[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]or what about if the kids ask, "Did that really happen?" when you tell a story about a prince's kiss or an ancient flood or someone rising from the dead.

Would you always say something like "That's a story with some wisdom in it" or would you say "some people think it's true, but I don't"?[/quote]

Well, it depends on the depth of your knowledge or your desire to research. There are some strong evidence that the remains of Noah's ark were found near Ararat. It will be a good opportunity to talk with the child about geography, history and archaeology. [b]You can tell him you don't believe it. But are you in a possession of the entire information to make that conclusion?[/b][/quote]

That would go for any belief -- in that beliefs don't need to be fact-based.  Beliefs can be totally feeling-based or a combination of facts and feelings - and interpretations of facts and feelings.[/quote]

This is not true to the Christianity. Jesus command you to seek the knowledge and to find the truth by yourself. If you don't believe, do your research. If you are so fact conscious, do a research on finding the remaining of Noah's ark, for example, before reading it to the child. Or visit Jordan and Israel after you read some of the stories. You will find a lot of locations described in those stories are still there. My kids loved those trips.
