Guest Post: Atheist High Schooler Rants

Hey, hi-ya, what’s up (a Soul Eater a reference for the one other person who has watched it)? My name is Ryan. I had a guest post on this site a while back and I thought I would write a follow up with more structure, I guess you could say. Since the last article, I have moved from rural Pennsylvania (the mini-Bible belt) to a suburban area in western Florida and moved up a grade (I’m a sophomore now). Now, despite living in a rural farm area for fourteen years I never became a “country kid”. The

Every Atheist Parent Needs: Funology.com

Ahhh, autumn. That time of year when the kids stop going outside and instead, either hog the Xbox or bounce of the walls, breaking shit. It’s not always easy to find things to do inside with your kids, outside of watch television or play board games.In my own search for things to do inside, to reduce TV time, I explored Pinterest first.

When I think of condoms, I think about the single invention could save our planet and our species. Generally, with a “bow-chicka-wow-wow” in the background.

12 Amazing Online Activities For Growing Critical Thinkers & Their Atheist Parents

If we’re being honest here, half of these activities are things Godless Mom has had way too much fun with.

Every Atheist Parent Needs: John Green

My stepdaughter is smart as hell. She’s far ahead of her years when it comes to most things, and she’s able to put together shit that even eludes me and her father. If you give her any sort of tech, she’ll have it mastered by the end of the day. She’s absolutely brilliant, but she hates school, she hates the idea of learning, and she most definitely hates words like, “science”, “history” and “math”.She doesn’t understand that half the things she loves and is great at, are mathematical in nature.
