You said this, "Most Christians have an imaginary friend(Jesus)." Even if you do not accept Jesus as God incarnate, he did exists as there is evidence in Roman and other historical record. Jesus was a real man and lived, as a man, in the time frame the Bible suggests.

Answer 3

Atheists. Christian beliefs are learned. Just like Adam and Eve, children are Innocent until their eyes are opened. When the first man and woman ate the forbidden fruit they lost their innocents.

Christians have mopped the world in blood. Many of these wars fester today as we look at the war in the middle east. Are children warriors as are the Christians.

Let's not compare children to Christians. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Let them be innocent.
