Perhaps at the same time.
While browsing WikiHow.com for tips on how to sleep in the heat I scrolled through their list of Requested Articles. A member submits a question to the universe, and someone smart (or cocky) comes along and answers it in a How-To style article. These tutorials vary from practical requests like “How to wash overalls in the washing machine” to gems such as “How to help your mom get rid of her boyfriend” and “How to know you smell when you can’t smell yourself”.
For the sake of all things educational, please go check it out and answer some of these questions if you have the expertise. Especially the bit about the boyfriend. That could get messy.
In fact, here are a few of my personal favorites that caught my godless eye:
How to be a liberal in a conservative church
How to regain your faith in Christ
Help these poor folks, heathens! What would you tell them?

Newsflash, heathens: Skeptics/Freethinkers/Atheists are all over twitter! [Can you tell I have a hard time labeling the godless?]
How involved can you get with a website that asks “What are you doing?” Wait, don’t ask. Just smile, nod, and think of a good username.
Here are a few brief reasons you should be using twitter:
1) For the people. You are not alone–I promise! Twitter is a fabulous resource for you if you are: still in the closet, surrounded by religion, living far away from freethought communities or groups, or just those who want to have camaraderie. There is always conversation to be had and friends to make. You might even discover someone close to you. Networking is an obvious plus for anyone who wants to make connections with seculars.
2) For the brain. The links just keep on coming. From blogs to news, forums, research, and silliness–the godless tweeps will always keep you informed and entertained. Get a secular taste of what’s happening in the world, and keep your brain humming throughout the day. I have so many articles and blogs to read now that I can’t keep up with it all! Follow a few scientists and artists and enjoy how your knowledge and appreciation for the natural world expands.
3) For the lawls. My tweeps are wicked fabulous. Tossing around sarcastic banter, shirking propriety for a laugh, and having an all-around swell time will keep you healthier and happier. Just don’t forget to get off your flattening arse and take a walk.
Bonus! It’s better than any holy day service!
Jump on the godless train!

Not everything in life is about baby eating and orgies to pagan gods (or is it?). Sometimes we need to spread some practical love around the internet to make life better for everyone! Here’s my tip of the day:
Loud neighbors? Trouble sleeping? Road construction? Nagging spouse? Then have I got the solution for you! Free white noise from SimplyNoise.com to help mask the outside world and bring you peace of mind. You can use the online generator (which includes oscillating noise if you prefer a soothing rhythm) or download the files for your iTunes or Windows Media Player.
I plan on using this tonight to add some noise to the dreary silence that is suburban living. Enjoy!
