Smart kid

By bleredoshia - 08/04/2010 04:27 - New Zealand

Today, after church, my 5-year-old son asked me about God, so I answered his questions in full. We talked about God for over 2 hours. At the end of it all, he pondered for a moment, before saying to me, "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. You're dumb." FML

wow, you should be really proud of having such a bright child :)

I hate it when atheists are all up in people's faces. I'm a Christian and I don't go around all day saying "God is real, God is real". I understand that people may not want to hear my views, so why would want to always listen to other people's views when we find them offensive? FYL OP

Yeah, because atheists definitely go around all day saying "God is fake".

expressing an opposing view is offensive? lol

Im also a Christian but I can say that I have never heard people brag about not believing in God. Not to my recollection. Maybe once in a while when God was the subject but never just out of the blue.

yeah... because its athiests that have the reputation for that :)

Lol, funny how all the religious people will come here and complain about the atheists making jokes about the op. The atheists at least don't force-feed anything on their kids, they don't take them to church and perpetuate this stupid tradition and baseless belief. Atheists' kids are free to explore whichever religion they like, if they ever feel the need, when they become adults.

Actually, it is clearly about voicing different opinions. Dad believes in a sky-daddy, and the little boy thinks it is silly. We have a right to comment on it.

@29 - We care because there are many religious people who try to control our lives in ways we don't agree with. The less of this, the better.

thou art sentenced to fraud, sixth. layer of hell

When I have a kid..He BETTA be a dayum good b-baller!!

fraud is the 9th circle of hell you dumbass, and thats only based on Dante

But which god did you talk about? Thor? Zeus? Shiva? The FSM? I am happy that the kid did not inherit your intelligence.

in common grammar, God with a capital g means the christian God. even when referring to God in pronouns, we right He with a capital h.

in common grammar, it's spelled "write"

Santa was created by coke as a gimic which was accepted into society because children loved the jolly fat man who snuck into their rooms at night and gave them presents... you uneducated philistine... oh yeh and god is the biggest conspiracy in history so your kid is one smart cookie!

Santa wasn't around before Coca Cola? Wow, I never knew.

Santa wasn't created by Coke, the generic image of fat old Santa in a red suit was dispersed by Coke, but he was inspired by Saint Nicholas of Myra. random fact #101.

58, you are an mistaken about santa claus. he existed long before coke was founded and owes his modern day image to the gilded age political cartoonist Thomas Nast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus and 121, the rapture is nowhere in your bible, not that you'd know that, since only we atheists ever actually bother to read the stupid thing

I agree with the kid, religion is the stupidest thing I've ever heard... according to religion god created adam from mud... eve from Adams rib... put a tree of knowledge in ther special garden expecting nothing to happen.. and then a snake told eve to eat and apple... sounds like a killa acid trip to me

they are all metaphors retard don't take it so literal

axelkg 0

um, no. those aren't metaphors. Christians literally believe that God created Adam from dust and Eve from his rib. And...I'm pretty sure they also believe the devil tempted them in the form of a talking snake. So, you're wrong. P.S. it's all BS anyway.

are you a Christain? then shut the hell up

I used to go to church and that is exact shit they told me. biggest waste of my Sunday morning

I agree with the other Atheists...smart kid. I remember I was about 7 and sitting in Burger King with my mother. I asked her about Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy...I filled in the blanks about god(s). And to be fair...I've seen "proof" of Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Every Christmas morning there were presents under my tree, every time I lost a tooth I got a dollar (except that one time I lost in in the middle of the night and swallowed it accidentally...), and every Easter morning there was a basket somewhere in the house. I've never seen ANYTHING that said the big g might even remotely exist. One man's schizophrenic is another man's prophet.

now you just sound like a popinjay

since when does absence of evidence equal evidence of absence? there wasn't any proof of atoms but people knew they were there and they actively pursued it and found it. maybe if you actually pursued God, you would find out that he is real. I'm not an in your face Christian and most of my friends probably don't even know because I don't just bring it up randomly. I only talk about my beliefs when it comes up in normal conversation. and lastly this kid ASKED his dad or mom about God and that's why they talked to him about it.

you know op he will change his mind when he gets a little older and feels his Heavenly Fathers presence. shame on all of you for saying such hurtful things you have no right to discriminate against people who have faith. I'm sorry I can't accept that there is no point to this life and we just rot in the ground when we die. I bet all of you did not know there was an actual Saint Nick who delivered toys to children in the Renaissance.

I know about the origin of Santa, and was forced to go to catholic church for 16 years. I became much happier after I refused to attend anymore, and abandoned christianity forever.

you people are soo funny when you talk about religion... how exactly did you feel the """Heavenly Father"""'s presence?? It's a website, we have every right to critisize whatever we think is wrong, and religions are probably the wrongest human invention ever. (yes, it's a human invention, made to control people, and 2'000 years later, people still fall for it) So just because you can't accept that there is no life after death and we'll all rot in the ground (exactly like any animal or insect that dies), you go to believe a religion that only started 2'000 years ago (when human specie started 3-4 million years ago) that tell you Adam was created out of mud?

your ignorance astounds me. it's like feeling the wind how would you explain it to someone who has never felt it? I don't agree with you for not believing in God but I did not attack you for it so give Christains or any other religion the same respect I am sick of atheist trying to control my life. everywhere I go I get persecuted for my faith because these people feel the need to be jerks. even if He isn't real at least He taught us all a good lesson in respecting your fellow man and being a decent person. you have to shame.

that's what i've been saying. but I keep wondering why athiests are commenting on something that they say they don't care about. any hate response comments will be disregarded.

Religion didn't start 2000 years ago. If you read the Bible you would know that. Jesus Christ was born 2000 years ago. Religion has been present for a very long time. Obviously way before Jesus Christ was born. Also Saint Nicholas was a a happy Christian that gave to the child around him to show thanks to the Lord.

#66 you make the notion of death just that much more depressing =/

All Religion controls everyone's life, why can't you just cut and destroy the churches, and keep your beliefs to yourself and STFU

I'm sorry but religion does not control my life. God controls my life and I can say that my life has it's up and downs like everyone one else. So those of you saying "religion is trying to control human life" is nonsense. I'm done with this FML post. And as a Christian we have a right to stand up for our God just like you have the right to stand up for whatever you believe. You tell us to STFU but what about you? Who are you to judge? I'm not God and I'm surely not going to start judging. I'll leave that up to him. Call me what you want, as you please because what all of you say in the end doesn't really matter. God only matters.

I can just as easily write a book saying that im god and say I dug it up in my backyard. I mean if someone can write 6 Harry potter books think how easy it would be to have multiple people write the bible over the course of hundreds of years.
