Me and some of the people who go to the Richard Dawkins website have started our own website, Ask the Atheists. The idea is to allow people to post questions, whether friendly or hostile, and for our panel of experts to answer them. When I say experts, I mean people like me. Yes I am. I've been one all my life, and I really think I'm beginning to get the hang of it. Well, there was that brief flirtation with the mystical in my 20s, but we don't talk about that. So don't. I don't go round rattling the skeletons in your closet, do I? Well yes, maybe I do, but you can't compare my temporary gullible phase with what you did to that poor dog. I mean, people need to be warned not to visit you at home, or at least not to eat the bolognese.

Any-way, it's meant to be a kind of atheism FAQ. I think the main target is people in places like Cairo or Arkansaw, where the availability of atheist material may be limited.

Go have a look, anyway, and perhaps you could link to it on all your various media outlets. We're not coming up in Google yet, so we need the buzz.

You could also ask questions. For instance, a lot of people like to ask me, "what are you doing in my garden?" Incidentally, does anyone remember the name of the comedian I stole that line from? A more relevant question I've been asked is "Why are you wasting your time on this, when there are 600,000 dead Iraqis you could be writing about?" It's a good question (thanks, Sean), I've been thinking about our conversation quite a lot, and I've addressed the subject here. Sean, incidentally, is off to Poland on Wednesday to carry on his walk around the European coastline. Follow his exploits on his blog.

And let's have a round of applause for bitbutter, father of the Ask the Atheists brainchild.
