The World's Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!
Tuesday...
So I had so many thoughts rush through my head. And thankfully, my ever grounded boyfriend was there to help me sort through the mess.
It all began with a rant on politics. I don't want to push religion(not religious) or demand everyone wear red and black. I just want rational and functional goverment.
Boyfriend's idea: When you are old enough, run for Senate.
I looked at him like he was nuts. But I won't say I'm NOT thinking of it...But I do believe they would chew me up, spit me out and plant crack on me..
My other rant: I want to do a non-religious book series for kids but I dunno....
His idea: How about you do that, but make one for religious kids also? Yes, I know you are not religious, but you were a fundie for 20 years and could spin a yarn(and make a coin) quicker than you can bat your eyelashes.
Me: Isn't that...oh I dunno...lying? I'm not really Christian anymore. I mean, yeah it's tripe for other believers..but wouldn't that be wrong?
Him: Nah. If they want to be that delusioned, let them be.
I still don't know. I mean YES I know alot on Christianity because I was raised by a minister(my mom), went through a few minister classes myself(still not ordained though), and came from a family of pastors....but would using that for "evil" be immoral?

Like Joe said, in a lot of states atheists can't run for office. I just moved to Texas and discovered that it's one of them, too. I should've found this out before moving, but it honestly never crossed my mind that the law might actually discriminate against the non-religious! Not that I want to run for office, though. I'm fairly shy and would be terrible at it! :)
But I certainly, truly, really wish that we had more atheists in office, so do what you can!! And I understand what you mean--the point doesn't have to be to stamp out religion. Rather, the point would be to ensure that religion and govenment are kept seperate--more seperate than they are now.
As far as the books: I think that encouraging religious thinking, especially kids, would be hypocritical and immoral, like you said. Why would you need to do a book series to help kids and also one to lead them further astray? I'd like to write nontheist books for children, too, by the way, so don't steal my ideas! ;) JK! I think that we are SORELY in need of atheist books for children!!

Did you know in many states atheist are not eligible to run for public office? Maryland is one of them, I live there. I hope you're doing alright.
Joe :)
