It sure was fun talking about things I really haven’t talked much about in a while. It’s nice seeing my old friends trickling in to the blog again, too. Plus some new names–those never stopped, though, amazingly.

Ummm, yeah, summer is approaching its end, isn’t it?
My husband and I began putting major efforts into some other projects earlier in the year. For a while I’ve been unsure what to do about AgnosticMom because I love this blog, but it’s hard to do something well when your attention is split.
Once summer came, [...]

Some of you wanted to know which publications are refusing to run reviews of Parenting Beyond Belief. I contacted Dale McGowan and he responded that the publisher will not specify which ones actually refused and which ones just haven’t answered. Naturally, there are relationships to maintain and that is understandable.
That doesn’t mean we [...]

Some days my seven-year-old daughter believes there is a god. Hers is a god of lost pencils and favorite foods. On other days, when said god doesn’t come through to grant a wish, she announces, “I guess I don’t believe in god anymore.”

The author, Dale McGowan, sent this update to those us who contributed articles to Parenting Beyond Belief:

If you’ve been reading AgnosticMom for a long time then you know about my position on morality and ethics. While most religious people think morality comes from their god and some non-believers think it is purely a social construct, others of us (including myself) believe that humans have an innate moral sense which is [...]

My article on death and the soul (or lack thereof) is in today’s issue of the Humanist Network News. As you can see, I used Dale’s symphony analogy (and quoted him, giving him proper credit) for the title.

This topic and all the comments it generated in the last post has been fascinating. I am writing next week’s HNN article about it right now. I’ve grown curious to know how many of you believe in the continued existence of the soul after death. Even more than that I wonder if [...]
