Ever wonder what an atheist says the ten or twenty times each day when everyone else says, "Thank God!"

"The central fallacy in parenting is that it's a teaching experience when, in fact, it's a learning experience.  We are asked as parents to absorb each lesson quickly enough to convert it, real-time, into advice and counsel."
