		<description>Nothing but praise for the content.

My only request is a bit of an aesthetic &amp; navigational polish to the site.
You have quite a lot of content, but the site comes across disorderly.  Maybe find a designer to work with and give the site a thorough UI reworking?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know - I did write a guest piece for Friendly Atheist earlier this year, mostly to raise awareness that poly families *exist* and ideally shouldn&#039;t have to fear persecution if they want to &quot;out&quot; themselves.  I&#039;m not sure if you&#039;d be interested in that sort of thing, but I&#039;m all about educating.  

My two partners and I have been together for over three years now, and while we&#039;ve found that (secret, closeted) poly people are much more common than we&#039;d thought, it&#039;s something that non-poly people are largely unaware of, except in the context of religious polygamy.  Many people seem to have initial reactions that include fear and disgust, and I want to combat that.

If you are interested in a guest piece, feel free to e-mail me.  And thanks for replying.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The second question is surprisingly controversial, and it&#039;s what I was expecting to read about in your article, given the title. *That* is what I&#039;d like to know your position on, if you don&#039;t mind. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Other than my general position that rational and consenting adults should have the right to do just about anything they please, I don&#039;t know how much else I&#039;d have to say on the topic. Having never been in such a relationship, I don&#039;t know very much about the issues that are involved. Juliet, are you interested in writing a guest post on the topic, if it&#039;s something you&#039;d like to see pursued further?</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been here since the beginning, and it remains one of my favorite sites, so I have nothing but praise.

One thing I&#039;d like to see is a series, or maybe a FAQ, for advice for how an atheist might handle certain tricky situations.

For example, I&#039;m currently living in a highly Catholic country and was walking in the street with a friend, her daughter, and a puppy. The puppy was sadly hit by a car as the girl watched, leaving her devastated. I saw the girl later happily chirping that her puppy was now in heaven. So, what could an atheist tell her? Heaven actually makes some sense, in the same way we tell kids about Santa. Questions like this have been on this site before, and it was always interesting to get not just Ebon&#039;s opinion, but that of all the commenters here.</description>

		<description>Well, it seems that Adam has addressed the only problem I had with this site---he finally banned cl. 

Honestly, I mostly stopped commenting because with everything else I have going on in my life, I just don&#039;t have the time and energy to devote to debunking his serial nitpicking and quote-mining. 

I love having and reading thoughtful discussions--even arguments--about almost any subject, but it just grew tiresome having to weed through his thread derailments and get to the core of the subject. Good riddance.

Thank you, Adam, for this awesome site and also to all the regular commenters.</description>

		<description>Ric,
I&#039;ve &lt;a href=&quot;http://whyihatejesus.blogspot.com/2009/12/theism-predicts-introduction.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;started&lt;/a&gt; a short series to deal with these supposed predictions.  I&#039;ll probably break it into 3 or 4 posts in order to deal with the questions a little bit in depth.

Ebon,
&lt;blockquote&gt;Several people have mentioned finer-grained organization for the archives, and that&#039;s definitely something that I could do. Perhaps the best way to do this would be implement post tagging in addition to the major categories, as a lot of other blogs do. Anyone have any suggestions for specific tags that should be included?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Descriptive tags that are longer than one word would probably work the best.  Perhaps something like &quot;Atheist morality,&quot; &quot;Political atheism,&quot; or something like that?  Just a suggestion.</description>

		<description>Sweet, OMGF, I&#039;d love to read what you write.  Honestly, I&#039;d do it myself-- wouldn&#039;t be too hard-- but I don&#039;t have a blog and I am swamped writing a textbook right now.  The last thing I want to do is take on another writing assignment.</description>

		<description>Ric,
The Uncommonly Dense threads would have the responses...if you want to wade through the thousands of pages of those threads.  I&#039;d be willing to write up responses to those on my blog as well, although I&#039;d have to do it this evening.</description>
