Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I grew up Lutheran. Even if I still believed in that(Which, eh,) the ones I belonged to aren't Rapturish.(I think there are some scary ones that are.) I used to think I was an atheist, but now I think I'm just secular. Although I'm interested in other people's religions.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So the message of High School Musical 2 seems to be that you should care more about what your friends think than about your own life and goals.

People who have made the pioneer woman's cold noodle salad, would it be crazy to make it 24 hours before serving? I have already sliced up most of the veggies, but have not cooked noodles or put the dressing on.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My atheism has become more hardline over the past year. I've found my tolerance for religious people has become strained. It's kind of isolating.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My atheism has become more hardline over the past year.
Why do you suppose that is?
I think my atheism has intensified in recent years, but pretty much just the nutjobs I read about on political blogs piss me off.
I really don't discuss my atheism that much with my friends. And I'm still not out to my family about it.

Me too, Allyson. But one of the very best things about living in Brooklyn is that there are a LOT of other atheist Jews around. (Granted, there are also a lot of ultra-orthodox Jews around. But they mostly keep to themselves.)

Preakness winner - relaxing after the race.
Do you think it's in response to the craxy from the religious right that gets craxier all the time?

For me, it was just a matter of turning 30 and letting go of a bunch of mental litter I'd been carrying around. Agnosticism was one of many things I finally discarded.
