I’ll Take My Coping Mechanisms From Skepticism, Not Religion, Thank You Very Much

The Family Skeptical

We have been in the thick of moving, and it has been… at time. We didn’t even think to mention the weird AirBnBs and hotels we had to stay at. (If you’re going to categorize something as a bedroom, it should have a door, right?) But we’ve been coping, and we discuss how much skepticism has played into handling these kinds of situations better. We also talk about working to be credentialed by the Creator Accountability Network.

Now to links:

• Creator Accountability Network

• This is the Dad Tired podcast’s episode Be Wary Of Good Times.

• And I was really off, because the podcast that did the episode about critical thinking is Truth. Love. Parent. And we are going to be talking about them more because they have gotten confusing in a way that I think religion can sometimes cause. But I think the episode I was talking about was Do Your Kids Know What It Is To Think? Though it also could have been Anti-Intellectualism and Your Child.

• And if you want to hear the sad meow that Clea does when she’s about to york up a hairball, go to 37:20.

The Family Skeptical: We’re a married atheist couple raising two wonderful, strange children. We ask big questions, dissect weird parenting moments, and examine how society ignores or misrepresents families like ours. If you’re any stripe of non-believer who’s involved in raising children, welcome! You are our people.

Our kids are Reader (10) and Go (8), and if you want to find out how we arrived at these peculiar pseudonyms, go back to Episode 1.
