I had a "not religious but spiritual" coworker say that to me when she found out I was an atheist. "If you don't believe in God, I don't understand how you can be a moral person. No offense." I was like, "Offense taken!"

Atheist here raising my kids in the church of choice - choose who you are, what you want, how you feel...what matters and most of all, don't be an asshole in those choices. I think this is really interesting stuff - even though the alternative storyline would not have changed my perspective in anyway - but I wonder…

I was raised by godless atheist culturally Jewish parents who also had a strange personal affinity for Greek and Russian Orthodox art and architecture. As a result, I was very religiously confused as a child. When I was little, we lived in Germany, where religion class was mandatory, although parents could opt out…

I was raised in a non-religious house by parents who had very strict religious upbringings from different religious traditions. I remember actually having conversations about what they believed and why and what I believed in and why. I was actually encouraged to know what I believed and think about why I held that…

A prison, huh?

Dear Jane,

I hope he finds out he is number 4 in the rotation because his dick game is kind of weak.

"the one where she prosecutes war criminals."

But that's the way an effective justice system works. Everyone, no matter how horrible they are, deserves representation and a fair trial.

My new stand mixer did make pizza dough even faster. So I guess we had pizza more often after marriage.

I think chemistry can develop over time. Someone else mentioned having a "type" they're attracted to that was actually bad for a relationship. I was the same way. When I started dating my boyfriend I had a "type" that he was not — I had tended to date smart kinda dickish alpha dudes thinking that all the competitive…

I dunno, you just know? And kind of hope it works out?

Previous to my husband, all of my relationships ended within 3-6 months. I knew I wanted to marry my husband within three months and told him so, we were engaged after 8, and now it's 4.5 years later. I dunno, you just know? And kind of hope it works out?

We could just arrest PUA's. I'm sure there's some law on the books about it being illegal to pollute the gene pool.

Let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe he's just a PUA who took negging way too far!

wow, this is horrible. If it'd been a general email, I would have rolled my eyes.

Yeah, in real life I just grimaced and walked away. But in the article, I called her a mean name. BUT SOMEONE EDITED IT OUT. Apparently, Millihelen is not my platform to passive aggressively name call people who are mean to me at preschool pick up.

For those who are curious how this actually works, from the New Zealand Herald:

How do I start working for these people????

I'm still sad about my dress appointment. I invited my mom and my sister. I was so excited to be getting married, I guess I just wanted to feel special. I thought they would like being asked, huge mistake. My mom checked out, mentally. She was like a doll or a shell or something. Barely spoke. My sister squinted at me…
