Honest question. Is this site a religious site?

[follderol]

It seems to me there's a large amount of Christian posts. I've also noticed a fair amount of disapproval for other religions.

I am an atheist. I don't really want to be part of a christian site posing as a parenting site.

So is this actually a Christian place?

I do feel bad about coming on here and taliking crap. Nearly de-regged just now. What should I do?

does atheism require a stern sort of biscuit?

but an agnostic biscuit is one which asks you to believe in the potential of a biscuit with wheels which can talk and crochet, surely, my dear Iorek?

You know it, Iorek. This stuff really did the business in school.

Threadie - I thought better of bringing up the religious connotations of the biscuit-baked-for-one's-partner's-colleagues.

If it's any consolation, threadworm, I have wasted a preposterous amount of time today too and am also ashamed. But also keen to answer your post of 21:03 even though I have a hundred things to do before bed where I had hoped to be by the end of Newsnight.

Oh christ Threadie you are needed here!

PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING RASH! Remember how humiliating it was being Threeeeeeadwwwwoooorrrrmmmmm?

will you please stop fucking off and stay. Honestly it is like lemmings falling off a cliff round here...

Oh, don't de-reg, Threadie - really don't. What's so bad about talking crap? Laughter and fun are the best bits about being human. Just do other stuff that makes you feel however else you need to feel at other times.

I think we should write off the rest of the day then have a pact not to talk about any of this interesting biscuit/religion stuff for two weeks from tomorrow.

Effie - atheism's not stern! Unless you're Dawkins, I guess.

It's nearly Lent, isn't it? I could regard this as a kind of pancake-chat day and give up chewing the fat for lent.

Threadie? Threadie?

Ah

Just make sure you do the stuff you think important and then come on here. It's life/MN balance.

Not at all, onebat. The agnostic biscuit simply asks you to accept the possibility that its deliciousness has an intrinsic value of its own whose source is unknowable, rather than just being a means to ensure the perpetuation of our genes by encouraging us to eat fat and sugar whenever available.

What if we were to give ourselves a specific hour in the day when we could mumsnet, like a good parent might give their child a TV or Nintendo hour.

I've asked for this to go on Classics, so mind your flounces, ladies. They'll be in perpetuity...

Or will only post on Friday night.

Oh yes Iorek. Specific hour. Not allowed to join in if have posted at other time.

hairtwiddler's dh had a clever wheeze whereby he did some trickery that blocked MN except between the hours of 7 and 9.

Its source of the deliciousness is the labour of the biscuit-maker combined with the physical reaction between sugar, fat and flour when heated. The value of the deliciousness is ascribed by those who consume the biscuit.

I feel a eucharistic turn is about to be taken

Yes, OK. Between 10 and 11?

Threadworm Fridays? That'd do. We could all get dressed up for your return. You could regale us with stories of your travels. It'd be like The Old Days.

No! Too late. 9-10? Or just Fridays?
