Gülşah's story on Pharyngula!

*Türkçesini metnin altında bulabilirsiniz.



You might remember the atheist contest we had on September. We published the essays of the winners (and of two guest authors as well) in Turkish. We sent the story of Gülşah, one of the winners of the contest, to PZ Myers' blog Pharyngula, where he started to publish testimonials with the subject "How I became an atheist". And it was published today. You can follow the link here to read her story.


PZ Myers is a professor of biology in the University of Minnesota, and his blog is one of the most visited and most prestigious blogs among skeptics all around the world. We celebrate Gülşah once more for coming out and telling her story to the world, and strongly encourage you to respond to PZ's call and send your stories.

And, last but not least, we thank a lot to PZ Myers for publishing this story and for providing the opportunity for all of us to share each others' experiences.




Gülşah'ın yazısı Pharyngula'da!



Hepiniz hatırlayacaksınız, geçtiğimiz ay sonuçlandırdığımız ateist yarışmamızınbirincilerini (ve konuk yazıları) sizlerle yine burdan paylaşmıştık. Bu yazılardan Gülşah'ın yazısını PZ Myers'ın Pharyngula isimli blogunda bugünlerde yayınlamakta olduğu "Neden ateistim?" serilerinde yer alması için gönderdik. Yazı bugün yayınlandı, şu bağlantıdan okuyabilirsiniz.



University of Minnesota'da biyoloji profesörü olan PZ Myers'ın blogu dünya genelinde skeptik camianın en çok ziyaret ettiği bloglardan. Gülşah'ı saklandığı yerden ortaya çıktığı ve hikayesini tüm dünyayla paylaştığı için bir kez daha tebrik ediyor, sizleri de PZ'nin çağrısına kulak vermeye, kendi yazılarınızı yollamaya davet ediyoruz.

Tabi yazıyı yayınlayan PZ Myers'a da teşekkür ediyoruz!

Hey you! The Atheist! Come out for the contest!



Would you like to tell your story and get some amazing books? We want to hear your stories and give you amazing books in return.

As the Out for Beyond team we decided to organize a small atheist contest. Our subject is: How did you become an atheist or how did you realize you were an atheist?

The first 5 atheists who send essays will receive one of the following books of Richard Dawkins, depending on her/his own choice.


There is more! We will share one (maybe more!) essay(s) that we select among the contestants here in our blog. And the author(s) will receive not only the three books above, but will also get one of the two sets of books below. English or Turkish set of books will be the author's choice. Waiting for your essays, friends !




Oh my Zeus, did you hear that Garajımdaki Ejder is also one of the judges of the contest? Yes, the one whose videos and posts we are mad about !

Details:

You have 2 weeks to send your essay (Deadline: 29 September 2011). The evaluation will take another two weeks and the results will be announced on 13 October 2011.

We may post the selected essays anonymously if you'd prefer that.

Length doesn't matter.

You can send your essays to outforbeyond.yarisma@gmail.com .
