Did you know today is World Humanist Day? Me neither. At least not until I read this article in the Humanist Network News.
I have an idea of what you can do to celebrate it. Some of my articles are now up and running on ClubMom. You can rate them and leave [...]

Perhaps “arbitrary” was the wrong word to use when I wrote last month’s article for the Humanist Network News.

The following article is out of season. It is a new version (about 90% new) of a previous entry I wrote last February. I rewrote it for submission to ClubMom and decided to post it here, since it contains new information. It is a good reminder that there are important things to [...]

I finally took some initiative and submitted an entry to the Carnival Of The Godless!
What finally motivated me to get it done? The great founder of COTG, Brent Rasmussen of Unscrewing the Inscrutible (Brent, what do you call yourself in relation to COTG? Probably not the founder?) commented on one of [...]

Have you been following the on-going discussion in my earlier post, A System For Morality? It’s good to know we have some very educated and thoughtful readers here.
We’ve gone into some more complicated specifics and I feel I the need to break my system down into its smallest parts. Please excuse [...]

We might be making some headway.

I realized I needed to get this post up when I saw that Gregg 100 is already commenting on it. Hifi has also responded back to him, but they’re having to do it in the previous blog entry.
If you are not subscribed to the Humanist News Network, this week’s installment hit our [...]

They are only eight, six, and three years old. There remains much to be seen. But it helps to take a periodic look at how moral or immoral, how healthy or unhealthy, how successful or unsuccessful my children are to date, now 4 years without religion in the home.

Why do they hate us? Why? WHY?!
I thought I’d start off with a bit of drama. Just to get your attention.

The following article was written for the Humanist News Network. Meant for publishing this week, it is being postponed until next week because of a fundraising campaign. I wanted to make sure AgnosticMom readers get to read it before the Easter holiday.
