[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read this whole thread, but it reminds me of when I was about six and asked my mother if there's really a Santa Claus. (We're Jewish.) She told me she wasn't positive, but she thinks there is.

When I was older (and knew the truth), I asked her why she led me to believe there was a Santa Claus. She said because my (Christian) friends and classmates believed there was, and she couldn't trust a 6-year-old to keep quiet about there not being a Santa. I think it's the same thing here. If you don't want to lead her to believe there is a G-d, just say [b]some people think yes and some think no, and that you're not sure who is right[/b].

Plenty of time ahead for her to make up her own mind.[/quote]

Good answer, for Santa Claus,  Regarding God -- who some people continue to believe in after they grow up -- Maybe you could also say, that it's hard to tell if any one is right, because god is invisible, even to people who believe in him.  People don't see him, but some people say they feel him.[/quote]
