How to Make a Christian Not Try to Convert an Atheist – wikiHow

– Don’t hold their trying to convert you against them. Just let it slide.
– If and when discussing religion, maintain a calm and chatty demeanor. Do not become overly emotional, angry or frustrated.
– Explain your position, but don’t market it. It’s important for them to know that you have a reasoning behind your decision, even if they disagree with that line of reasoning.
– Don’t try to avoid religion altogether, because it’s nearly impossible and because it will eventually become the elephant in the room. It is better to grow used to a healthy disagreement than to become under-exposed to it.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
