So I've been thinking. We need to do some outreaches here on Goodreads. There are groups out there that have discussions on God and stuff. I think we should be there to set fact from fiction. You never know if what you say there will change their lives. So, some places we should be at are:

-Speaker Geeks!
-Largest group on Goodreads


I have been trying to tell people on Speaker Geeks!, but its hard because its a 5 to 1 fight. I need help. What do you guys think? Any other groups you know about that we should be at?

That's a suicide mission. Seriously.... So naturally Im probably gonna do it... It's gonna be hard I know it already.... Im gonna get shot at for sure. It's a bad idea, it's a good idea. There is no hope, there is some, though little.

Im gonna regret this. I know it already.

Maximillian (maximillianthefirst) There is always hope.

brooke1994  (formerlynarnian525) | 2099 comments Don't forget Paige: Nothing's impossible with God. He can turn anyone's situation around, including yours. Please don't give up.

Im just sayin. That's a really deep place. Going in there alone would be the equivalence of going into a tank full of hungry sharks.


message 11: by Maximillian (new)

Maximillian (maximillianthefirst) Didn't Daniel go into a lions den?


message 12: by notyourfriend, ~Forgive Me~ (new)

notyourfriend (amemori) | 4058 comments Mod
Yea, but... That's different.


message 13: by Maximillian (new)

Maximillian (maximillianthefirst) How?


message 14: by brooke1994 (new)

brooke1994  (formerlynarnian525) | 2099 comments Yeah, how?


message 15: by notyourfriend, ~Forgive Me~ (new)

notyourfriend (amemori) | 4058 comments Mod
It just is. Im not Daniel.


message 16: by Maximillian (new)

Maximillian (maximillianthefirst) We didn't ask you to be but you seem to be telling us that God has no power and it is stupid to even try.


message 17: by brooke1994 (new)

brooke1994  (formerlynarnian525) | 2099 comments Who said you had to be Daniel? If you believe in God, Paige, then trust him too.

From lots of experience, it kinda is.

Jennifer (gwenhyver42) There are times to take risks, and there are times not to take risks. Wisdom is knowing the difference between the two.

Yea, I kinda LACK that. Like, a lot. My curiosity or stubbornness or a mix of the two takes over and yep... Bad stuff happens.

Do it!
If I hadn't taken those exact same risks, I would not be here. And you all would know far less about atheism.

I entered enemy territory. Now I'm waiting still for the blow. I posted on a thread about the Satanic Bible. And so far only got one persons attention. The creator/mod of the group. And as far as I can gather, he believes in it and lives for Satan....

Dee | 2703 comments Mod
Oh, I was just wondering which one of the groups mentioned in the above posts you went to when you said you entered "enemy terrritory."

It's filled with different things about religions and ethical debates and more.

I will. Though I doubt it will help.
XD

But if there is a Theistic Satanist, it would be nice to meet them.
