No apologies necessary.

There is something to be said for some form of spirituality in a person's life. Even an atheist subscribes to a common sense of humanness in behaving, at its core.

The big inside family, bruhaha, with my 10 year old is about logic. For instance, how can he talk of heaven or hell if not to believe. That actually comes from my 13year old, the one that I've struggled with moral values, yet, because of a recent post in PC, I'm seeing as more a strive to cut apron cords and grapple with his separation from my thinking than as outright rebellion and a long life of antisociety behavior. But I digress.

Their father used to joke that church structures would crumble upon his entry. Has he embraced any form of spirituality? Nope, not at 53 years of age, but he's also not living with me under the same roof. But that happened when the kids were too young to truly remember.

Atheism isn't just a catch all.
