[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my second grader was the recipient of proselytization, he told them that Jesus was a fib. We had a few conversations about how to gently rebuff with respect for their beliefs. [/quote]

You aren’t letting your kid make up their own mind about religion and spirituality?[/quote] Why do you think our child did not make up his own mind? I don’t see where in my post that I wasn’t. [/quote]

A second grader has independently examined all the issues and thought through it all, and has made up their mind about “Jesus being a “fib?””

You mean you’ve told your second grader what you think and they have internalized it. And you haven’t taught your second grader respect, either. True “atheists” say “ I do not believe in God.” They don’t tell other people that their chosen religion is a lie. [/quote]

DP who is not a mind reader and neither is immediate pp. Consider that the kid might think this on his/her own, with or without deep thought on the subject.[/quote]

Kids do internalize, but they come up with doozies when they try to work it all out too.  My DC, when around that age educated me on what he thought happened after you died.  People put you in a "dead box" and then ship you to heaven via FedEx or UPS.  Then once you are all finished with Heaven, you go to Heaven #2.  I didn't ridicule or correct, just kind went "huh, interesting".[/quote]
