Thats my girl!
May 2, 2012 at 4:07 am
My 13 year old daughter asked a rather profound question last night: Do you believe in Evil?
Apparently its her RE homework and she has to ask all of the adults that she knows for their opinion, then write her own thoughts.

I came down this morning as she was frantically typing away, and asked about her essay.

She said that she didn't believe in Evil or Good, that these things only exist through people and how people treat each other. That blaming god or the devil for bad things in the world is not acceptable and that people have to take responsibility for their own actions.

I felt a glow of pride that she has achieved such an enlightened view, more so than so many adults in the world.

We need more young people to think like that!
Actually, we need more young (and old) people to think!

She's only 13! Good for her. I'll be waiting when you get negative responses from her teacher/school/infuriated parents.
Not because you deserve them, but because I know they're coming :/

Best of luck to her!

If a 13 year old girl can figure it out (no disrespect ofcourse she's obviously very intelligent) then these adults who believe this tripe really have no excuse.

My concept of good and evil centers on a range of ideals.

Mate,if she was my daughter, I'd be so proud I'd probably just shit. Tiger

That's pretty profound thinking for a 13yr old. PLEASE let us know what grade she gets.
