		<description><![CDATA[This is a typical conversation between a Christian and a non-believer:
Christian: Abortion/homosexuality/[insert incredibly incindiary topic here] is blah blah blah.
Atheist/agnotic: (smiles and nods)
We smile and nod because we know Christian beliefs are respected and other beliefs are not so much, and if we say something precisely as offensive/inane in response, we will be treated as [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been slowly making my way through a nightmare recently, and believe me, elements of what I&#8217;ve gone through will end up here, as there is a lot of privilege involved. But due to what I&#8217;ve gone through, it may be a while before I have the headspace and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I got a fortune cookie which said:
Your happiness is entertwined with your outlook on life.
For the first time in my life, that sentiment did not piss me off. In the past, it always did because it blithely dismisses the fact that if you don&#8217;t have much power over your own life, your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a child, I believed the US &#8211; and many other nations &#8211; really were intended to benefit every citizen who made an effort, and what caused them to privilege some groups over others were flaws in the system. Then around age eleven, I came to believe the systems themselves were really designed to create [...]]]></description>

These assumptions are often of no consequence, but on some occasions they&#8217;re offered in justification of why no one should be trying to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ETA: This post is US-centric, and I should have made that clear. How much or little it applies to other countries, I can&#8217;t say.
As soon as employers made college a necessity for jobs of any significant income (and even some of shockingly low income, such as &#8220;receptionist&#8221;) back in the 80s or 90s, college started [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three states passed bans on gay marriage in the national election a few days ago. Regardless of where you fall on gay rights&#8217; issues and the definition of marriage, this should frighten you because it is, plain and simple, the beginning of theocracy. Neo-Christian fascism. Sieg heil, Fred Phelps.
I was so livid about this for [...]]]></description>

I wasn&#8217;t taught we were being persecuted because public schools didn&#8217;t include a Christian prayer, and fuck the non-Christian kids who had to sit through it politely.

		<description><![CDATA[Last night I watched the presidential debate. One of the questions was (paraphrasing): do you see healthcare as a right, a responsibility or something else I&#8217;ve forgotten. McCain said responsibility (of the government to make sure affordable healthcare exists) and Obama said it was a right for people to have healthcare.
I see it differently. I [...]]]></description>
