(July 25, 2018 at 1:37 pm)DodosAreDead Wrote: Assume the child is very young, somewhere in the range of 4-8, perhaps? Their parents are religious. They're worried about hell. What will your response be?

I would tell the child that when they die that they will go to Heaven, if I thought that such was what they wanted to hear and would provide emotional and mental comforts to them and their families. If someone "called me out" on my behavior, I would just claim that I am an agnostic, which is, at least in part, true!
