Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)
Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post.

And then, of course, "just this once" did not hurt that once, so it probably won't hurt again...and then it becomes routine.
ReplyDeleteYes, parenting can be bad for your health.
No doubt about it at all, parenting is potentially bad for one’s health - not exclusively but also by virtue of the fact that if one is actually in perfectly good health then one is potentially in poor health!
