Atheists, how did so many of you find out about the R&S section of yahoo answers?

Was it that you first saw it being promoted through one of your many blogspots and forums?
http://www.thinkatheist.com/forum/topics/yahoo-answers-religion-and?page=2&commentId=1982180%3AComment%3A65630&x=1
Was it that one day you found some videos about it through youtube, metacafe, google videos, myspace videos, etc?
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=yahoo+answers+religion+and+spirituality&search_type=&aq=f
Did a friend told you about it through, email, chat, myspace, twitter, in person face to face, etc?
Or did you discover it by yourself one day out of curiosity by going to the Society & Culture / Religion & Spirituality section for the first time?
It looks like (& it is) yahoo answers is a popular atheist hot spot, but I still don’t think it’s as popular among atheists as youtube or digg. Correct me if you think I’m wrong on that.

Curiosity when I came upon a search engine hit. On the front page of Y!A I saw a men's section question about a penis and laughed out loud. Then I found R&S, the rest is history.

If Yahoo solutions had an atheist section... it can be a god sent. Heck, i could be in heaven. haha. i'd desire to confess that I easily have worry each and every now and then listening to all the believers. ...yet what could I do with out them? they're form of like that one imprecise relative on the relatives reunion that talks approximately in struggling with wars that got here approximately earlier he became even born all evening. i admire them. hi! i'm following the bible already. Love my enemies. I now have morals! Thank god for that.

I googled a question on the net- and found Y answers. I checked out this section because I wanted to find out more about republican fundies.



I tried to see about it in the politics section at first but it gave me too much grief.

I was following the Pastafarians ; then the Flying Spaghetti Monster touched me with his noodley appendage and suggested I troll for believers. The believers were here. So I threw out my hooks.



I've come to believe that it is time to face up to the bigotry and hatred that is bred in the mainstream churches.

You'd think you would be pleased we atheists have found this particular section in Yahoo Answers. Atheists being here gives Christians opportunity to convert/reform/save those of us who are damned. Don't you get, like extra Jesus points for that?

I just saw a ridiculous question on the main page that I just had to answer, beginning my love/hate relationship with the R&S section.

I used to answer a lot of questions in Law & Ethics section of Y!A, but I found R&S to be easier to answer and more fun, because you don't actually have to know anything to respond to the questions posted here.

After my first account got banned for arguing with 14 year old conservative trolls, I looked for somewhere else, this is the closest place to politics

ummm...I just went to Yahoo Answers and looked at the catagories. It's not some secretive club or something...

I discovered it myself, through my e-mail. I had my address and this 'Answers' thing kept catching my eye, so I checked it out and I was sucked into the Black Hole we call R&S.

I found it because I was interested in discussing religion. Was it supposed to be a secret?
