I hate to admit I did, but it is much deeper than you make it sound.

I'm sure it will play on most everything just like WoW.

I realize that. It seems my only option is to expose Ambria to my beliefs as well even though this is against my better judgment. I have also considered introducing her to all the wacky religions of the present and the past so she can see the overall lack of critical evaluation people seem to exhibit after they have picked a religion. I don't know what else to do. I also want to expose the arbitrary nature of people's choice of one particular religion over another.

Cohabitation is much simpler. There's a lot of social pressure for marriage too. People would have no clue how to act if they were as free as they claim to be.

The dock does have auto-hide, but I find it's constant presence somehow comforting.

Does Mac not have an "auto-hide" feature? I pose the question seriously.

If only tax breaks didn't come with marriage, there'd be no need for it! Cohabitation is where its at.

Unfortunately, you face an uphill battle with this position, as the absence of indoctrination more closely resembles your own beliefs than those of her Christian mother and mother's family. At the very least, the issue is more likely to be seen in this way within the United States. Also, consider the viewpoint from their perspective that the mother and her family are not merely teaching the child, but saving her, admitting her into grace. Regardless of court decision, it is unlikely they will terminate such a spiritual mission in the face of perceived godless, hell bound intruders.

Even though it is a pain in the ass, it's often better than the alternative.

One thing I learned about divorce is DON'T DO IT!

Thanks for the comment. The only distinction that seems to be made popularly between cults and religions is size. The more adherents a religious system has, the more likely it is real. Thusly, it cannot be called a cult because that has negative connotations. Cults are the same as mainstream religions but with fewer followers which may allow them to be more fanatical because they have fewer people to sway. Mainstream religions are the cults of the past that caught on. Some of the cults of today will be mainstream religions in a few hundred years or less.

I understand what you are saying it is hard to be atheist or for that matter agnostic in the right winged south. I also see how the close minded religions usually close off any other form of thinking. To me if someone is religious thats fine but the second you shield oneself from other thinking it no longer a faith be a cult. I am myself agnostic do to the fact that on can believe but never know anything. well just my thought on the blog stay cool

Thank you for the flattering opportunity! I hate that I couldn't help you with your story last night, but it was a pretty busy evening for me. If you still haven't done the story and would like my help some other time, don't hesitate to ask.

But you would be even worse off if you weren't using your gas-saving techniques.

I am thinking that my hypermiling techniques are being thwarted by my air conditioning...Sigh.

Give credit where credit is due. ;-)

I was having a great time with it, but I ran into problems with the admin interface. I hate to go on without learning that section of the book, but I can't make it work.

I just downloaded Coda and plan to give it a shot. It's certainly beautiful.

Thank you for offering help. I may just take you up on it.

Thanks for the Twitter plug!

I'm loving Django, especially since it's made things easy for a developer n00b such as myself.

For any kind of Web development, I'd recommend using Coda. It's a fantastic application by the folks behind Transmit, a great FTP app. Both are for Mac only.

Let me know if you have any questions about using Django!

Good luck with Django - it's a lovely framework. And I would recommend you to check out the book: Python Phrasebook ( ISBN-13: 978-0672329104 ). A well written, simple book that gives you the code phrases you need in almost every Python - or Django - project :)
