A Weird Post-Religion Thing, Maybe Help?
#14
RE: A Weird Post-Religion Thing, Maybe Help?
I'm not a parent and would never want to be so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I cannot see the value of raising a child to believe something that you yourself consider to be bullshit. Inform them of it, sure. Explain to them that it is a complex subject that adults wrestle with. Explain that they will have to decide for themselves what makes the most sense.

I imagine you will also have pointed questions to deal with regarding Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

I would not raise my child to believe in bullshit. I think that's child abuse. Just my opinion.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
