Kids say the darnedest things...

[TeleTonemaster]

On Saturday my 7 y.o. daughter enquired as to why she was in the "non-religion" class at school.

I didn't quite know how to explain theology to her without confusing her about whether God exists or not, or without making comparisons to other fairytail characters such as Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

So i said "some people beleive there is one person who rules the whole world"

She interupted knowingly "Oh, I know who you're talking about"

Curious, I asked "Who?"

Less confidently she replied "Timmy Rogers?"

HAHA! Your daughter rules. Tell that to Timmy next time you see him. He'll be less likely to push you in the face.

[rhielovesyouami]

That is seriously the most wonderful thing I have heard all day. Kudos mate, and to your daughter.

[kennedy72]

Out of the mouths of babes.

Your kid will go far.

... and that my friend is called brainwashing.

Timmy's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

I remember non-religion class, I spent most of my time in the library reading the gospel according to Asterix.

[riff]

Yeah we'll be starting non-religon class next year for my daughter. Wish she could do something productive then instead. (Not that there's anything wrong with Asterix.)

Ha ha, ace ref turbo, wish I thought to post it first.

And aren't the kids taking an ethics class in place of religion these days, riff? Though that was what all the brewhaha was about.

I survived Catholic school.

That ethics thing keeps getting proposed and it keeps getting blocked. AFAIK it hasn't actually happened.

I survived a religious school where half my day was spent doing religious studies, but that doesn't mean I'm going to inflict it on my kid (especially when she's already worked out for herself that god is pretend).

I am really trying my hardest to survive a fucking god Squad of a family (aunts and uncles- my parents really don't give a shit about what I choose to follow). I have no issues with faith, it's just when preachy bullshit is inflicted upon me that I feel like hanging Satanic paraphernalia around the house. I could go on all day.....

ther's no need to resort to Satan.... why not try dudeism instead?

[rhielovesyouami]

It's mainly to piss them off/get them the fuck away from me. I already abide by Dudeism.
