I wanted to say hello. I'm James Allen. I've lived in Fay for about 6 years. Mostly I wanted to let you know that I posted on my blog about the article in the AR Constitution banning Atheists from holding office or testifying in court and right now its on the front page of reddit.com. So, we're getting some good publicity on the issue. This link goes to the comments on reddit, some of them are pretty funny.

I hope its not too spammy. I considered linking straight to my blog but that seems like it would cross the line to me. I thought you guys would be interested to know about this. If you do want to see what I originally wrote, there is a link on the reddit page to it.

Welcome aboard, James!

Indeed! Thanks for the plug!

Thank you for your consideration. As a moderator, I generally check all links and delete ones that are inappropriate. As long as there's substantial information as opposed to ads everywhere, I'll let links remain. (If you haven't already, please read the General Information forum, which contains our guidelines and policies.)

For a clearly freethinker-related subject such as this one, feel free to post your entire article, or an introductory portion with a link to the remainder (especially if you'd like blog hits). We don't censor articles here at FFForums merely because a blogger wrote it. In fact, we try to censor very, very little at all...

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a private message or post in the Help forum.

Here is the link to the article on my blog. Be warned that I was kind of angry when I wrote and it has some foul language. Usually I don't write like that.

I forgot to add in my last post:

The way I see it, that part of the Arkansas Constitution gets every atheist out of jury duty.

Or a subpoena.
Actually that article has been getting around this morning. (I wish I'd taken the time to actually write out a well-spoken position now. Usually, my wife is about the only person who reads my blog. ) In addition to reddit, its been on Fark (the politics page anyway) and Metafilter. It's always good to expose bigotry
