I feel that much of the world’s sorrow comes from people who are this
Yet
Allow themselves to be treated as that.

ANTIRELIGION: The Thinking Atheist / “Farewell to Faith”
“I’m not even an atheist so much as I am an anti-theist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. Reviewing the false claims of religion I do not wish, as some sentimental agnostics affect to wish, that they were true. I do not envy believers their faith. I am relieved to think that the whole story is a sinister fairy tale; life would be miserable if what the faithful affirmed was actually the case.”

EMPATHETIC MORALITY: “Dad Sports Skirt to Support Cross-dressing Son”
Many fathers insist that their cross-dressing sons change clothes before stepping outside—especially if neighbors are starting to snicker. A German dad is quickly becoming an international hero for taking an entirely different approach.
When Nils Pickert moved his family from open-minded West Berlin to a more conservative small southern German town, locals rolled their eyes at his dress-wearing son. His 5-year-old boy became too embarrassed to put on his favorite frocks.
Pickert decided to teach his son a lesson in self-confidence and started wearing skirts around town himself.
