He says that he does not believe in God but that he also doesn't deny that God may exsist. He claims to be agnostic. He uses words like: "Religion is a thing that people use to keep everyone from doing wrong." "How can people who do good but worship, or believe in other religions like Muslim, Hindu, Mormon be cursed to go to hell when they are peaceful and do good?"
My heart is crushed! I've tried to explain the Bible, Jesus' life, crisifixion, the reasons for salvation. But he still refuses to accept anything.
I want to show him the greatness of God, the absolunteness of God

Give thou thanks that your son has stepped into the light and no longer needs to cower in a world of demons. He's escaped from superstition and from fetish worship. Hallelujah.
Judgment day? Jesus? He pondereth the hearts of men, and your son's tolerance of other faiths alone will save him. Don't worry about your son, he's added another dimension to his life, which he is honest enough to show you though you can't share it. By his very honest discouse, you can know that he loves you.

Santa Claus is drawn from St. Nicholaus. confident. yet there is not any similarity between St. Nick or Santa and God. God has been believed in 1000's of yrs in the previous St. Nick even lived and hundreds of yrs Santa's tale got here into the image.

well my God doesn't send people who beileve differently to hell so I don't know what to tell you yeah if I were him I would have major issues with that too as a matter of fact that's one of the many reasons I left my old church to join another, just let him be who he is, hopefully he will find God but either way if you push it will just push him away more! Give him resources and other options, with my children although I hope they choose my religon we teach them positive things about other religons and give them information they can use to make there own choice, I think people who raise there kids just like them stating there is no other way will lose crediabilty with their children, if my child becomes baptist,muslim,hindu or converts to budism I will love them the same and if they are happy I will support them. yes it may hurt by they have there own agancy.

Accept it.
Don't try and force your religion on him.
It doesn't work. I mean, I was an athiest by thirteen. And that was after 8 years of attending a catholic school.
Some people just find reason to stop believing the things that were taught to them.
All you can do is let him believe what he wants.

Don't be crushed. Be proud. Your son has overcome the overwhelming "push" to believe in God and the bible, and he has made up his own mind on his own terms. As long as he is a good person who does right toward others, you shouldn't do a thing! Isn't it ok for him to be the person he wants to be? Do you think that all Muslims are going to hell? He's right.

you can really impress some by making that person to stay in a world of wonder. how? by asking important questions that migth appaer unanswerable. like? some thing like....where are u when u are asleep in conciousness?.....assuming gbaaaaa an accident has occur and damn it its you but in about 7 days time ops oh pains...what happened to the acclaimed "i know" consciousness?.....yes a pal died and in months time you want to visit a usual place with him and....?why this loneliness...? you can see i am painting pictures that make you wonder! whoaaa i can tell you anything and you might believe me! you know what you want to say so in stead of trying to explain keep asking directly and indirectly to which answers would arrive at your point. please do not be persuasive directly. make graffitis of ???s for him. watch it he will always be waiting for you to answer your ???s for him and when he asks give him a positive negligence. above all let your ???s be simple, phychological and radiating with love. but be tactical like...today you say who made me? about 5-10 days time you say...if i wasn't made how come i came to be?....next you may decide if it was a coincidence why do i have emotions due to my thoughts..but wiat where do my thoughts come from?... mind you he is following the trend of events and inside he is changing his thoughts by asking what makes you wonder over such "silly" things. some day he will simply realize that you weren't at all silly. try this bcos it will help you.

Ok, here is somewhat of a joke, but it has a lot of truth to it.
There was 2 little boys in class and one little boy said something about God and the teacher said: We do not speak of God in this class since he does not exist.
The other little boy, shocked at what he heard, got up and said to the other boy said: Can you see the wind? He said: NO, And then he said, can you see our teachers brain? He said NO again. Then he said: We cant see both becuz they dont exist.

Congratulations. You have raised an independant thinker who is not afraid to have an opinion, and a son who obviously feels he can discuss anything with you in a reasonable, intelligent fashion. Don't disappoint him. You don't need to show him anything. Agree to disagree & go on loving each other.

just ignore him when he brings up the subject.
and don't try to push your religion on him! That will make him resist it more. Look i know you may be concerned about saving his immortal soul but lay off a bit. He'll come around.
I'm wiccan but i used to be catholic. even though in my religion, there is no god. but a goddess and god...i still have faith in a god like the one in my old religion

You can show him the greatness of God by your life of love. Love him anyway and pray for him daily. The Father hears your prayers as a parent and will honor it.
