Praise be to Chin

I wonder if religion would be good for My Future Kids. Not the for the morals or for salvation. I'm thinking that maybe the community that comes with a religion might be good for them. Or maybe I could just have friends. I sometimes forget that adults can have friends. Even so, a solid religious community seems like a good way of turning a big town into a small one. It's a kind of curse that I'm too much of an atheist for a good religion and too white to join the local minority community. Woe is me. 

Even though I am an unbeliever, I would not be greatly opposed to My Future Kids having religion. I would find it a little unorthodox, to be sure. Unless, of course, Spouse is a Jew, in accordance with The Plan. Maybe I should take My Future Kids on weekly religion-of-the-week field trips. Only to the nice religions though, the ones that are okay with unbelievers in their midst. I'm not gonna lie, religious people are kind of scary. Especially Eckists. Holy shit. So nice. They got the crazy eyes. Remember how you think it's silly that they have a golden temple and classes about your past lives? Well prepare to turn that into guilt in the face of their unwavering acceptance of you. Terrifying.

Oh my god, what if all my adult friends end up being My Future Kids' friends' parents? That would be the worst. Who wants to be friends with a bunch of parents? They'll judge my parenting style! Well, I tell you, I will just have to judge them right back!
