Being an Atheist parent in a Christian land

[salty]

While others around them will take medications, have immoral sexual lives, drink too much alcohol, commit suicide and become addicted to drugs or something else, they will know that these people have not found a dependable source, only a temporary source.

Way to really nail the rest of us Salty.

Regular Sodom and Gommorah in my house, my poor kids eh? Has it ever occurred to you that you pass judgement on others almost inconsequentially in your normal manner of speech (at least as far as what I've seen on these boards)? I don't think you even notice it, it seems to be a part of who you are. Where do you figure a behavior like that would come from? Is this the sort of speech your children see as an example of how to walk in the presence christ? Do they imagine that we're all somehow drugged up, fucking men in the ass, drunk, on the path to suicide, needles in our arms......as a result of the lack of christian dogma in our lives? Doesn't sound very very balanced, sounds like coercion (you don't have to believe, but this will happen if you don't).

I didn't place any of you in that situation, I don't know your personal stories. I said "others around them" these people I speak of, could be Christians too, Christians that are depending on the church, Christians who are depending on themselves. There are lots of scenarios, I'm saying that children will compare their parents with other influences in the world and decide what they want. My kids will have the right to do that too.

I consider my speech to be calm, sometimes I'm aggressive and sometimes I'm not. It would probably be more convenient for me to agree with everything you're saying, but I have my own opinion and I'm sharing it. No harm done. No one has to listen.
