questions

My 10yr old son asks me question after question about God. And you think you have it hard when your child asks "are we there yet or demands more pocket money".
I have to answer; "If Jesus is God why did he shout my God my God why have you forsaken me and why did God allow Satan to sin and were is the garden of Eden and why is there so many churches if their is only one God". Yes the list goes on but thankfully we are building models from war-hammer because my small brain can only take so many questions.

I have brought my son up to question and not just accept. When I was at uni I studied sociology...yes I know most think it is a waste of time but I love the way it engages the mind.
In my house there is no such thing as "I said so" When my son comes to me at the weekend we discuss and reason things out. I may be dad but I still want him to have his point of view and understand my reasons. We study the bible and talk about it but when he is back at his mums he does not have that christian input.
So I am thankful that I do bring him up in the Christian faith but will never force him to go to church if he decides he does not want to go, even at this young age.

I remember being forced as a catholic to go every Sunday and I hated it. It was more boring than watching paint dry and more painful than watching England win the 1966 world cup (which they love to show all the time). The catholic church has not changed that much with regard to children but there have been many positive changes.

At the moment I am not attending any church. I was put off organised religion by a friend and pastor who could not find it in his heart to apologise. I suppose I had built so much around him and this dented my own faith. So for the moment I am looking at other churches and I am sure I will find the right one for me.

Anyway, keep asking question and work out your faith for yourselves
