About Religion
I just saw a post in a blog which made me remember a thing from the past ...A long time ago when My son was about one and a half or two years old ...
My Mother was bathing my son and as he loves to splash and play in the bathtub ,my mother had some real troubles to get hem out of the water so I wrapped him in a big bathing towel and carried him to the bed to be dressed . He kept jumping on the bed,but naked all jolly and happy and at one moment my mother said, oh be still for God`s sake ... So he looked at me and asked "Who is God"
I had no clue how to explain it to a child whiteout being subjective ... I mean I had no intention to give him my version of who or what , God is ...
How would you explain it to a child...

GOD COULDN'T

SO HE MADE
GRANDMAS
back in my days when I went to school ( socialistic regime ) they presented us just the theory of evolution as a fact in biology class ,they never told us that there is much more ...
ps.I dont believe in angels ,myself
My son is soon to be 22, guess Im a bit late for that...
In my personal opinion, he deserved a fair answer ,even at that age
Okay, you gave your children your vision of the truth , I didn`t want to do that, I wanted him to make up his own mind ,
yes I know it was far too early for that, but I had no intentions to start with something I consider as brainwash from the start
its goes odd for me that how human believe on presesnse of God even he has not seen him/her ...i always tried to believe but lastly i lost fully my belief on God.
okay, I guess at some point in life we have to start questioning our beliefs ,searching for the truth
I have chosen another approach at that moment ...
I set him on the bed and started to tell him about different believes and disbelieves and that all of them have their reasons and arguments for their believe aka opinions
learn ,read ,make up your own mind ,but be ready to have a explanation for the choices you have made
yeah, I hate it when Im serious
If the answers you have makes you happy and fulfilled ,its mission accomplished
they can make up their own minds later.
but in times of death children will take comfort in the fact that God and a heaven exists,especially maybe if parent or sibling has died.
my opinion... always encourage children to believe in God
but the truth is truth dear!
I do believe in God ,
I have chosen to be baptized at the age of 21 ,still I do have a pretty open mind about organized religion, things we are not aware yet ,the fact that we are using some 10% of our brain, that there are more than 13 dimensions out there ,that science does not have all the answers ,that the holy scripts have been rewritten and changed and the real ones are hidden ...that there are over two billion stars in our galaxy ,starts like our sun surrounded with a lot more planets ...that the universe is a unthinkable big place
you can crack open anyone's skull and see the brain ...
I don`t know , My guess on this would be,
God made me this way
