[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an atheist, one of my strongest convictions to my children is NOT lying to them about magic sky daddy or having them believe fake things to comfort them. Obviously ymmv, but that was one thing I hated about religion and one thing I was determined not to do to my kids. So I don't really get the point.[/quote]

I mean, that’s what I think for kids once they’re older. But for me, I think (and maybe that’s a me problem) my kids would feel better thinking there’s something else out there…just while they’re really young. Since Christmas just passed, I keep thinking of this like Santa…[/quote]

This sounds like how religion was originally invented.

Caveman parent at bedtime after a long day with naughty kids: "you better be good or else....the magic god in the sky won't like you and won't let you go to the afterlife party......AND if you are really bad you'll go to a bad place when you die."

I can sense the parenting desperation in the religious "rules" around being good & bad.  :lol:
