Child raising and touchy subjects.

[Rahul]

I was terrified of hell as well as a kid. I think it should be considered a form of child abuse.

I've got two girls 8 & 9. Neither my wife nor I are believers, but my parents are. Every summer I let my parents take them for a week for summer bible camp back in my old home town. And they come back singing church songs and talking about god.

I just approach it by pointing out that a lot of people don't believe what nana and papa believe. I tell them that I don't believe in it. If they say something in defense of what they have learned I ask them the tough questions.

I don't actively teach them anything other than to question everything.

When they come to me with questions, I give it to them honestly.

Yesterday my 9 year old had got some stickers in her foot from walking outside barefoot. She asked me why god made stickers.

That resulted in a fun conversation about evolution. Including how Chimps and Humans share a common ancestor.

I'll take care of them. And they will know all about Christianity thanks to my parents. By the time they get to be 15-16 years old they'll be able to tear Christianity to shreds.
