Hey Neece (nee-ce?),

l just read through a few of your articles and I’ve got to say I love them. Anyway this is probably the weirdest thing to say ever but I think you should have children. I read your about page on HDC and quickly I just want to suggest you reconsider that idea.

It might sound alarmist and weird but atheists are simply not having nearly as many children as the religious. I never saw myself as a father but I recently decided with the wife that we should procreate in order to bring a little extra sanity into the world. My concern is pretty out of place but I read such good thoughts from you and can’t help but think the world would be so much better off if there were more!

Anyway I hope you enjoyed the weirdest conversation ever, please feel free to ignore me and call me weird

Ah, thanks Quester. Now I get it. Good to know! And you’re welcome. I hope it can somehow help someone.

No, Lucian comes by often and links to videos that don’t have anything to do with… anything. I don’t know if it’s absurdist spam, an attempt to waste time in the pettiest way possible, or simply a bizarre argument for limiting who can and who can’t post on forums. We hope that if we ignore him, he’ll go away, but he keeps preying on newcomers like yourself.

Thank-you for sharing your story, Neece.

Neece, I didn’t get the videos either. Just one big question mark.

Well, Lucian, I will consider myself welcomed, thanks! … and officially poisoned. Maybe I can find an antidote!

No. Just that You’re a newbie here, and art completely unaware of me, my wicked style, or my wretched little comments. This was just my way of saying “Welcome!”. [Just think of me as a little snake poisoning the clear waters of this small atheist paradise]. 8)

Hi Lucian, guilty as charged! So I just watched them and I have to say, I’m left with a huge WTF kind of feeling. Is it just me? Am I missing something?

Judging from the very serious and polite tone of Your answer, I assume You haven’t actually watched the two videos I’ve linked at.

Hi Archangel Chuck, it happened for me that way too. It was gradual in some ways, but instantaneous in others. And once it happened, it was a done deal.
I guess since so many christians try to force their religion down my throat, I can’t take the “who cares” attitude.
