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

This is great.  Thanks for the laughs.

Jesus - like Santa - is a myth.  Even if you attempt to use Pliny's account, for example, he was no contemporary of Jesus, as his writings were dated years after the supposed death of Christ.

There are NO contemporary sources documenting his birth, miracles and death/resurrection.  [/quote]

The issue here is not whether or not Jesus is a myth  It's whether churches promote belief in pet heaven  The answer is no.  In Christian churches, you will NOT find the things that pp made up -- heaven for pets and Jesus writing notes to children assuring them that their dead pets are in heaven.  These are NOT the teachings or beliefs of Christianity.   pp is misleading her child to tell her such beliefs are part of Christianity -- they are not.

Whether or not Jesus was a myth or any of the miracles actually happened is an entirely different issue - they are still part of the beliefs of Christianity whether they are factual or not.  Religion is based on faith, not fact.  Christianity expects you to have faith that Jesus was a real person, born of a virgin, who died for your sins, went to hell, resurrected, then ascended into heaven to live forever.

Christianity does NOT expect you to have faith in pet heaven or Jesus writing notes to children about their pets (or anything, for that matter)[/quote]
