Godlessgirl.com has been live to the world for one whole year! Every single cliché about time passing you by, flying, or otherwise moving swiftly applies here. When I decided to create this blog, I was certain I would become some sort of internet phenom, bursting onto the blogging scene with something new and different that would charm the readers into subscribing, commenting, and loving me into online stardom.
A girl’s gotta dream, right? As I discovered after beginning Godlessgirl.com, I am only one rather unremarkable voice within a chorus of thousands. I gathered no fame, no large following, and (I am rather surprised to say) no hate mail. Am I disappointed? No. I’m thrilled to have a community around me of writers, thinkers, and friends whom I admire and enjoy. I especially want to send a shoutout to my tweathens! Thank you for being there for me and supporting my copious rants, links, updates, and musings. I may never be someone truly remarkable, but I know this blog has helped me make the startling and stuttering transition from “newborn angry closet atheist” to “more relaxed ready to come out atheist”. I’m on my way!
Thank you all for reading, commenting, and being a part of my life! Let’s continue to converse and know each other better. Please drop me a note anytime or ask me anything.

Do you lament at the state of sin in the world? Do you feel like just being alive in the 21st Century is a dirty, poisonous venture? Are you afraid of not seeming holy enough if you don’t mention Jesus and God every 5th word? I’ve found a solution just for you!
Here’s how to whitewash your culture and appear really faithful to your friends without having to give up the things you like:
If the world gives you something fun and secular, don’t despair or give it up out of conviction–Christify it! You shouldn’t settle for something that works great and everybody uses. Don’t let Satan fool you–Christify it! Change it to fit your special, spirit-filled niche so that it will seem better, cleaner, holier.
Take successful and innovative websites like YouTube, Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter and steal their ideas. Slap Jesus on it, censor all the yucky out, and you’ve got yourself a few sub-par websites like Tangle (formerly known as GodTube), ChristianSpaces, and Christian Chirp.
Don’t worry, it’s not just about websites! You can Christify anything including Jewish holidays, kosher salt, yoga, and video games!
So don’t worry, folks. If ever something comes along that doesn’t mention God or the Holy Spirit, you can just save yourself the hard work of self-control, boundaries, and good judgment and make a new version of it for Jesus! You never know–maybe those godless sinners will see your happyhappyjoyjoy modifications and decide they can accept Jesus now that they know they don’t have to give up stretching and rap music.
A variety of random junk that will somehow make your life better lies below!
