Ok, so I feel bad for my snark and coldness in that last sentence to you AFT because I understand you are trying to be nice to me. But you can't just accuse me and my mom and dad of child abuse and figurative "criminal rape" of our own children, and then say something nice to me and expect our interaction to end in warm fuzzy feelings on my end. It's really not ok. You have the right to your opinion, but I also have the right as well as every justifiable reason to not be on good terms with it. I think you can relate if you think about how you would feel if a theist came in here and said it was child abuse and criminal child rape for a parent to convey their atheism to their child. I imagine you wouldn't feel good about the person who said that, and rightfully so.
No, no sexism on my part if that is what you are accusing me of. It's because my child who died was a boy, so he is who I think of when I imagine my future child.

It just shows me just how narrow minded and bigoted some people are, which is good to know and keep in mind from here on out. Thanks for the half compliments nonetheless I suppose, after continuing to tell me I'm going to "criminally rape" my child by conveying my faith to him.
You're welcome. Also interesting you didn't say 'him or her'; are you just hoping for a boy or, since the last time I read a thread of yours regarding difficulties conceiving, have you succeeded and gotten the ultrasound to confirm the sex of the unborn? Or maybe it's just that lingering taint of sexism the bible contains that says in no uncertain terms you're the inferior of man. Boy, god sure knows what he's talking about, such a lovely equal-opportunity kind of guy.
It wouldn't be half as farcical if you freaks didn't teach your kids a fiction of a fiction. You aren't even being objective about it, glossing over the obscenities, putting their minds through the wringer so they can be happy that Noah's neighbors all drowned instead of being properly horrified. Hell, if you actually DID teach it to them objectively, you'd either end up with psychotic fundamentalists who'd probably turn on you for being a blasphemer, or they'd just turn away from it altogether like a sane person. So not only are you guilty of preying upon their young, undeveloped sensibilities, but you're lying to them about what's actually in the fucking book because you know damn well you can't actually defend it. Tell me again, this is 'the best of your knowledge'. If that's the best you've got, how are you even still alive? Shouldn't you have forgotten how to breathe or thought an oncoming car was just jeebus coming back to give you a big hug?

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
