"I was raised by parents who actually kept me out of science class all thru elementary school. I am just now learning all the stuff I should have learned as a child. I think this is sad.
Just keep talking to him and educating him."

Family is a fickle thing sometimes. Being an out atheist, in what I assume to be my entire family, makes things a little difficult some days. My immediate family and I have the occasional argument or…Continue

So I'll be the first person to tell you to ask someone for help but of course I never listen to my own advice...until now. I'm a little lost on what to do about a family friend and having mainly…Continue

I love a good documentary so I was excited to see a commercial for a new doc called Sons of Perdition. I'm not sure if this was the first time it aired on television or not, but it came on last…Continue

When I was 15 I was eager to do anything my parents didn't want me to do. Then again he could be like my sister…"
Akshay Bist replied to Devin Saunders's discussion 'My parents are trying to discourage my little brother from learning about science'"I don't think you arguing with your parents will do anything here. It's your brother who needs to speak up.
If he wants to become a doctor & wants to learn more about science then it's him who needs to convince your parents to let…"

erik112358 replied to Devin Saunders's discussion 'My parents are trying to discourage my little brother from learning about science'"I like your mother's arbitrary age limit of 18. Looks like your brother's gonna have a pretty awesome 18th birthday: porn, cigarettes, Richard Dawkins books... it'll be a blast!"
Devin Saunders replied to Devin Saunders's discussion 'My parents are trying to discourage my little brother from learning about science'"He's just about to turn 16 and he's definitely pretty firm in his beliefs but there's certainly that niggling doubt in the back of his head based on the things he's said in passing. But I definitely have to agree, it's a…"
Kenny Howse replied to Devin Saunders's discussion 'My parents are trying to discourage my little brother from learning about science'"So sad! You don't say how old your little brother is, so it's difficult to know what stage he's at. I see this as just another case of child indoctrination, brain washing and a form of child abuse which should be…"

Family is a fickle thing sometimes. Being an out atheist, in what I assume to be my entire family, makes things a little difficult some days. My immediate family and I have the occasional argument or discussion but for the most part we all agree to try and be respectful. Tonight that all seems to have fallen apart and I'm a little torn on how to proceed. I just finished reading Dawkins newest book, "The Magic of Reality" and I decided that I wanted to share it with my younger brother since he…See More

CJ replied to Devin Saunders's discussion 'Sitting on the fence about a family friend'"I like that idea being sweet but biting. Good luck"
Nate replied to Devin Saunders's discussion 'Sitting on the fence about a family friend'"
I agree, you can be corrective without being mean (might even get through some if you show the facts to back up what you say), but it seems he has a lot of misconceptions on...a lot of things. Who knows, perhaps you can shed some light…"
