Testimony (why not share)
#42
RE: Testimony (why not share)
Ok, I'll share. My daughter was playing with one of her friends, when I overheard the word "jesus" being used. I listened for a moment to the conversation, and then went out side and sat down with them - I guess you could say I felt "compelled" to do so. I told them both that Jesus was a little like Santa, that he was made up, mostly, to make people feel better about stuff, and that they shouldn't spend their time worrying about what jesus or god thought, but instead how they could be good people, and how to better themselves. My daughters friend said rather hotly that her dad told her that god created everything and that he would get mad that I had told her different. I said, well get your dad to give me a call, and he can get mad at me.
The next day I got a call from the dad. It wasn't a bad call - he and I get on well enough - but he asked if I felt ok contradicting things he considered truths to a child. I told him that this was one of the drawbacks of indoctrinating children - they want everyone to think the same way, even if you don't. If your daughter wants to try to pass on the indoctrination to my daughter, I am going to apply inoculation. I am going to vaccinate my child. If there is a splash effect - too bad. If you want your child to hang out with my child, her meme is going to have to survive my meme. And Bro - my meme has evidence.
He was ok with that, and the two girls still hang out.
