ESOF 2012 will be held in Dublin next month which prompted me to take a look at how science is doing in Ireland, especially how it's doing in education.

I'm quite the space nerd, and have found that my two year-old points out Saturn, Earth, the moon, and the sun in images! Needless to say I'm super proud. And she's going to love the images you post, while mommy loves to learn from your blog!

I'm getting into your blog too. I definitely am not of the "all religions are stupid" viewpoint. I just get kind of strange about organizations. I have never found one that I agree with entirely. Maybe it has to do with your upbringing too; I was raised by a pretty free-thinking mum who never belonged to anything and just pursued her spirituality on her own. But then to people raised in a religion, religion must seem totally normal!

I find your comment intruiging, it is a view many have expressed. I can understand what you mean in a sense, that the rigidity can seem to detract from the greater message, its a point I want to explore in another blog at some point.

The post has attracted attention from non religous and religous people alike. Which I am really happy about, so thankfully it hasnt been 'preaching to the converted'. It has sparked dialogue. I think the one and only rule regarding Blogging is to write about what moves you. No matter the consequence. Thankfully this has led to new viewers, people who have agreed and disagreed, but followed due to them checking out my other content. As my blog is very varied. So it has been a success, thankfully! :)

I don't think religion is for idiots. I admire people who think about the 'big questions' of life and recognize that there's more to life than meets the eye. But I do think religion is a bit flawed. I think every time you try to distill 'God'/the source/creation, whatever you want to call it, into an all-encompassing 'system', it becomes flawed. Once you start using words and rules to describe it, it loses something. So I don't fully subscribe to religion, philosophy, science OR new age stuff. There's always stuff I agree with in any philosophy, but also stuff I don't find to be true.
If anyone's interested I touch on my own experiences with 'God' (though I dislike that word) in my blog!

People who are religious will read and vote. People who aren't will move on. Preaching to the converted is the phrase that springs to mind.

LFBs comment was interesting as I often write about politics. Some of my posts are probably controversial, and shock horror, contain swearing. But as dp says, a regular readership knows what to expect, so unlikely to be put off. The issue is, will a post like that attract new viewers? And the answer is only if they are religious. But that's probably the readers you want anyway.

Oddly I have been planning a post about religion and never got round to it. I guess it's too far down my priority list.
