Of course, that might have something to do with his dad running an atheist blog or two and a Secular Student Alliance group. He tried to wear a "Don't believe in gods? You are not alone" button to a Scout meeting once!<br /><br />We eventually stopped going to the Scouts. Not because of anything religious, but the leaders changed and the new one couldn't really run a meeting. He was going to the restroom in the middle of the meetings to break the monotony! <br /><br />Thanks for reading!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254092138590309074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982449234612952793.post-82097736350417186262011-11-16T21:09:53.035-05:002011-11-16T21:09:53.035-05:00As an atheist myself (like you), I don't find ...As an atheist myself (like you), I don't find it too be to bad to be "in the closet." I don't think it is really necessary for people to know the inner workings of my mind. With that said, I can see your point and find being "forced" into the closet to be pretty disheartening to anyone. Hopefully you can just enjoy life for what it is, in or out of the closet. Fortunately, at the end of everything, it doesn't matter a whole lot. I'm glad you allow your son to go to Boy Scout meetings despite their idiotic stance on religion and atheism. He enjoys his time there, and most of the other children probably don't know the difference between religion and atheism anyways. While the organization may be flawed, I'd expect the actual people working there may be different then the ideals.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100576942721177236noreply@blogger.com
