Atheist Homeschool

You might wonder why I have a cross in my yard. Um- yeah, when I moved into this house, it reminded me of the Amityville horror, because it’s a white farmhouse, and even though I’ve never seen the movie, I think this is what it looked like. Anyways, there was a little grave in the yard, and I thought it was cute, it totally blended in with the garden ornaments, and I liked the ring of stones that was placed around it, so we’re keeping it. The kids can play funeral, plus it kind of freaks people out, which can be fun. What would you do? Would you keep the grave in the flowerbed? There are a lot of other garden ornaments, no gazing ball but I”ll get one. The flower beds are beautiful. I can’t wait to see Spring in this house.

I don’t know where gay people come from, I’m sure it’s not that big of a deal. However, I’m pretty sure I know how a mom can nurture a boy into gender confusion. Pink is just a color, OK. I guess it’s actually the awesome gal who sings “So what,” but it’s a color. Pink (the color) has no sexuality involved, it’s just a color. If you want to raise a boy with gender confusion issues, you can freak out every time he touches anything pink. And then, even though he doesn’t want to take dance classes, you can sign him up and watch his football-loving-homophobic father tease him about being girly, being a fag and make fun of him for dancing. Then, let the boy watch the parents fight over the dance classes. Because mom (who wants a cultured kid who enjoys the symphony) will be defending the boy’s right to enjoy dance classes (that the kid never expressed an interest in, 3 year olds really just do what their parents drive them to) and Dad will be projecting his misguided and lame sexuality perspectives upon a child who probably can’t even pronounce the name of his parts yet. Yeah- these folks need mental counseling. And yes, the Dad is religious, too. It’s really ridiculous, isn’t it?

What is it with Christians thinking that people are so lowly and awful? I just don’t get it. If humans were, according to their own story, created in God’s image, then shouldn’t they believe that we’re perfect? Aren’t people all born perfect? I know my kids were. Every wrong or naughty thing I can see in them is a direct result of my faulty parenting. Seriously. When they fight, it’s not because God cursed them because Eve at an apple, it’s because they were abandoned while I was working too much for 3 years and they still have some communication issues but we’re working on it. I wouldn’t dare blame some mythical woman from the beginning of time.

Christian music has subliminal messages and children should not listen to it. Why are Christians so down on themselves. I guess it’s so genius, really. Convince a large group of people that they’re all fouled up deep down in their soul, and that the only way they can be OK is if they believe some something from over 2000 years ago. It’s funny, my daughter likes to read the Twilight books, and she talks about the characters all the time. Our nazi-neighbors daughter said “You can’t believe everything you read in a book.” I thought that was ironic. Actually, my daughter caught it before I did. Good girl! Poor kid next door, I think she gets beat up at school a lot. She tries to play violent with my daughter and when my daughter says something like “I’m not coming to your house because you’re violent” She says “I’m just preparing you for school.” WHAT??? I’m sure she’s being bullied at school, she’s grown increasingly sadder as the year has gone by.
