Comments on: Open Thread: Shameless Self-Promotion Day http://www.daylightatheism.org/2008/11/open-thread-9.html NIGHTTIME IS FOR DREAMING. DAYLIGHT IS FOR ACTION.

Thanks to everyone who contributed - there are quite a few interesting blogs here that are new to me.

I only have a few entries so far, but after finals next week, I'll be completely up and running with it. I've started this blog primarily because I'm embarrassed I have not taken action on behalf of all atheists. We can't let ourselves be trampled over, and the only way that can happen is if we DO something rather than sit back and wait for someone else to do it. My blog is http://the-now-life.livejournal.com/ Please visit, read my entry on why I'm writing, and comment if you will. I'd greatly appreciate knowing I've reached someone, as a couple people have already assured me. It feels amazing every time someone comments or promises to read, for I know my blog will affect someone. Thank you very much. ~Sam Hey everyone,

I'm a lurker. ;) I love shameless promotion! I've been writing my blog on and off since I was sixteen, two years ago. I'm a proud atheist (okay, only proud online...) and my general blogging subjects tend to be: atheism, America, capitalism, Communism, racism, sexism, intolerance, body images, consumer culture, Christianity and religion, vegetarianism, and sometimes videogames. I'm a news junkie, vegetarian, Communist, pacifist, atheist, and damn dirty liberal. ;) My blog used to get quite a bit of activity so now I feel a little lonely. *sniff* Hey, Blue Linchpin here.

My blog <a href="http://saganist.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Saganist</a> is a place where I am exploring skepticism from the perspective of a non-believing member of the Mormon church living in Utah, because that's where I now find myself. I talk about a variety of topics, many of which touch on Mormonism or Christianity in some way, but not all do. I call the blog Saganist because Carl Sagan has become a personal hero of mine along the way, and if I were ever tempted to start or join a religion, Saganism would probably be it. I try to post a Carl Sagan quote every Sunday. All right, here you go.
