[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think formal religion is necessary.

But I do believe religion is necessary for kids - it gives them answers to all your DD's questions.  Gives them a reason to be good, love one another, etc. [b] It sure helped when our cat died 2 weeks ago (Jesus left a note for 3 yr old DD that he came and took her to heaven[/b], clouds drawn around it etc).  I asked DD tonite "where's kitty?"  She told me in heaven with Jesus.  And I've never taken her to church.  And telling her not to hit because it makes Jesus sad works too.

When my DD is older, she can read the bible and internet or whatever and formulate her own modified beliefs, but I think a childhood without religion is seriously lacking.  Plus, with no religion now, there's no choice to make later.  I think it's near impossible to make that leap as an adult.  I'd think it's like trying to convince a jewish or muslim person that jesus was the messiah and god was his dad.  [/quote]

News flash -- There are no pets in heaven  according to any Christian denomination.   Animals don't have souls and humans do, according to Christian teaching. So that when people  die, if they have followed the lord, their souls go to heaven.  But there are no cats and dogs there because they do not have souls.  There are also no notes from Jesus.

I suggest  taking your DD to church so she can learn real religion and stop making up your own religion.  As someone else mentioned, it just sounds like Santa Claus. Pure fantasy.  [/quote]
