I am a mother of three adult children, one of which died at the hands of a distracted driver while he was riding his motorcycle. I have been to several support groups for parents like me, all perversely based on religious ideas and superstitions to my chagrin. I would like to start a group in my town of parents who lost an adult child and want the support of non-theistic friends; a place where we can dispense with the fairy tales and discuss how we are dealing with our loss as we embrace the col …

Examining how media manufactures its audience, or …

Consider this exchange from “Conan: The Barbarian”: Conan: What gods do you pray to? Subotai: I pray to the four winds... and you? Conan: To Crom... but I seldom pray to him, he doesn't listen. Subotai: [chuckles] What good is he then? Ah, it's just as I've always said. Conan: He is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, "What is the riddle of steel?" If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me. That's Crom, strong on his mountain! Subotai: Ah, my …
