This is the place to post that hilarious irreligious YouTube video, an irreverent, anti-religious cartoon, or other humorous bit of media. Posts that do not reflect an atheist/irreligious theme will be deleted. (Don't make me go Old Testament.)See More

There are a few Bible stories that make good myths. The creation story (minus the evil snake) is kind of cute. Here's a book that puts them all on an even level: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Creation-Stories-Around-World/dp/0152387420 You…

Shouldn't the bibles and bible related stuff be held in with the greek and other myths? It only makes sense to you and me. We've studied up a lot on myths Sue, that was the easiest way for me to gently explain how I feel about religion to…

Thanks Andrea, I have been to the UU for our local humanist meetings, but never for a 'service'. I will see if this comes up again, in the mean time I think I will try to make more of an effort to have a running dialogue with my daughter…

You could always invite your daughter's friend with you to your local UU Church. See if the invitation goes both ways. http://www.uufwilmington.org/

Thank you guys so much for your responses. SGecko, you brought up many of my initial fears. I try to teach my children what is what in life, so they can decide on their own, without coming off as a militant Atheist(it's just not my thing, and I…

Why don't you just go with her next time. That way you can see for yourself and offer her specific reasons if you decide not to let her go back.

When my daughter was little, I let her go to Sunday school with neighbors. I didn't like the song she was taught there, about throwing the devil in the river. I didn't want her to be afraid of the devil, but I kept letting her go. One…

Would you allow your daughter to make her own decision about going to any other social club which you felt was a bad influence on her? I can understand the challenge you face in not wanting to force your views on your child but you can rest assured…

Mya what an interesting topic you have brought up. I faced only one similar incident about two years ago. The invitation was to spend a Sat night at a friend of my sons and go to church the next day. I politely declined. I have heard it said by many…

Methodist... not too bad on the scale of crazy (but every church is a bit different). I think there may be one or two non-believers hanging out in most Methodist churches.

Thanks so much John. I think I probably would've taken my frustration to the yard and done a weeks worth of work in one day had I not had this place to vent to. It is a methodist church(I asked when she first went) and I'm not sure how the…

The age of brainwashing.

Posted on April 12, 2010 at 3:30pm 14 Comments

So a few weeks ago my ten year old daughter stayed at a friends on a Saturday night. Before the sleepover her friends mom mentioned that her daughter had to be at church at 8 am and could my daughter go with her. I told her that would be up to my daughter. She decided to join her friend, and I asked her to kindly refrain from making any comments that could be construed as rude about what others chose to believe in. Well, a few days later my daughter gets a phone call . . . from an adult from… Continue

"The mind plays tricks on you. You play tricks back! It's like you're unraveling a big cable-knit sweater that someone keeps knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting..."





Seriously folks, I will get around to posting a real blog, I'm sure after the holiday is over I'll be at my wits end with having to listen to hubby's catholic family pray over every scrap of food we eat.

Mother-in-law informed me… Continue

Greetings, Mya! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.
