I don't know what I'm doing. I've tried to type a blog for the last three days but to no avail. The subject I want to type about is religion, and how it is a complete farce, and what I should teach my children. Every time I type out an entire entry, I delete it for fear of the comments. You see, I have a hard time backing up a lot of my opinions because I don't know how with facts and logical explanations. People need those, otherwise what I say is just offensive. I'm having a hard time teaching my children the truth about the world when Christianity keeps punching me in the face. I am not a Christian and strongly believe that there is no GOD or any of that shit. No, I don't believe it, I KNOW it. My issue is what to teach my kids. Hayden prays from time to time, remembering what I used to teach him before I discovered the truth, and Landon urges me to not to express my atheist opinions in front of the kids for fear of crushing their hopes and dreams of a simple, "God is Life" bullshit faith. I don't know what to do. I'm lost. I am very adamant about teaching my boys the truth and reality of life, and Christianity is far from it. I want to be able to teach them what I know, and let them decide for themselves, but I find it extremely difficult to let them be so ignorant and naive.

I think the best thing for you to do would be to tell your children both options. Its only fair to them and it is the right thing to do. Hayden is getting to that age where kids are going to be talking about God and religion and he is going to be confused. I think now is a good time to inform him about God and what he means to many people in this world, and then turn around and tell him what you believe in or don't believe in. Do not stress your side more because that would not give him a fair choice to make. He has to make the decision with his own thoughts and heart. Make a choice that he thinks is right for him.
I agree totally. That's exactly what I want to do Anonymous, but it's hard arguing with myself in my mind. I dont really want to tell him what I believe because I don't want him believing what I do, just because I do.
