This story was left as a comment on a previous post. I identify with a lot of it, and I’m sure many of you do, too, so I thought I’d post it here.
From Shok The Agnostic
What would cause a pastor of over 20 yrs to leave the ministry? My reasons and story are uniquely [...]
I’d never heard of Frank Schaeffer until I listened to Terri Gross interview him on Fresh Air. Schaeffer has chosen to stick with religion–he left fundamental Born Again-ism in favor of the Greek Orthodox Church–but is surprisingly honest about his respect for atheism and his admission that his inclination for faith could very well [...]
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 husband sent me this link. I love it. I realize my religious readers may (or may not) find this offensive. But it is the reality as we (most of the AgnosticMom readers) see it.

There is an excellent question from LaShawn below. It is thoughtful, and in my opinion, totally fair. I was excited to answer it when I read it.
Hello Noell,

Very interesting that although you claim to be agnostic you practice yoga. You would think that such [...]

According to a neuroscientist I am watching at a science convention right now (watching the video, anyway), there is a subset of neurons that fire when, for example, we get poked with a needle. What we now know is that these same neurons will also [...]
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 [...]
