PINKIES UP! Also, I am a heathen and I don't own a french press. However, my coffee is fair trade certified, so I get points for that. Right?!

Gone, Ms. Blossom. It's all gone.

@HandyGeek surely that can't be true, or else in a major economic downturn we'd be seeing people buying guns at a record pace and focusing on religious extremism instead of actually fixing the economy -

Oh.

I thought people liked clinging to their guns and religion during hard times. Where did I hear that?

@Kevin - Mostly things either in management or security. I've been keeping myself open, though. Had a few interviews, and there's one job I advance to the "face to face" on Monday that I'm rather interested in that is a project manager with security specialization.

But I'm not saying "no" to anything yet.

That's what Mormon Eternal Progression really is! You slowly get your brain retrained to be just exactly like everyone else's (the perfect people anyway) brain is. Heaven is a celestial brain clone factory!!

Yeay!

What kinds of jobs are you looking for?

There are a lot of points of view because people believe in many things I think we should be ourselves and believing in the power of the universe and buy generic viagra to belive in something.m10m

Oh, John! I'm so happy to have found you! Seems you used to live "right" of me, and now you've moved way left of me. It's all good. :) I'm working on my master's, too. I thought you'd find a recent blog entry of mine to mirror this one of yours in an uncanny way. http://idahoamy.blogspot.com/2011/01/internship-cover-letter.html Hope to talk to you soon!

Hehe, John, don't ever change.

2010-12-02T06:16:09.011-08:00

I just parrot back whatever is said to me. My Christmas cards will say Happy Holidays because my best friend is a Jew, some of my friends and family are atheists or agnostic, and I don't want to have to get a special card for every friend I have. As far as the general public goes if you are nice enough to wish me a happy whatever, I'll wish it right back to you. I will not have my celebration of the holidays dictated to me by idiots who have nothing better to do.

Awesome post. Well said good sir!

2010-09-16T04:36:35.409-07:00

wow, I was in Utah during that age and was kicked out because I wasn't attending the meetings. I was not attending the meetings because they were all very LDS influenced and held in LDS churches after immediately after LDS services.

2010-09-16T04:06:26.364-07:00

I'm an atheist life scout (turned 18 before I finished the final project for eagle), and I'm considering Adventure Scouts as an alternative to BSA for my sons. Besides that, my wife and I are getting them into camping, knot tying, fire building, etc. ourselves.

2010-09-16T02:15:28.581-07:00

Life Scout here in Cleveland Ohio. Yup. Atheist here too. Too bad we cant do anything about it. I loved the Boy Scouts and everything that they did. I wanted my son to do it too until I looked into it and saw the oath with God in it. Fine if he wants to. Not fine for me to lie unfortunately. Funny thing is. The Girl Scouts is the exact opposite with their rejection of bigotry. My son is 13 and they denied him the experience. Thanks BSA.
I have 2 younger girls. maybe Ill get them involved in Girl Scouts.

2010-09-16T00:08:57.276-07:00

If you talk to Scouting leaders and executives in non-LDS areas, the general consensus is that rules against gays and atheists are ludicrous and should be dropped.

The problem is that doing so would lose a lot of desperately needed funding which is required to keep running big, gorgeous wilderness camps like Philmont and S-F, which are some of the things that really make Scouting special.

Not saying they've made the right answer, necessarily, but there are reasons for what they do.

2010-09-15T18:43:00.625-07:00

Excellent for your family! Discrimination for any reason is completely ridiculous. As a former Scout, I regret their decision to choose the path of hatred and incivility. They could have been an organization of inclusion, love and hope. Instead they chose discrimination, hatred and bigotry.

2010-09-15T18:26:17.468-07:00

As an atheist Eagle Scout, I can sympathize with your decision. That being said, not all Boy Scout troops are run like the Mormons run theirs. My troop was based out of a Lutheran church, yet religion was almost never mentioned. It might be possible to find a troop somewhere that doesn't ask too many questions.

2010-09-15T17:00:16.057-07:00

As a fellow atheist I like to say I think your decision was good. As a child I missed out on Boy Scouts because I was a Jehovah's Witness. It wasn't until years later I am glad I never joined.

I couldn't agree more.
