A place where I'll post up some thoughts and ideas - especially on literature in education, children's literature in general, poetry, reading, writing, teaching and thoughts on current affairs.

An atheistical thought
The simplest and easiest way to be an atheist is to just be it and do it. If you don't want to, you don't have to argue it or try to prove it. You just do all the big things and all the small things - everything - without ever referring to any kind of supernatural force. You can have wonder, mystery, tragedy, ecstasy, love, hate, memory, foresight, wisdom, foolishness or whatever - and none of it needs to be hooked to a deity. If it already comes that way - attached to a god or to worship - so be it. That's how they thought it or lived it. But they cannot prescribe how you must think it or live it. And an atheist doesn't have to tell the believer how to think it or believe it.
