If you had asked, "Do gay parents have programs like this for their young children?" might that have been considered either hopelessly stupid or despairingly bigoted? Yes. I'm kind of leaning towards hopelessly stupid. And if that's the case, wouldn't it be just as bad if you asked a similar questi...

Is it impossible for a devout Latter-day Saint (like me) to just be curious how atheists find productive activities for their children? In the context of your opening question, tell me what you mean by, ‘productive’. Canpakes, I'm pretty sure I meant anything that isn't destructive. Perhaps I could...

Do atheists have programs like this for their young children? Kevin, your pretended naïvety is charming. Morley, why do you think my naïvété is pretended? Substitute other identities into that sentence and see if you can see why the question might be offensive. Do Catholics have programs like this ...

I just wanted to follow up on this. kevinsims, I am having a very difficult time believing you don’t know how offensive this is. And if, by some some small chance you didn’t mean it to be offensive, then the level of naïveté exhibited here is monumental. What exactly was your intent in making this ...

It’s pretty clear ks’s strategy backfired on him here. Marcus, does everybody have to have an ulterior motive for everything? Is it impossible for a devout Latter-day Saint (like me) to just be curious how atheists find productive activities for their children? My strategy didn't backfire; my strat...

The first and third Wednesday of each month my grandson (who my wife and I are raising) enjoys going to Activity Day for Boys, an hour of playing games in our church's cultural hall with a dozen boys roughly his age, facilitated by two adults who do a pretty good job of finding fun things for them ...

The childrens services are similar. Tack on school and extracurricular activities the children and teens in our area don’t lack for things to do, social activities, nor opportunities for personal growth. I don’t really understand KS’s premise for the topic. Doc, I didn't really have a premise. I wa...

As the early Church got off the ground and rubbed the rest of society the wrong way, culminating in the pioneers moving west, how many families who originally found themselves in stable religious homes with programs for children ended up joining Mormonism, only to leave everything behind and go wes...

Where's my exactly do you live, KS, that you face such limited and restrictive opportunities?

Springville, Utah. But, come to think if it, our library does have a lot of activities for short snorts too, so maybe Springville isn't as limited and restrictive as I may have implied it was.

I am a devout Latter-day Saint, and yet I do have doubts about what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches. I'm aware that the Unitarian Universalist Church often functions as a sort of church equivalent for atheists, so maybe there are programs for kids through them. Is there anyt...
