A regular reader sent me a link to this article (full text below the cut). As a former CS, I was horrified by the tone and language used, and by the commenter's enthusiastic embracing of the ideas. The reader shared two paragraphs of particular concern: If it weren’t for Christian Science, what would you do? … Continue reading Ultimate Failure & Ultimate Success for Evil.

Prin isn’t the Only One
It is nice to hear that Principia isn't the only place that takes issues with students talking about gay rights issues, and homophobia. Prin students are now allowed to "discuss" the "no homosexual activity" clause in the Prin code, but not all "small private religious" colleges are that fortunate. Small private colleges being close minded … Continue reading Prin isn’t the Only One
I’m not Failing, I’m Accomplishing Slowly.
The blog over at ThePregnantChicken.com has an awesome piece entitled Why You're Never Failing as a Mother (it is fabulous and I highly recommend reading it). It dovetails nicely with the image making the rounds on my facebook feed: It also reminded me of a conversation I had at the kid's play date this morning. … Continue reading I’m not Failing, I’m Accomplishing Slowly.

No means No, even if you’re 3

Not only do we need to use words when we interact with others, but we … Continue reading No means No, even if you’re 3
Thanksgiving, something CS does Right*
Everyone, get off your computer and go spend Thanksgiving with people you care about. --------------------------------------- While I take issue with most of Christian Science and how it is practiced today, I feel that Ms. Eddy was right to have a special Thanksgiving Service. There is no "special" Christmas service, or Easter service, but there is … Continue reading Thanksgiving, something CS does Right*
Give us Thanksgiving
There is a holiday between Halloween and Christmas, a time for reflection and giving thanks for what we ALREADY HAVE. Sadly, it has been turned into the kick-off event (literally, there are tons of football games) for the biggest, nastiest shopping day of the year. Retailers, if you're open on Thanksgiving I'm not shopping at … Continue reading Give us Thanksgiving
The Perfect Christmas
It isn't even December yet, and Christmas is already making headlines. Can we please let Thanksgiving dinner digest first?! I am so tired of hearing about "Black Friday" sales, predictions, and atheists trying to "shut down Christmas." Let it go people. There's a poll out and an accompanying NBC headline "Why One Poll says 45% … Continue reading The Perfect Christmas
an “un-green” rant
Apparently the Toys R Us boss has deemed online shopping to be un-green... and somehow everyone driving to Toys R Us on their own, circling around the parking lot to find a space, listening to canned holiday muzak and buying mass produced plastic junk is green? I've been to Toys R Us maybe half a … Continue reading an “un-green” rant
