Dear Godless Redditors,
Thank you so much for reading my post about same-sex marriage. Before last Tuesday, I didn’t even believe you existed.
After a friend of mine submitted a link to my work to your group on Reddit, you visited the post in droves.
I posted that item Monday night. Before I went to bed, 80 people had read it. I slept the sleep of the simply dead and nothing more.
The next morning, an additional 100 or so had read the post. That afternoon when I checked the stats (I can be obsessive), I nearly soiled myself in shock when I saw the count was up to 1,300.
My best day prior to this had been 316 readers. It was the day the chicken died.
But thanks to you, Tuesday, May 15, became a hallmark day for me.
I am concerned, though, that some of you may not have gotten the joke. (BonoAnnie, I’m looking at you. Russell, we’ve already talked.)
It’s OK, though. I still enthusiastically welcome all of you as readers. I do want you to know, however, that I don’t usually mock the Bible. Instead, I assault people who mangle the English language. Or I write about rednecks. Or parasites. Or parasitic rednecks with grammar issues. (Not really, but it could happen.)
I just want you to know what you are getting. I know how you appreciate knowledge.
Also, I don’t usually write letters. But have faith, ye of no faith: Using this convention is going to help me stave off my persistent writer’s block.
I hope you will keep reading.
Yours in secularism,
Beth
Beth, you are still the best!

ProfCon, I read Reddit every day. I am often on /r/atheism for funny comics (http://i.imgur.com/gy3Dz.jpg) so I can’t believe I didn’t see your post. I would have upvoted.
