I don't plan to teach my children that any sort of religion is real, though I have no doubt that if they take after me, and their grandfather, they'll certainly be fascinated by it from a folkloric perspective.

If you think I'm bringing baggage please let me know, because otherwise I don't think I am. I struggled more to believe and pretend I believed than to "deconvert". There was no one bad event or series of unfortunate ones. For a while I was peaceable with it. It's only the way I observe that religious people treat others that makes me loathe organized religion, not something personal that I carry around like a chip on my shoulder.

When i saw the 'whats the harm with camping' thread I was going to tell my story of staying in the new forrest when a horse broke into my tent and ate my bread.

After reading the thread it does not seem appropriate.

Carry on.

This is what annoys me the most with religion. Those who 'believe' simply cannot see the kind disruption their so called peaceful religions have on the world.

I'm all for people believing whatever made up fairy tale they want, but the majority never can seem to help themselves from poisoning the minds of others.

A good friend of mine is pissed at the fact that I posted that Pharyngula link on her page because "most of religion is peaceful and loving" and apparently PZ disrespects that.

No. I'd rather expose her to the fact that her little view of God is not the norm in the rest of the world.

Information is a fairly effective tool of demolition.

I prefer to lose a friend by telling the truth, than keeping one with a lie.

I didn't say I was lying to her. I'm just not dropping her. I happen to like her.

Some people will do damn near anything to avoid thinking, Summer. They find thinking scary.
