    My 5 year old believes that unicorns exist, they are just really good at hiding in the forest. I’m not going to tell them that it’s not true.

    The best I’ve been able to come up with is saying some people believe in god, some people don’t. Some people believe in ghosts, some people don’t. Everyone believes in different things, we can let them believe that without believing it ourselves.

      Believing in unicorns make much more sense than believing in girafes, we just live in the weird universe

        There’s a reason the ancient Romans called giraffes camel-leopards. Even they had trouble believing they existed.

      Of course that’s what I do too.

      But I don’t think six year olds need to know what a crucifixion is, nor do I think they should be exposed to torture and murder devices at such a young age.

        Funny you say this, because this is what I do too.

        I just don’t want my kids to be exposed to torture devices and murder, which is what the crucifixion is.
