So, as even my new followers in this exciting post-Bieber era have probably noticed by now, I’m an atheist.
And there’s this thing called Ask An Atheist Day. It’s more of an occasion on certain campuses and stuff in the States, but it’s noted across the blogosphere too, so here I am.
I’m an atheist. Feel free to ask me stuff. About atheism. Or something else.
It doesn’t really need a special day for it, in my case. The comments section here and my Twitter are pretty much an open invitation to ask me stuff about anything, at any time, with no grammatical or common-sensical obligations. But it’s a handy excuse to not write anything substantial today. Which is good, because I don’t have time. I’ve got to go eat chicken kievs and watch some torture porn. My fiancée’s making me. It’s a hard life.
Have fun.
I don’t have any specific questions today, maybe tomorrow!

As a fellow atheist, I am often floored by how long some atheists get around to shedding their religion. I stopped believing when I was about 5 or 6. When did you first start thinking that maybe everyone around you wasn’t…well, like you?
