I've been writing cathartic letters to my ex
detailing my feelings about organised religion and my son going to Sunday school.

Anyway, I feel a lot better about that, or at least I will until she replies.

Can you not run "anti-christian" lessons?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 22 Dec 2011, 15:33, Reply)

it's fucking tempting

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 22 Dec 2011, 15:34, Reply)

i see no reason not to
There is no such thing as a christian child, only a child with christian parents.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 22 Dec 2011, 15:35, Reply)

because taking a specific side
rather than making it all about discussion of an interesting topic is better?

We'd have been less upset if you'd have told us it was the scientologists.

Actually, yes, marginally.
they are my second least favourite religion.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 22 Dec 2011, 15:44, Reply)

L. Ron Hubbard is my ultimate hero.
Publicly saying "I'm going to set up a religion ot make money" and then actually managing to do it afterwards is an AMAZING achievement.
Don't get me wrong, I think all scientologists are stupid pricks. But L. Ron was a fucking genius.

He really understood the stupidity of the human race.

Yes.
He totally nailed it. Fucking hero.

Well not really!

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 22 Dec 2011, 15:48, Reply)

I just left it up to kiddo.
When she asked me about it aged about five I told her the truth, that I'm not a believer, she took it in and carried on. A further ten years of school-based indoctrination hasn't effected her judgement - she's atheist and proud now, just trust your boy to see sense when he's older.

I told him this but his hatred runs deep.

You should have kicked it into him, right through his balls.

I love the way atheism has a way of being
less intolerant of other ideologies. Oh...wait...

I'm not an atheist, atheists are cunts.

Dear Ex
Although it's my opinion that your beliefs make you a cretin, you are perfectly entitled to them. However please stop brainwashing my son.
Yours, no love,

CQ.

Excellent, this is want I should have written, sadly I was 'reasonable. Oddly she wa s an atheist last time we talked about it.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 22 Dec 2011, 15:35, Reply)

I imagine mine was rather more succinct
mainly because he's not my kid. I would be rather more...vituperative, should anyone attempt to turn my kid Christian, or any other religion.

When I am king
you can be my minister for religious affairs.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 22 Dec 2011, 15:43, Reply)

Perhaps the sunday school thing is less about religion than it is about discipline and routine and learning and socialising.
*shrugs* I dunno, I'm clutching at invisible straws here.

very likely
ANd he has a brain, he'll either see through it of manage to turn faith into a good thing, I just hate having to have anything to do with it and for all my posturing, I won't say a word on the subject unless directly asked, and even then will be respectful, because he's a child and pushing beliefs of any kind makes you a cunt. and that's what I believe.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 22 Dec 2011, 15:51, Reply)

Can I just be minister for affairs.
