I never married or had kids but no way would I ever force religion on them (or anybody else for that matter)
But kids ask questions so my advice would be to give them short simple one-line answers, eg -
Q - "Is there a God"
A - "Jesus said there is"
Q - "But why should we believe him?"
A - "Because God was his dad"
Q - "Was he a phoney?"
A - "He did lots of mind-blowing miracles and stuff"
Q - "But does that mean he's the Son of God?"
A - "Why would he lie?"
Q - "Perhaps he lied to become rich and famous?"
A - "Saying he was the son of God got him the death penalty, not fame and fortune"
Q - "Did he really exist?"
A - "The whole nation of Israel and the occupying Roman army saw him" |
