so hopefully that will go ahead and we’ll have some form of content going. If anyone else wants to write the odd article, or share something you think others might like, then feel free to contact me.
Oh, and 21 in binary is 10101 which is palindromic and awesome. Another example is in base 4, where the number is 111. If I ever want to feel like a teenager again, I can use hexadecimal and get 15!

Haha, a fellow geek! ::squee::
A somewhat belated happy birthday to you. I've emailed you through the site, hoping you'll do an article for my magazine Gay & Lesbian Humanist, and it may interest other readers to take a look, too. It's at http://www.gayandlesbianhumanist.org. Although it's historically aimed at the LGBT community, it probably has more general humanism/secularism/freethought articles in it than those that specifically concern lesbians and gays. We're always on the lookout for contributors, whether that be to the letters slot or as writers of suitable articles. So I hope you and/or some of your readers might get in touch, whether gay or straight, male or female, atheist or religious.
I do not understand why someone would want to base their blog on something they do not believe. It is as though what you do not believe is your identity. It would appear that what you do not believe in is important to you that you want your non-belief to be the first thing that I know about you. I thought that for an atheist religion was not relevant to their human experience. Likewise, I would think that your non-belief be just as non-relevant. (I no not believe in the elves or fairies, however, that is not the first thing that I want you to know about me.)
I just do not understand why your non-belief is so important. With respect and curiosity….
It is because of the majority theists that I blog about atheism. If there were no theists (or not many theists) then I would not blog about atheism at all, there would be no point. Just as a I don't blog about the non-existence of Santa Claus. Minorities need voices, and I provide just one of those.
Not true, but this is an atheist blog so people tend to come here expecting things on atheism. If I met you in real life, I probably wouldn't mention my atheism unless you asked. This is a personal blog, but only in that I talk about personal experiences with religion. I'm not going to post about everything in my life (I have Twitter for that!)
