I can’t read the link because I get the following message: > [@](#): > > **You are seeing this page because ads cannot be shown** > > ## Ads allow us to pay the content creators of this site. > > **Why is this happening?** > One of your browser extensions is blocking ads or scripts > > **How to fix this:** > Which ad block extension do you have installed? > > **Adblock Plus** > Click the red octagon with “ABP” on the upper-right hand corner of the screen. > Select **Disable on \** to allow ads. > Refresh the page. > > **AdBlock** > Click the red octagon with the hand on the upper right-hand corner of the screen. > Select **Don’t run on pages on this domain** to allow ads. > In the “Don’t run AdBlock on“ dialog box, select **Exclude**.

So if my ad blocker isn’t Christian, is it Atheist or some other religion? :dubious: Seriously, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a site _not_ load because of an ad blocker. There is certainly irony in a blog called “Friendly Atheist” not allowing one to participate unless you participate by their rules & see their message their way. ---

There is certainly irony in a blog called “Friendly Atheist” not allowing one to participate unless you participate by their rules & see their message their way. Amusingly, NoScript prevents their AdBlock blocking behavior. I could read the whole article. I then disabled NoScript and I got their demand to disable AdBlock. ---

I use Adblock Plus on the PC and Ublock Origin on the phone, and never have had (and continue not to have) problems accessing the site. BTW, any blocking wouldn’t be limited to (or blamed on) a single blogger on the site, which hosts dozens (maybe hundreds? I’ve never counted) of blogs. ---

Good for them! About time someone did something about free riders (and no, I do not work in advertising). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/grrr-til-about-bible-belters-flagrantly-violating-the-establishment-clause-with-open-school-prayer/788399.md?page=3)
