Didin't have time to read much but I'm so impressed by what I see. I'll come back and probably devour all of it over time. I'm an agnostic myself and find myself rather odd in this country (I'm from France.) Thank you again for a wonderful, informed, intelligent blog.

I haven't known you to be so dramatic or sentimental for that matter. …”and her voice grows sentimental as she tells of striking contrasts” …
I haven’t known you to be so dramatic or sentimental for that matter.

What is a Christian Scientist? I tried to get an idea through the e-zine before my interview and but realized it was just a newspaper. Chanson-That's an interesting theory--we naturally adapted safer practices are our family size shrank? Very good point. Mothergoosemouse-I agree with that assessment. What is a Christian Scientist?

Hanson Sun, 02 Jul 2006 06:17:47 +0000 http://www.agnosticmom.com/?p=164#comment-1748 When I was around eight or nine we lived in a subdivision that was being built. I used to play unsupervised in constructions sites and do other very dangerous things. I'm almost sort of weirdly nostalgic for this in a Tom Sawyer sort of way ;-) But I don't intend to allow my own kids to do the same. I agree that we have very different ideas about child safety today than even one generation ago, and I'm glad -- I think it's a very good thing. Personally I think it's the result of lower child mortality from disease and smaller family size. Actually I'm planning a blog entry about this in the next few weeks...

Which isn't surprising, but at least you got some publicity. (My husband was raised as a Christian Scientist.)
