Religion and My Kids

A few choice quotes from my children in the last week, mostly unrelated and from vastly different conversations, either with me or with each other. The first two need no explanation. The last two were overheard during their live action game of Age of Mythology on Saturday.

The Bible says we shouldn't eat pepperoni or bacon so I'm not going to. Daddy doesn't eat pepperoni or bacon.

We have that movie at Daddy's house. We rented it and Daddy made a copy and took the other one back to the store.

All hail, Gaia!!

You didn't give enough favor to Kronos. You should do it again.

Whom Does Jesus Love?

I was looking at more bumper stickers tonight and Miriam was sitting with me. We came across one that read, "Jesus loves real men." Miriam saw it and said, "What?! Jesus doesn't love real girls?!"

Maybe We're Just Here

Dinner conversation last night in our home --

Miriam: Why don't Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Caleb go to church?
Me: I guess they don't want to.
Miriam: They don't believe in God?
Me: I don't know if that's why they don't go to church, but some people don't believe in God.
Miriam: I believe in God.
Me: Why?
Miriam: Because he made us ... actually, I don't know who made us. Maybe we're just here.
