Empire Avenue has been the catalyst to my going all social media. There a great bunch there, and I have met some really nice people.
When I first started on there I was “AtheistKiwi, Pretty much as I am on Blogger and You tube. But then it occurred to me that if I invest in a really religious person they might not like it. And figured they might not invest in me, I was not sure which disturbed me the most, generally I don’t let the risk of offending religious people worry me when I am wearing my Atheist Kiwi hat.
But this was Empire Ave, and I need a good score. Then a person from “Iran” Brought shares in me. While flattering, I was a bit worried. Could me silly call me old fashioned. But hey , it is the “Islamic Republic of Iran” while he did not seem to worried, I felt unhappy about it. So, I changed my name to The Thinking Kiwi. It took a lot of thought to come up with that one. But it could not end there, I had to change on Twitter and then finally face book.
But I have not toned down my content. I am still a bit loud and proud with my stand on religion.
And I refuse to change my You Tube account. So it surprises me when non atheist subscribe to me to help my EA score, god bless them.
I would never sub first, I think that’s a bit mean. Same with Facebook, I very really invite friends, for the same reason, I am hidden behind an alias, they are not, they most likely don’t want “Atheist” splattered on their profiles.
So I guess what I am saying is I am a nice atheist.
To be fair, I have not subbed to overly Religious users on Twitter because “Jesus loves you and died for our sins” tweets would just set me off. So if you are a religious tweeter who has subbed to me, but not I to you, please understand it’s for you own good.
Anyways, that’s part two. There will be more parts soon.
Cheers AK.
