OK, so in my nightmare my daughter uses drugs or joins the group at school called the "Bible Believers"?

Oh, I think you know what my real nightmare would be!

She wants to start a school group called, "Skeptics for Satan" All you need to start a group is 5 members.

She's kind of serious!

The school even gives your group $100! Cool!
 
Oh the pains of parenthood.

My daughter is running a lunchtime snack business on her own this year. She set it up, buys supplies, and keeps a ledger. This has been a great opportunity to learn. Much better than last year, and she's already making a profit.

Last year one of the business partners took to buying (religious) students souls (actually, this might have been in the form of sales credits), and then selling them back at a profit when they noticed their souls were gone. :rolleyes:

I had to intervene a little, I did not want her learning predatory tricks to play on the gullible.

As far as extracurricular activities go, I trust you are not seriously suggesting that you would rather your daughter became a drug user than joined a school group.

What would the rationale of that group be?
 
"Diety Disbelievers" would prolly be more fun!

Although I would much rather my child experiment with drugs than join a cult. However I would like to monitor what illegal drugs are used and how often they are used.
 
It's a JOKE!

Well, my daughter doesn't believe in Satan. She thinks it's silly of the school, which is hard up for funds, to give the $100 club fee to so many different religious groups. All of which are Xian. Yet there is horror every year from these same groups when the Gay and Lesbian group gets their $100. Oh yeah, and this year they are throwing a fit about the "Free Tibet" group. (the Dhali Lama isn't a Xian).

My daughter was just trying to think up a name of a group that would take the pressure off the poor other groups trying to just enjoy the same benefits as the Xian groups. :p

I'm a Xian, and I know one of the people my daughter highly admires is Jonathan Daniels (who lived in the same town where my daughter attends school). I grew up with Xian groups that were interested in social justice and helping those in need. I'd be happy if she joined a group that didn't just have the expressed goal of "changing public education to Bible based education." ???

My daughter is enough of a critical thinker that she is fully capable of making smart choices about drugs. That and a close relationship with her family and other adults has me fairly confident she's doing fine.

But she does like to tease me by pointing out that if she ever really wants to "get" me, she could join a Xian Hate group. You know, sort of like the ones Pat Robertson will be setting up soon! :D
 
Suddenly, the idea of 'Jackboots for Jesus' came to mind.

Thank you, Kit, that will stick with me all day.
 
Kitty, tell her to start the "Bible Evidence Study Group": We meet once a year for an hour to go over the evidence in support of a literal reading of the Bible. Where's our $100?

Uh oh, Zaay just fulfilled Godwin's Law. :D

... So you saw fit to raise with Quirk's Exception? Curious. :D
 
My son

My son is on the verge of 14 and it is mighty scarey. Dad, instead the hero of his life, is now the dimmest person on earth and nothing he says is not worthy of dismissal and contempt. We dad's are frail creatures. The mighty fortress is crumbling.
 
He'll come around. One day, he'll be coming to you for bears and a round of golf. It's worth the wait, I'm sure. :)

For bears, huh? Are we talking Gummi, or the wooly sorts with the largish fangs and claws? Just curious, of course.

"My, Taffer, what atrocious spelling you have."
"All the better to confuse you with, my dear..."

Of course, I could claim the usual lack of sleep/hangover excuse, but what it all boils down to is I'd rather just go sit down with a nice, cold, can of Bear. :D
 
If only I could get my hands on these:

How about a "Yachting Club?"

A club for the talking about yacht sailing?

EDIT: Unless you mean a "Yachting Cub", which I assume is some kind of strange, seamans beer (bear).

No, a club for doing whatever the heck you want, and you call it the "Yachting club" because if the school were smart, they'd buy you a million dollar yacht!
