danot Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Why do some people do it?. I'm talking about people in general here, not necessarily just the religious. Iv'e even done it myself so i'm not pointing the finger. Why lie to our children about going to heaven when we die?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffybunny1 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Because life is hard enough! At least let them be innocent and free while they are little. Same goes for father christmas, tooth fairy, easter bunny e.t.c, why lie about all that stuff? It's called imagination and fun, they'll learn the sad facts of life soon enough!!

As if kids need to know about that crap to be "innocent and free". The facts of life are not sad, they are beautiful and empowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Why is it a lie? If "you" believe to be true, where's the harm. Anyway prove they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
