archaeopteryx replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"@CA - I really don't think that highly of Austin Cline - I find him a bit sanctimonious and self serving, and I'm on the verge of canceling my subscription to his newsletter, but those Einsteinian quotations were great, and I WILL steal…"
Citizen Atheist replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"Well - there's one way that might convince him... but it's kind of a dirty trick. Get him to admit that Einstein was a great thinker. Then show him this link. Read it first so you know what it says:…"
Guinevere McIntyre replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"One issue my husband posed in the last argument about this, last spring when I requested a compromise of every other week, was the ethics/morality they teach in Sunday school. I still have not come across research or stats on Sunday school but I am…"
Guinevere McIntyre replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"Thanks for your note, that is definitely reassuring. I am thinking that I need to go to Sunday school with them, which I guess will involve slipping in and out so I can check in on both. I just don't want them to be absorbing stuff as true that…"
Guinevere McIntyre replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"Thankfully that is not a concern here - while it is a Presbyterian church which does not recognize gay marriage, the pastor has actually performed one gay marriage in the church (made some people made but I guess it blew over!) One of our…"
archaeopteryx replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"I attended Sunday School and Bible School regularly all through my childhood - by 12, I was an agnostic, by 20, a full-blown atheist, while having religious parents. With and atheist mom and a supposedly agnostic dad, I can't see that much harm…"

I have decided that if their attendance just…"
Guinevere McIntyre replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"Oh of course there's always more history! None that is that relevant here, tho I was really surprised when I realized that he thought as strongly about this issue in the opposite direction that I do!"
Heather Spoonheim replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"Is this church accepting of gays, marriage equality, women's reproductive rights and science? If so, I might not be too worried. If not, I'm not sure what can be done. Instilling god-delusion into a child is dangerous, in…"
Yahweh replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"I don't understand why your husband wants your child to learn about killing, violence and hate. this is what it stands for in the religion. There's plenty of biblical examples and historical examples. I'm not too sure why these…"
Doug Reardon replied to Guinevere McIntyre's discussion 'Sunday School Research?'"Your husband's intransigence suggests there is more afoot here. "

Hi all -I am an atheist and my husband is an agnostic - we have 2 boys, 6 and 3. His parents live in the same town and are extremely active in their church, which is a pretty mild Presbyterian church that I would not be so disturbed about if they were not involving our son (and now they want the younger too) in Sunday school and other church activities.
