So, my son attends school at the church

[Easy Guns]

My wife is religious (Despite how outspoken I am; although it doesn't strain our relationship, believe it or not). As a result, my preschool son goes to Montessori at the local church (my older son attends public school).

My boys know that I don't believe in god, and they know their mom does believe in god. I'm not shy about explaining to them my reasoning and neither is she.

I'm content that my boys can discern for themselves what they believe, and I'm really not concerned with them being exposed to religious beliefs.

With that said, here is something my son brought home from school:



Do you think this is imagery for Christianity? Or a harmless lesson to teach the letter T? He has never brought home any other such assignment for other letters of the alphabet.

Feel free to discuss in this thread the idea of an atheist sending his youngest son to school at a church, as well as discuss the photo I attached.

Thanks for reading!

What does he have to say on the matter? You know, you don't have to smell indoctrination behind everything resembling a cross. What did they tell him, this represents? If it's just the letter t, well, it looks like that. No working around the to and the cross looking the same.

If its about a cross, your son did some pretty cool subversion by making it "t" is for trix.

Also, if he's at a Christian school, then do you not expect him to have some Jesus lessons?

Give that kid a bag of money.

I think it's a conspiracy. That school is trying to take over the world for Christianity by making the kids do T's that look like crosses. This will work on their subconscious to make them Christian whether they want to be or not.

When I was a kid. I told my parents, "what's the proof of God". They said the world couldn't come from nothing, I told them then where did God come from.

They tried to explain, God always exist, then I said so what's the proof of God created the world if the world can always exist.

My mom told me look animals, look at design, I told her for all I know they could of came together over time from smaller things.

Never read a philosophy book. Never read evolution or heard of it. And I believe evolution or Atheism was possible when I was 6.

But it was that moment, I felt a fear of God. My parents told me it's ok don't worry about you you will figure it out when you grow older. You don't have to think about it.

But I felt a fear of God, like I knew something about it but couldn't put it to words.

It was a majestic glory I remembered but none of that was faith. I didn't believe in religion as a kid. I acted it out sure. But I didn't believe it.

I realized people believed in it, but I knew I didn't it. It seemed rational if God did exist he would send guidance, but I didn't know if the last Messenger was Jesus or Mohammad or anything...and I didn't believe either.

Kids know how to act like they believe. They know how to play pretend to get a long. I wouldn't worry about them.

They will grow up and decide for themselves.

You never see kids talking religion with each other or preaching it to each other cause they don't believe in it. They just go with the flow.

I wouldn't put it past the bastards.

You know, you have six crosses in your reply. Seriously, how do you think, the letter T looks like? You simply can't help it, unless you drop the latin letters. That's why I asked what his son has to say on the matter.

And no fucking jesus on any of them!
