"I'm coming out so you better get this party started".... 

I thought starting off with a little Pink pop culture reference might be fun, especially since I can't get that freakin' song out of my head!  So, in the wide world of blogs this is just another one.  This is one is dedicated to parenting, our kiddos, rants and thoughts from me, and well, the muddy waters we are wading through balancing the dicotomy between critical thought and a religious society. 

My husband, DaddySkeptic and I appear on the outside to be good Christian folk.  We fit the mold pretty well.  We live in the suburbs in the bible belt.  We've been married for over 11 years now and intentionally waited before having kids (shout out to all you dinks out there!).  We have 2 kids (no .5 here!), a dog, a cat, some fish (last time I checked) and rats for our SkepKids.  We are decent, ethical people raising ethical children and we are doing it without religion or spirituality. 

Though I have been atheist/agnostic since I was a teen I am not entirely 'out' about my beliefs.  Yeah, my family knows, all my friends know, but our neigbhors don't know, skepkids friends and their families don't know (but I can tell you what religion each and every one of them follow).  My inlaws don't even know!  When asked what my religion is by people I don't know well I typically respond "I was raised Jewish".  While I identify as a cultural (atheist/secular) Jew, it's a past tense response and a non-answer.  People don't seem to care that I'm not really answering their queston, but I do.  I would love to respond with an accurate statement and say "I'm an atheist".  Well, this blog is my part of my process in doing just that. 

We're bringing skeptic back....
