We use ads at our new site as well. Besides, unless the Christians convert the clickers, they just spend money. You're taking Christian money and investing it. ;-) Nothing wrong with ads.

I dunno… if there was some kind of “worthy cause” that needed the space…

like, say that space and time magazine you’re always plugging,

you might want to allocate some potential addspace to them.

but if there’s a potential to generate some revenue for AA, which is a good cause in my mind, there’s no reason not to let that illegible ben stein movie take up some space.

Its bizarre. id like to be able to roam the internet without the hand of the dumb sticking its thumb in every single thing i do. <br /> but then again im a very angry atheist. perhaps it annoys me more than most.. the only reason it bugs me is that, from past experience things like this can confuse new readers. theyll come on here and see these ads and may assume that this site panders to both opinions. a few times ive come on here and been a little annoyed that even here, there is a chrizzo presence..
