Kudos on being a True Good Mommy(one of the hardest jobs in the world) A child is only a little adult that u build to have understanding of how smart and beautiful and lovely and gifted and powerful they are .... to have them grow in to the best possible person they can be. Good views, thank you for the comment. :wink:

My daughter is 8 years old she has already come to me with questions about religion , I had to take a moment ( about a week to give myself time to see how I could go about it in the most loving and proper way and thought of the same questions u have just asked and my views are that .... The parents beliefs do affect a child, I myself was raised Catholic but am a Atheist now, As a young girl myself I never had any other knowledge about any other religion only that they were the wrong ones and we the Catholics were the only true right believers of the right faith/ God/ religion............ No one explained to me why the other religions were the wrong ones or what they truly believed or the differences of their religions to ours. So looking back and thinking about how I had the lack of knowledge or someone to allow me the opportunity to be exposed to other books ( bibles/debates/ history and any other information on other religions .....I was forces to be molded to what my parents believed and that was it.

I came to the decision to allowed my daughter to know that when it is her time to come to a decision on religion it is her decision and hers alone..... when she finds facts and or that gut feeling that a certain religion is for her or if any at all, that it is up to her and that I Mommy have no say in what she feels to be the truth inside of her.

I don't know it all, but I do know that I would feel awful if i were to mold my child's hopes or idea of belief based just on my own views, I don't want that much control over her. I want her to grow to be smart and understand that knowledge and deep thought and feeling is key to find that perfect fit to what u believe or don't believe and that word of mouth should never be just good enough not even if its coming from a parent, that she must take the time to study up on it and be sure and true of how she feels about it. I love her enough that I put my own views aside (which is hard at times believe me ) and allow her to gather info for her self, ( as in exposing her to many different religions beliefs / documentaries / church/ bibles stories for her age group /etc. The key thing about being a parent is u never know what ur doing is the right perfect way but u hope u give ur child enough information that it allows them to have their own thoughts/ opinions/ ideas and builds them in to a open minded adult, I don't want to repeat a mistake of having a blinder over her eyes about other religions such it was placed on me as a child. My job is to love her no matter what and if to love her is to put my views aside to allow her to gather her own then so bit it.

If she grows to be a Catholic/Christian/a Jehovah's witness/ Muslim/Atheist/ or any other, I love her and shes my baby and all I can do is be happy she found something she believes to be a true fit for her.
