"The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium."
This is a short extract from a lot of footage shot of me at Speakers’ Corner, in London, inviting questions on atheism and theism. I had a sign and everything. It was great fun. For those not in the know, Speakers’ Corner has a long tradition of unrestricted public oration – however, those speaking often don’t answer questions. I aimed to redress this imbalance. Hopefully this short video prefaces a longer, more detailed one in the near future. The sound quality is not amazing, but you can hear us clearly enough here – the whole “you have a choice when hell is a consequence” is one of my favorite things to question/refute. I don’t intend this clip to show amazing refutations of a sophisticated opponent, it’s just reasonably concise and fun. Sadly, a lot of the other footage is practically inaudible, partially as a result of the Abba tribute band warming up a few hundred yards away. Clearly I turned off the colour and dicked with the contrast, because I looked like a heaped plateful of ass. You’ll just have to cope with this. And thank/sub this guy for filming it: www.youtube.com/fountainrock
Writers not writing for a living often find enjoyment and small payouts from Web sites seeking material to raise their sites higher in the search engine rankings. Although this is a legitimate practice, the writing being published on the Web can often be less than professional. This lack of professionalism distorts the line between qualified and amateur writers. Writing standards are often not the highest priority as Web sites seek to drive traffic to gain advertising exposure. It seems as if readers are not as concerned about the writing quality, as long as they find a relevant account on a particular topic.
