I'm *not* comfortable, I live in the southern US! My kids have bible quotes in their history books as if they (mythological characters) were historical, atheism is not viewed as a possibility let alone a sensible alternative possibility, my mom's a Holocaust survivor despite having had a secular family, my dad failed to survive the first carbombing of our embassy anywhere by islamic fundamentalists despite being a pacifist atheist Quaker, sorry, religion is way too tolerated here, this place puts a parent's determined (and pigheaded) disbelief in the biological reality of our species ahead of a child's right to education, the time is way past comfortable.

Whew. I feel better now.

But I did see your *if* and I meant to say so, but upon rereading, you're right, I didn't. But ew ick, loving surviving death, Treacly (not Trickly) Sweeter it is.
