WHY THE "ADULT CONTENT" WARNING, YOU MIGHT ASK ...

This blog-making template allows one to pretty much configure the blog in any possible way. Including the warning that you all see and must pass thru in order to read my blog.

And you might rightly ask, why is the warning necessary? Am I going to see 'adult entertainment' photos and the like?

The answer is a blunt 'NO'.

But adult content may include - as in the intended case of this blog - discussions about matters young eyes may not be ready to read. I would include under this heading matters dealing with religion, religious-inspired body mutilation (all for the Glory of God, you understand), adult emotions, family rejection and other such topics. Not that I wouldn't want children to learn that rational thinking and questioning mythologies isn't right and pertinent; on the contrary, that's the point to my whole life: getting people to think and thereby question the myths they've been taught to believe blindly.  But I also understand that not all parents wish to raise their children to think; they actually prefer to indoctrinate their children at an early age to follow, yes, as sheep follow the shepherd (funny how many religions use this analogy!), the flawed storied they themselves were misled to believe at an early age when rational thought was not available.

So the warning, and the pause, are for the children of parents who deem it right and just to brainwash their children so they are always fighting the uphill battle towards sanity when it comes to religion; so these children who listen to the Bible stories will indoctrinate their children through endless generational cycles, ever growing the rolls of the church faithful, the blind followers, the unquestioning sheep.

That pause and warning are not for the skeptics, the freethinkers, the humanists, the agnostics and the atheists, for already we are hungering for discourse and seeking logical discussion.

And it is just such discourse and just such discussion I hope to bring to these pages.
