Wel I don't have any kids (yet). But i was laying down thinking about things, and my mind wondered off onto the subject of the future, and this scenario drifted into my mind.. Say I have a kid, we'll say son.. now.. I do not believe in God, as i'm a proud Atheist, But should i inform him right away (as soon as he's able to understand) that there IS no God, or do i wait until he's older? I feel like telling him as soon as he's got a working mind is no better than Xtian brainwashing. But then if i don't, he may be susceptible to said Xtian 'brainwashing' from other adults of peers. Being a young child i remember how easily you believe the firs thing you're told. Or i could completely negate the subject until he asks me about it?
Let's say one day, he is sitting in the livingroom and brings up something about what 'god' has done for us. Do i then explain there is no god? I mean, i would love for him to not live ANY of his life with that dangerous delusion. But then what about santa?
