We have become a nation of whiny pouters.<BR/>When my daughter went to kindergarten, she would cry about this thing and the next, and she would cry if her feelings got hurt. So the teacher would take her to her older sister's classroom for comfort and reassurance, and yada yada blah blah.<BR/>When the teacher told me why she did this, I instructed her to say the following to my tyke:<BR/>"Why are you crying, Rachel?"<BR/>And if she says why, you must tell her that isn't an important enough reason to cry.<BR/>And if she says her feelings got hurt, you say this:<BR/>"Our feelings aren't that important, Rachel. They will change in ten minutes anyway. So please stop crying, or you will have to go and cry in the bathroom by yourself"<BR/>Well, the teacher was appalled that I suggested this, it ran against everything she must have been taught, but I did this in my home, and I expected a certain amount of discipline for her in the school as well. <BR/>I think atheists are just spoiled kindergartners whose feelings are always hurt.Mother Effingbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264056812587985898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1162234312252625522006-10-30T10:51:00.000-08:002006-10-30T10:51:00.000-08:00Hmm, the whole of my comment didn't seem to take o...Hmm, the whole of my comment didn't seem to take on the new site, so I'll post it here . . .<BR/><BR/>>>the closed circle of atheism, which is, after all–now please, don’t get me wrong here–the “devil’s perspective” of reality<<<BR/><BR/>Oh, I dunno, maybe not all that metaphorical at the end of the day.<BR/><BR/>"You *#%*@ primitive with your *&$^&# imaginary devil!"<BR/><BR/>Ah, what do you groundlings care? God, devil, all the same to you. Of course, the modality of consciousness which would allow one to perceive the reality of both is lost on you. With exceptions. I know. I think one form of spiritual Enlightenment is that which, paradoxically, knows that it is not Enlightened to any great degree and simply desires to know more, to find out if there's any substance to this reportage of spiritual experience.
