Two points of business.
Number one is to answer a question from MomSquared: I am curious whether the name Trinity is religious in origin or not?
The origin of Trinity’s name happens to be the movie, The Matrix. That’s it. We were Mormons when we chose that name and Mormons reject the concept of the [...]

Actually, that was orginally me.
This post is to answer a question from Jennifer:
I know this question was already raised, but I don’t think answered, who teaches your daughter about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit? (I’m agnostic, just wondering).
I know I have forgotten to answer a lot of questions. If I passed you [...]

It only takes reading a handful of my posts to figure out that my personal beliefs are one hundred percent atheistic. I think this causes confusion for some readers. Among many reasons for calling myself “Agnostic Mom,” one has to do with the way we are raising our children. Our family is [...]

I cannot wait to hear everyone’s opinion on this one. I picked up Blake from school and he handed me a flyer for The Good News Club, saying he’d like to join. In case you’re not from a more religious part of the country or world, this is a Christian club. Blake’s [...]

Two Christians have recently asked me this question; one was specifically referring to the recent difficulties with Trinity’s health. If Christians had more atheist and agnostic friends they’d see there really is no difference in the ability to get through the day. The only difference is the emphasis on methods.
Yesterday’s installment of the [...]

I am FINALLY getting around to a subject that a reader, Dan, requested we discuss. In a comment Dan said:
I’ve had some time to read some of the earlier posts. I’m interested in the idea that “nature is all there is”. [I’m thinking, nature = the physical world] If I understand post #8 correctly, [...]

“Will you teach me something that is college-level?” my ambitious and competetive soon-to-be third grader requested.
I was reading the Sunday paper so I tried to do a little dodging. “You have to learn all the elementary stuff before you learn the college stuff. That’s why we go to elementary school first.” Then [...]

Have you ever let the common phrase, “Have fun!” slip out when the recipient is headed out for a funeral? I have. And while I wouldn’t call Saturday’s funeral for my husband’s uncle fun, I can say that it was a purely enjoyable day. Beautiful, moving, emotional, sad, but enjoyable.
The unexpected death [...]

My six-month search for an answer from God that the Mormon Church was true culminated in divine silence.
Although I was sure after my hours-long quest in the temple that it was false, I had not actually been expecting that conclusion. It came as a surprise I wasn’t ready for.
So the grand finale of that [...]

I’m surprised I don’t get more comments like this one from Cody:
I have been checking out your site. I have a question for you, do you know how old you will be when you die? Will you be 70 or 45?
Did you know 155,000 people die every day. That is right ten out of ten [...]
