Dysfunctional Family Fun

We've now discussed politics, guns, and now religion on ATK.

Anything else to ruin our family Thanksgiving dinner?

  1. We need a good abortion discussion.

    I for one believe we should have federally funded abortion clinics on every corner, where women of any age can get one free at any time during a pregnancy without doctors supervision or parental permission.

  2. Trickle-down economics. Tax cuts to the rich! All the proletariat buying washing machines and cheap cars pales in comparison to the multiple homes, yachts, and high-end cars 1 single rich person can buy. Multiple homes alone...that's grounds keepers, valets, maids, nannies, all in *each home*. Please. Middle Class Tax Cuts. Stalin called. He wants his brand of Communism back.

  5. I was amused to read recently that "retention rates" among non-religious families are lower than among religious families. That would make for some interesting inverted Thanksgiving religion discussions.

    "You believe in WHAT now?!!"

  6. Jay- Do you mean non-religious families are more likely to remain in their religion of birth than the most religous families?

  7. Bob - No. The report I saw suggested that the percentage of kids raised in non-religious families who become religious adults is larger than the percentage of kids raised in religious families become non-religious adults.

  8. And some of you gave me so much shit about taking my kids to church and Sunday School.

    Vindication. Statistically. We'll see, I guess.

  9. I have also read - somewhere - that a child raised without a religious education is more likely to join a radical religion.
