Have you planned for a discussion with your kids for Civil Rights Day? If you have elementary age children, I have a couple books to recommend while you still have time to run to your local bookstore.
My Brother Martin: A Sister Remembers Growing Up With the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I chose [...]
Israel left town for the weekend. Since he and I won’t be able to go out, I decided to take my three children on a date last night. Not that I don’t take them all over town everyday, but this would be for the pure pleasure of it, no mundane errands attached.
We [...]
On January 9th, a new AgnosticMom reader made the following comment and request:
I’m a new parent, a stay-at-home-dad, and born-again agnostic doing my initial groundwork for making sure our nest is well lined, insulated from destructive influences, and harmonious!
I am looking for resources, community, and information for agnostic parenting. I am surprised at how [...]
A few years ago, when my parents were grasping to understand why I left religion (okay, they are still grasping), I explained to them the issues I had with the Bible. I described my opinion that the gods have all been a manifestation of mankind’s need for a controlling power, an explanation for the [...]
My two-year-old son, Aiden, goes into hysterics almost every time we get into the car, because the seat belt makes his shirt bunch up. I try my best to straighten it, but I can never get it just right.

The charge: because of a lack of religion, which would otherwise instill higher values in me, Physical [...]
I’ve been learning about Phillip E. Johnson, one of the founders of the Intelligent Design Creationist movement, and now I know it’s a lot more dire than I realized. My argument has been that people are accepting the idea of ID, and requesting that it be taught alongside Evolution, because they do not [...]
Pat Robertson is spewing radical god-speak again. This time he’s leveled his judgments against a man suffering on his deathbed, Israeli Prime Minsister, Ariel Sharon. As usual, Pat thinks he speaks for God when he blames Sharon’s stroke on the decision to “divide God’s land.” Pat referred to the Bible, saying it [...]
Last night, while noshing on broccoli and water chestnuts for dinner, I glanced at my daughter, Trinity, and caught her staring at me. She wasn’t just day-dreaming staring at me, that blank stare where a person is really seeing PAST you. No, she was staring AT me, in a way that kept me [...]
Let me preface this post with an apology. Lately my entries have offered only two different topics: stories about my kids, and Evolution. I offer my apologies, because this post is also on Evolution. Yes, I know there are many other issues and topics regarding agnosticism. And I am finally [...]
