[quote=Anonymous][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.  It sure helped when our cat died 2 weeks ago ([b]Jesus left a note for 3 yr old DD that he came and took her to heaven, clouds drawn around it etc[/b]).  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]

haha! Seriously? This is the most ridiculous thing I have read on DCUM. If I were Christian I would be offended that you pretended to be Jesus.[/quote]

I chuckled that it was the one thing on this board everyone rallied around to condemn. [/quote]
