We all know Kiva is goodness wrapped in chocolate.
Even better, the AASFSHNR group — Atheists, Agnostics, Skeptics, Freethinkers, Secular Humanists, and the Non Religious — is goodness wrapped in chocolate wrapped in bacon! (Sorry to the vegans on board, just substitute “tofu” for bacon or some similar thing…) 
I think the discussion on this group has been superb. Of course, as a regular contributor, I may be biased. But it seems to me that caring a lot about other people, and doing so from a particular point of view which is relatively unpopular politically, and talking about it enthusiastically, is a pretty awesome use of the Internet.
I recently pointed out that FriendFeed is also a big bowl of awesome with many groovy applications.
Inspired by my friends at Kiva AASFSHNR, I just created a new group on FriendFeed with the same name (it’s pronounced ass / fuh / shu / ner by the way). I’m hoping it will become a place for rational discussion of issues to do with atheism/agnosticism/religion/politics from a skeptical and secular point of view.
So, here’s an invitation to all people who value critical thinking, who approach life from a skeptical and scientific point of view, and who care about the political health of secular humanism. Join AASFSHNR!
It’s a place to share content you come across in your online travels, and to encourage lively discussion.
By the way, in the group description, I point out how hard it can be to label this kind of a group. It has been noted previously that there are many names we might use, and has even resulted in a campaign to adopt a new name. I may be way off here, but I’m actually kind of hoping that AASFSHNR will take off as a new meme. I don’t get any credit for the neologism if it does. That goes to the founder of the Kiva Group: Peter Kroll.
