[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is more of a parenting question than a religious question. If you are atheist or agnostic or follow a non-monotheistic religion, how do you handle it when other people's kids bring up God and repeatedly insist that God exists?  I try to mildly say "well, some people think God exists and some people don't" and change the subject, but some kids will just keep insisting and try to get into it. The problem especially arises when my DC says "no, God does not exist" and then both kids ignore my attempt to say people have different views and agree to disagree. I find it a little awkward to be dealing with this with other people's kids, especially since these are early elementary kids. If you've btdt, any suggestions beyond what I'm doing? If your family believes in God, how would you like me to handle this? It doesn't happen a lot, but it's a little awkward when it does. [/quote]

If that kid could not be polite about the disagreement and let it go, that child would not be invited back to my house and my child would not be going to playdates at that child's house. That stuff can get ugly quickly.[/quote]
