Atheist Homeschool

I read an article today that talked about how Proposition 8 holds a lesson for atheists. Basically, the article stated that if we want true equality we should stand up, identify ourselves and stop hiding. Not me, though. I live in a really conservative area. Plus, my kids and I will be alienated by our “friends” I use quotation marks because how good of friends can we really be if we don’t share this perspective. Well, that’s not true I guess. We’re friends, I just don’t share a deep connection with them because whenever they start yapping about Jesus, my eyes glaze over and I puke in my mouth. I am sure if they knew what I really think they’d burn me at the stake or something, which brings us to the point about why we hide. Fear. Damn straight. That’s self-preservation, it’s how humanity has survived for so long.
