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 [...]
A lot of you have asked me to address the topic of social interaction as a non-believer. Let me start with the topic of “coming out” to those who always knew us as a religious church-goer; to those who are likely to see major changes in us and wonder why. We can talk [...]
The fun thing about having a party for a nine-year-old is that the children are old enough for us to do away with the balloons and instead go for more authentic Harry Potter-type decor. Yet they are young enough to delve into their imaginations and and put themselves into the story.

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 [...]

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.
Ben is right. Religious leaders did (do) not just throw a dart on the wall to randomly pick rules of conduct. But many of the rules sure seem arbitrary, especially when you see headlines like [...]
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.
