""Some people believe in a god that made everything but your mother and I don't. We made you, my parents made me and your mom's parents made her. And so on, since before we can remember. Some people think it's wrong not to…"
Jennifer Knowles replied to Jennifer Knowles's discussion What do you tell your children about god?
"Yes it does help. Thank you for responding. I think i'm going to take everyone's advice and be honest with him and answer all his questions but stress to him he doesn't need to talk about it with anyone else. I know it won't be…"
Jennifer Knowles replied to Jennifer Knowles's discussion What do you tell your children about god?
"I think that's good advice to introduce him to a lot of different religions so he can compare them. I've also gotten him children' books on evolution and the the big bang. When your child is a little older I would recommend The Story…"

What do you tell your children about god?
I have an eight year old who is starting to ask about religion(why don't we go to church,did god make everything). I have answered as vague as possible because I don't want him to be ostracized or ridiculed or worse. I'm not going to lie to him about our lack of belief but I want to choose my words carefully.
