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.
Thanks for all your thoughts on the last two posts! They were amazing to [...]

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 [...]

I don’t usually wait this long between posts. It’s been a busy week with a number of issues to deal with. As I sit here typing I am trying to decide whether to drown you with a list of them or not. Should I use my blog as a chance to get [...]

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 [...]

I have a request for a discussion topic. From Hifi:
I would be interested in hearing here from anyone else as to how they approach the subject of death with their children. How do you do it? If you don’t have children, what is your own view?

This week’s installment of the Humanist Network News is out today and includes my article, The End As We Know It.
I quoted two AgnosticMom readers who contributed to the discussion about death in the comments section. Since it would have broken the flow of the article to name them, I wanted to [...]

My best friend, Tami, just had her birthday and we decided to celebrate at a cozy, yet contemporary wine bar and bistro, D’Vine.
We love the atmosphere at D’Vine, but we especially love the food. Oh, and the wine is really good, too.
At one end if the room is an inviting circle of three love [...]

The first thing I said to my husband today, when he got out of bed and greeted me in the kitchen, was, “They closed the hospital ER for 3 hours yesterday because it was so over-crowded.”
I don’t know what the ER is like where you all are from, but here, you know you’ll [...]
