Deep Thoughts: Submissions

Submissions

Article Submission Guidelines

This blog accepts articles written by other writes in two categories, original content and guest posts.

Original Content:

If you have an idea for an article, please start the process by submitting a synopsis of your idea. If it fits the general theme of my blog and is well written, I will publish it. You get a byline and a link back to your blog or website. Submissions should be focused on one of these themes: Atheism, Theism, Religion, Clergy Sexual Abuse, Blogging, Photography, Popular Culture, Book and Product Reviews, and art. Of course, these are just a few of the things I post on, so don't be afraid to submit an idea in another category.

A word on poetry - I love poetry. If you write good poetry and would like to publish it here, please submit it.

A word about photography - I love photography. If you take good photos and would like to publish one here. Please submit it.

Guest Posts:

I spend a great deal of time documenting religious hypocrisy. Several of my readers suggested that I paint an entirely to negative image of Christianity by doing so. That is not my intent. Until recently, it was not something I thought about much. People I care about brought it to my attention, so I’ve given it some thought and changed my mind. I don’t like being a source of wholly negative information. It’s depressing.

I will accept guest posts from people with an uplifting story to tell. I have a few rules.

The stories must not preach to atheists. I’m not interesting in using my blog for proselytizing. I don’t try to convert Christians (or any other religion); I expect the same courtesy in return.
I can refusal your submission.
Submissions are subject to my copyright notice (Creative Commons).
Submissions must have a title.
Submission must have an author who I can credit for the submission.
Cross posts are okay.
Previously published content is okay.

Who will I accept guest posts from? I will accept guest posts from anyone. I started doing this to give theists a chance to post, but it’s open to non-theist bloggers too. I’m after stories that are uplifting from all camps.

How to submit a story:

Send me an email at mojoey@gmail.com.
Put Story Submission in the subject line of the email.
Include the full text of the story in the body of the email.
If linking to a news story, please be sure to include the hyperlinks.

I like your hat. I also have a Tilly hat. I wore it through Europe a few years ago. I had compliments and a couple of offers to buy it. :)

I have one of the craziest documented stories you will ever come across. A story of how a conman with a well documented criminal history has defrauded myself and my family. This story needs to be told as he is a career criminal involved in international narcotics, international money laundering, domestic narcotics, fraud, theft, suspected murder ect... and the powers to be ignored our pleas.... Make no mistake he is not to be underestimated, however he made some serious mistakes that if presented, revealed, and comprehended he will go to jail. ... I AM IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING FORWARD WITH CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS WITH VALID PROOF.... ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A TRULY UNIQUE CASE OF WILLFUL MALICE AND DISHONESTY THAT IS POSSIBLY ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING CASES ANYONE COULD FATHOM? .

Just reading a bit on your site. This is in your About: "It started as an effort to confront Christians who told me I could not be moral without God. I started collecting the most heinous examples of clergy sexual abuse to use as a counterpoint to their position. I started asking the question, what is the point of Christian morality if their pastors are immoral?"

Not to sound arrogant or anything, but your premise is sincerely illogical. You made the jump from a finding morality through God to the morality be based on the holiness of the pastors/ministers/clergy, etc. This is quite illogical. It is also just a very old heresy in the Church (just rephrased to your specific circumstances). The morality of God, the holiness of the Church, etc. does not hinge on the holiness of those in it or those who are the ministers/pastors/clergy. Christianity has never made this statement, nor does it believe this. The Donatists tried condemning St. Augustine for this very reason (to no avail). The Church is holy, even if the people aren't holy in it. Jesus knew this. That's why he pick Peter as his first leader, giving him the keys. This is the same Peter who denied him three times. I truly wish people would be more logical, as much of what I see as conversation on Facebook, debates, etc. are largely based on feelings and circumstances and have little to do with having a good, logical argument. Too many fallacies rampant on the internet and in our culture.

logic... fun times. So, if a Christian tells me I cannot be moral because I am not a Christian and I point out that being a Christian does not make one moral, I somehow miss the logic train? I don't think so. Sorry.

Hey Mojoey, thanks for giving the straight up answers. Im a Christian but i do not belittle others for their religious choices or lack there of, and i thank you for doing the same. You are the first atheist i have ever encountered who does not verbally attack and put religious people below them, and for that i thank you and applaud you.

You can't be moral whether or not you are a Christian. Being a Christian doesn't make one moral, just forgiven by God.

NOT ALL OF MY POST WAS POSTED

I find it quite sad that YOU and OTHER atheists are ONLY concerned about predators that claim to be affiliated with a church. What about all those out there who are not and are just as bad or worse???????????? Lets just IGNORE them because they do not claim any church or christian affiliation.

I highly doubt that the NUMBER of people not affiliated with any church is less that those that are.

Lets hear about those sick immoral atheistic perverts. I am sure your blog would be overwhelmed with them. You people are so obviously prejudiced that you will NEVER receive the support of me or anyone else affiliated with the true Christian Faith.

YOU WILL LOSE THE SUPPORT OF ANY MORAL PERSON WITH THIS ATTITUDE!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be nice to see representation of ALL SICK PERVERTS not just those who claim an affiliation to any church.

None of my post was posted, so let's do it again.

You seem to have a grand ole time pointing out the failures of some as an indictment of all.

There is an old saying: Do me a small favor and Don't blame me for what another Christian(or so-called Christian) does. I will do you a gigantic favor and not blame you for what other non-Christians do.

Deep Thoughts, huh?
