I could go on for days about my hatred of religious idiocy.. as well as much steadfast dislike for Miriam's current ideas of how to raise her children. I read their family blog, mostly to keep up with what's going on since Sebastian IS my stepchild. Is it wrong for her to incourage Sebastian's calling Brian (her husband) "dad"? She always refers to ( Read more... )

I'm not trying to offend anyone on my friends list, especially those close friends who truly believe in a personal God and whom I care about. Atheism gets a serious bad rep in our society; people think that atheists pillage and rape, who knows what else, because we do not have morals from an invisible entity. I honestly believe that the "morals" ( ( Read more... )
