New forum subsection idea - Family & Parenting?
January 20, 2014 at 3:07 pm



Reading Cinjin's Jesus thread, and the recurrent threads of young people facing coming out to their families, as well as knowing the unique challenge that atheist parents face, I wonder if an explicit subforum devoted to "Family & Parenting" wouldn't encourage the development of a resource that both old and new members would find useful.

Any thoughts?

Not knowing about anything technical, I think it's a great idea!

Sounds like a good idea to me.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Yeah, I wouldn't mind it either.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Sounds like a great public service idea! Smile
But... How would it jive with the deconversion stories?

I don't mind it, not a parent, and as a mod, another forum amongst many won't really make a difference.

Keeping it in the family? Exciting.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
