		<title>Comment on Atheist Conversion or Religious De-conversion by Anni G.</title>

		<description>My perspective is that of a former Christian, raised in Lutheran schools and churches until my senior year of high school when I started questioning why I believed what I was being taught. 

To me, the concept of de-conversion is less of a ritual, and more of a statement. Many Christians in my family believe that atheism is a "crisis of faith" or a "temptation" that is only temporary. To them, as an identifying atheist I still belong to the church because I have not joined any other, I have just strayed. 

Of course, that's not to say that we should allow atheism to become a de facto religion. That would go against the very basis of what it is. But when you're constantly being told that "you'll understand when you have kids" it's damn tempting to throw a phrase like de-conversion in their faces.</description>

		<description>I love the power of online shopping. I found a wii online for christmas for a family member. The only problem with buying online is the fact that you will receive the gift quite early and it is tempting to keep it for one's self.</description>

		<description>After I picked out a gift for each of my in-laws they collectively sent me a check.  They told me in a typed letter that they didn't know what to get me.  It was very impersonal and really hurtful.  I decided to send the money back since it misses the point of Christmas gifts anyway.
Needless to say, I will not be giving gifts to them next year.</description>

		<description>So let me get this straight. . . Oh-my-god is basically another, yet controversial, way to say "WOW". People started texting oh-my-god, which means "WOW". Oh-my-god takes too long to type so they shortened it to three letters, "OMG", which means "WOW". . . OMG PEOPLE!! WHY NOT JUST TYPE "WOW"!</description>
