On Holidays, Family, and Church

[Lestat]

Well I'm an athiest and my ex sends my kids to religious school and I don't mind one bit. My kids know that I don't believe in God, but I have always encouraged them to form their own beliefs.

In fact, I'm sure it was a little traumatic for them at first. Kids look up to their Dad and I'm sure the first thing they thought was: Is Dad wrong, or are we wrong? Since they still believe in God as of now, they may even be worried that Dad won't get into heaven, etc. etc.

Anyway, I assured them that it's ok for them to believe in God. They're still too young to contemplate it all. I want them to know that there's another way to think, but I don't want them to worry about it right now. When they get old enough I'll tell them my thoughts if they ever ask. Otherwise, I don't feel I failed as a parent at all if they wind up having different beliefs than I do.
