An Elementary Question

Sometimes children see the world in such a way that it challenges our formerly held beliefs. It almost makes up for that sour milk smell they have.

You seemed to say the child had not accually asked the question. The father was worried he might. Maybe as you implied the father has his doubts.

But yeah a beautiful illistration.

This kid was asking too many questions for THIS christian father.

But it seemed like this guy wasn't a fundamental christian like vfx or something, just an average christian fool.

8: I pray to Spiderman every day. I dont always get what I want but Spiderman answers prayers on a yes/no/wait basis, which is fair. After all, Spiderman works in mysterious ways and he does know what hes doing.

Typical christian comeback... Not knowing how ridiculous the original argument is.

oh yeah his answer "thats just make believe" priceless.....

"christian father experiences cognitive dissonance because of a child's innocent qeustion"  thats funny. wonder what convoluted answer he gave to the kid?

Actually the argument it is just a book is not one that I would accept for challenging one's set of beliefs. The argument would be have to be: "It's just a work of fiction," or: "It's not acceptable (anymore) as only source to base your life, your thoughts and your values on." I know I am a bit hair-splitting here because this is basically what the original sentensce is aimed at.

In fact this was one of the arguments that made me challenge my believes and made me end up being an atheist.

Lil story, I was in the corner store & An Earth science chan was on talkn about the earth as it may have been 4billion years ago, The clerk was Completly OutRaged at the T.V. because it went against his Beliefs. This Clerk in all his Wisdom said "It is Imposible for the Earth to be that old" And he "proved it" by saying "They didn't have any Books back then". I left ALOTof Crazy out of this but basicly what I think U & I are saying is That these things are What Logic & truth is up Against.

Accept Spider-man into your heart today or suffer eternal punishment!

Thats awesome draagon66. I had a vision last night, in which Spiderman visited me and told me that those who deny in his existence and pray to the wicked Batman shall destroy us and our children making us all slaves. The only way for us to avoid hell and reach eternal salvation is to smite the evil batman worshippers and reclaim our holy land once and for all.

haha great question. Maybe, just maybe, religion comes into our lives the minute we realize most of our childhood questions are 'unanswerable" (aka not easy to understand/explain) and out of fear we create something to hold onto? I miss that childhood innocence i used to have where every answer i got was just not enough, and was followed by a "WHY", i wish i could have the wonderment of my youth back towards the things that surround me!

Child abuse. The father was (still is) a victim, and so is his son. The world will only become a better place to the degree that parenting improves.

Blessed are those who follow St. Stan the man and the good King Kirby, for at the very least they'll be entertained, which is more than anybody ever got from the bible.
