BitterSweetLife

We interrupt the BitterSweet Manifesto saga to bring you breaking news. A few days ago I received this email. It's hard to imagine irony any better-conceived.

Congratulations Ariel! Members of United Universists, the global freethought movement, have selected your site as an excellent Faithless Site! The Faithless Site Awards are presented to carefully selected websites that proudly demonstrate secularism, pluralism, empiricism, and eschew religious faith as a valid worldview.The forces of religion have successfully made "faithless" a dirty word in today's society. We are fighting back. We will wear the badge with pride... With Reason, United Universists. (emphasis mine)

Heh heh. I'm trying to picture the various scenarios that could explain this turn of events. Did someone with a devilish sense of humor nominate BitterSweetLife to Faithless? Did some hardened atheist stumble across this blog, feel "existential" longings well up inside him, and in an act of covert defiance, rebelliously place my site on the list? Maybe Faithless should just fire their search committee for unfaithfulne—uh, negligence. Regardless, someone had better warn them before they unknowingly undermine the un-faith of their flock.

If I start getting ip referrals from their website, I'll know the subversion has begun. How funny would that be?

Ah hah hah hah hah! (evil laughter)
