Information about video.
I originally mirrored this video from this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4GyA... from the channel "msalicatty". Her video had about 30k views and it was her only video. She and I had a discussion on this video, and she was fine with me keeping it here at the time. She has now deleted her channel, she however did not contact me about this video again. I am leaving it here because I feel it does have a powerful message.
She left a few comments on the original video explaining her situation which I have summarized here.
The mother in this video is picking up her son from church. Christian, the boy, goes almost every Sunday and Wednesday and he has done so since birth. His mother works on Sunday and Wednesday nights so he goes to church with his grandfather. The mother's family is extremely religious, she obviously is not.
She didn't expect her son to be almost brought almost to tears because she told him she didn't believe in God anymore. The mother hasn't told her father she is an atheist and she can't say to him not to take the kid to church because he is already going and she can not afford a baby sitter.
The reason why the child is called Christian is because of a preference for that name expressed by his father.
She explained that Christian watches cartoons and videos on youtube, they read books on science from the library but he doesn't believe we evolved from primates. She originally posted this video because she didn't know how to fix the damage that has been done. He is in second grade in public school and they don't even have science class yet. Christian sincerely thinks his mother is going to hell because she doesn't go to church with him.
The woman in the video only recently decided she is an atheist . She doesn't think it is right to tell him he can't go to church because she doesn't believe in a god. She went to Christian school her entire childhood so she does not have a science background. At college, she failed Biology twice before finally receiving a C and she still doesn't fully understand the concept of Evolution. She however feels she knows enough to determine that it makes more sense than creation. Her problem is that she doesn't know how to explain it to him and has trouble explaining to her song why she doesn't believe anymore.
She originally posted the video because she wanted advice on how to deal with the situation and answers to his questions. She didn't believe so many people would see it.
