If you’ve been reading AgnosticMom for a long time then you know about my position on morality and ethics.

There was a request that I ask Dale McGowan in his interview if he believes we have a soul, and if so, where it goes when we die. The question didn’t really fit with the others so I am posting his answer here in a new post.

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 [...]

I’d like to respond to Dan, who has been in the midst of a conversation with Dudley on this blog. I am copying Dan’s last comment where he quotes Dudley, which I have put in italics, and then gives his response. If you struggle with the lack of context, you can see the [...]

Wow, has it really been almost three weeks since I last posted? I never thought I would let that much time go by without blogging! There has been a little bit of seizure-drama but all is ultimately well for now! I’ve certainly been enjoying my focus on scrapbooking, I must say. [...]

We’re back home and I managed to return sans sunburn and weight-gain. Not having gained weight was the loftier achievement since the resort was all-inclusive. Yes, that’s what I said. My husband’s company provided us with an all-inclusive packaged resort vacation. The activities were all-inclusive. The food was all-inclusive. [...]
