Of all the disciples who could have thought this up, I doubt it was Thomas
I bet Judas said he was going to let on though.

truely
I feel very awkward about indoctrinating children into a certain religeon

I was mightily relieved
when my ex and I agreed that lying about faith for the benefit of our daughter's school choices was something we felt we could not do. When I found my kid crossing herself (she goes to a Catholic preschool) a genuine chill ran up my spine. Fuck that shit - I refuse to pretend I believe in that hogwash.

They will probably already have told her that God loves her more than mummy and daddy do.

I am of the opinion that religious people are either
a) the most gullible and stupid unquestioning brainwashing victims of all time - whose beliefs based on nothing whatsoever make them clearly so dense they should under no circumstances be educating children or
b) cynical liars

C) feeble minded and scared to believe that they are all alone and so push their reason to the side to feel some 'comfort'

Either way, keep away from my child, thank you.

see i thought about this last night
and i agree but then you hit a problem; try telling this to someone who has lost someone they care about

a dead mother, father, borother, sister, close friend or partner, and suddenly you're destroying someones (clearly stupid) belief that that person still exists and went on to a better place

They need to be disabused of this nonsense.
Comforting it may be - but clearly bollocks and they need to deal with it.

Which is why Existential Nihilism should be on the school curriculum.
The earlier the better.

I am more than happy to do that.
In fact I consider it my duty to do so wherever possible.

go ahead then, tell your son that there is no heaven and no hell, and that when you die there is nothing

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 3 Apr 2012, 10:34, Reply)

Why the fuck not?
It's most likely the truth. I think that being freed from the notion that you are anything other than an insignificant speck is liberating, personally. Once you grasp that, you can see that nothing really matters.

Upon my honour I will.
I will focus on the 'they cannot feel pain any more' angle.
