In a world where there's no scientific proof of God's existence and of life after death how will you explain to your children why you brought them into the world and why they will have to die?

I think they will figure all that shit out on their own, I did. One thing I won't do is lie to my children.

Psh, I won't have children. Dodged that bullet!

I brought them in the world because I fucked their mother and they have to die because that's just how it works.

I would personally find that somewhat more comforting than telling them that God brought them into this world in order to enslave themselves to him and that they have to die because God wants them to die.

I am not having children.

But what if truth is so terrifying that they won't be able to handle it?

Then call a Wambulance

Children are resilient enough to handle just about anything, and I think learning about an evil god through the bible is more traumatizing to children than telling them the truth of there being no god and no afterlife.

So the alternative...lying...makes more sense?

Puh-leez.
