What do atheist parents do if their children want to have a religion?

What do atheist parents do if their children want to have a religion?

Ideally, they would respect the child's choice just as I would hope that religious parents would respect their child's atheism.

I suspect, though, that since religion is such a touchy subject neither situation is particularly common.

do mods read deleted posts?

do mods read deleted posts?

We can, but don't unless there is good reason to do so.

Deleted or erased or both?

Ha, I erase half of mine without ever posting...I'm in big trouble, lol.

I have a habit of over thinking and trouble getting my point across, sometimes, so I'll type paragraphs and ramble and then decide it's not worth it and erase it.

Some people are just expert at twisting other people's words to mean something else.
Or it just seems that way if I'm having a hard time expressing myself. This post is a good example of one I would normally erase and not post but I'll leave it to make a point, lol.
Love you guys.

You need to stop thinking about it so much - you've pulled the trigger on a few posts lately that were well worth it. Your contribution matters, Lady!

I don't think what you delete before posting gets saved, except in drafts. But if you post a post, then that is still recorded, and can be seen by mods.

The draft thing can be annoying....keep finding stuff I didn't post sitting there.

Related: Are men not supposed to say "yum"? I've been lead to believe that is a word reserved for women! Can we say "nom" instead?

No, I'm afraid "nom" is also girly.

And they say men lack vocabulary to describe their feelings. Here is why!

I'm half kidding about that being girly, but it's true that men don't seem to say it as much. Like emoticons, women use them more, it seems.

love it!!!!!!!!!

I tend to just write as I feel or think it..ok for general chat but not so good in serious debate.

If it is a serious topic I will do the same re-jig, move sentences round as I am concious that posts can often be misunderstood or misinterpreted.

Is that because you have to be in touch with your feelings or at least know how to spell feelings in order to be able to openly express them????

Can ear wax be used for hair styling?

 

[AspireToExpire]

Cut out the middle man, save some $ grow out your hair and use it to clean your ears, voila.

Well, most of the Mexicans I've met have been pretty benevolent, and if I'm to believe Fox News they're already invading. So I'll be at home.
