Yeah, the songs do totally suck. ADK ...I'll burst your pool table! 10:29, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * There seriously need to be more songs about dinosaurs. Tytalk 11:18, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * When I am in need of very good church music, there is a Catholic church around here that holds services with full orchestration, the Mass settings composed by all the greats years ago. All the parishioners have to do is kneel and stand and sit with everyone else and watch the priests and altar-boys shuffle around up in the chancel bowing and shaking censers. 07:42, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Now here's something I don't get...
How did you manage to get away with not knowing about YEC until college? Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 03:12, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No social life. None of my friends were YECs, and until high school I rarely talked to anyone else. I had heard of James Usher but felt it was obviously wrong due to dinosaurs and that we had moved passed it. My churches were not YEC and rarely mentioned the creation. Conversely, I didn't hear about evolution either. Тy talk 03:15, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Huh. My father actually walked out of his college because they didn't teach evolution (though this was 40-some-odd years ago). Apparently, they were Catholic but had some YEC nuts mixed in with the OEC nuts. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 03:22, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * My parents went with the "how long is a day?" theory. Тy talk 03:29, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

"It is rather disconcerting seeing your mother's name..."
It is always those kind of people who are most enthusiastic about upholding puritanical moral standards, since they have seen the proverbial abyss. 07:38, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Heh. You should see her in real life.--Dumpling (talk) 07:51, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you know her? Many of us in Minnesota do not know the real meaning of the word "nasty" and it is difficult for us to conceive how people could be like that. 08:36, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * KNOW her? I don't talk to her that often, because I only come over when the parents are gone---less awkward conflict. But when I do, I'm on 'Nice Mode'. Smile and nod. Smile...nod. Oh shit. What's my opinion? Erm. Erm. Erm. "Depends on the situation, really."...That's my go to answer to the majority of the questions she, or the grandmother's ask me. His sister is one of my friends (since Middle school), so I'm pretty chill with her, but I do watch what I say around her. Their dogs, cats, and gecko...I get along with just fine. --Dumpling (talk) 08:46, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Atheism books
You're leaving too many clues around, sooner or later your parents could find out you're not a Christian anymore. Proxima Centauri (talk) 18:15, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * -looks over at the pile of library books- Three Dawkins books, Darwins stuff, some survey of the old testament, and a few other evolution/cosmology/blah books. Easily visible if my parents ever went in my room; Hell, my facebook publicly states i'm Bi and Deist, but my sister and cousins know the former (and hide it for good reason) and the latter i've taken care to only make visible if you look at the extended page.

 * Sooner or later your parents should find out you're not a Christian anymore. 19:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks.
First time I've read this. Interesting. Thanks.--Bob"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." 18:31, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ditto. I barely know anyone raised like this, and my own family is pretty disinterested in religion, so it was a good read. I'm also a bit older, so MtG and Warhammer were cool in grade school (the latter being "that expensive table thing in the game store", mostly) and Harry Potter was after my time...fun bits of nostalgia. 99.50.98.145 (talk) 19:24, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
