Do you attend religious rituals for your family?
April 8, 2010 at 12:18 pm
We have a nephew getting confirmed this weekend and I'm not going. We will be attending the party afterwards, but it frosts me to give the kid a gift when all he's done is attend religious indoctrination classes and participate in a superstitious ritual. Yeah, a real accomplishment there!

I'm curious what other atheists do when a family member is having a baptism, first communion, confirmation, etc...

Do you go to the ceremony? Send a gift? Ignore the whole thing?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
