We're sitting in a drive through and my 4 year old son asks me:
 

"Daddy, do you want to know Jesus?"

His mother (my ex-wife) is very religious, so no doubt about where he got that.

I ask:

"Do YOU want to know Jesus?"

He responds:

"I already do, dad".


I wondered why he asked that. Later his mother told me that he'd asked her if we could get married and she told him no, so he asked why and she told him "Because your daddy doesn't know Jesus".


JESUS!

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

tell him jesus is alive and well and posts regularly on gfy

jesus financed my mobile home...along with the swine flu

That would be really funny. But he'd want to know what GFY is, and I'd tell him (because I never lie to him) and then he'd want to know what the word "fuck" means (he's never heard the word).

He's very smart and wants to understand what things are and why they worked. Not long ago he stared at me intently as I explained the difference between gasoline powered and diesel powered engines (he wanted to know why my truck was so loud).

Tell him you've got something better than jesus and let him start building galleries in his spare time :thumbsup

His mommy has no problems taking money, though. And calling when she needs anything. Even for herself. I pay her enough to make it possible for her to be a full time mom, which is what she's always wanted.

If you never lie to your kid, what do you tell him about Jesus?

That he's a guy who may or may not have lived 2,000 years ago and he claimed to be the son of God and a lot of people bought it.

And if that happened today they'd call it a cult?

wow your kid is smarter than 99% of the GFY members!

And the FBI would use it for target practice because "Jesus" got all the nubile cult ass and the government was jealous?

You should tell him that you do know Jesus, and that there is now way she would know whether you knew him or not. Then tell him it's wrong for her to say things about Jesus that she is not totally sure of.

This is funny.
Mommy and Daddy can't get married because Daddy doesn't know Jesus, but Mommy can have sex, get knocked up and have a baby out of wedlock?
Wonder what Jesus would think about *that*?

I love hypocrites.:BangBang:

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh I wanna get me some nubile cult ass

:thumbsup

He said she was his ex-wife.

ex wife? well then why is it now she says she won't marry "daddy" because he doesn't know Jesus? What, he knew him before? They used to hang out and shit? So she married him that time? But now him and Jesus don't hang out so she says "He doesn't know Jesus so I won't marry him"? And I guess she knows Jesus very well.. what a fucking joke lol

Religious people are a bunch of fucking mental cases. Also very easily brain washed and that's what churches and all other religious related shit wants.. that way they can easily STEAL your money and you actually believe it's going to a good cause LOL.

now, they say money is evil but yet they take all the money from people that they can and guess what? they are NOT taxed! fuck religion! fuck GOD! they say they are preaching the word of GOD? Oh and what? they meet up with god once a week and get the info then tell all the other people? Come on!

ok, I went a little far with my post, my bad lol.. I just HATE religion, I hate liars that steal money LEGALLY!

True, he did. With what she said, that part completely flew out of my head.
Still.
Grrrrr.

... thanks for sharing mate, that one really made me laugh !!!

Interesting story. Fascinating, actually.

BROAD AND WIDE ARE THE GATES OF TEMPATION!

:1orglaugh
That is not fair thing to say to a kid on your ex's part!

That was what i ment to quote earlier!:1orglaugh

:( :helpme

Sharp as a knife :thumbsup

:1orglaugh Better watch out, your ex is going to warp the brilliant mind of your son...

I'm worried about my nephew for that very reason, he is fucking brilliant at 2 years old and she is feeding him all this jesus shit and making him memorize bible stories. :helpme

Nice to meet you.

Hows it going?



You can tell your son you know me now.

amen!

Well, at least she's reading with him daily and working on his memorization skills. Most likely this is a big contributor to his sharp mind.
Think of it as a learning tool - one day he'll be old enough to think for himself and start exploring other options and questioning things.

I tell her exactly that. We (my ex and I) actually get along really well. We can talk without fighting. I told her that for now I won't contradict her on anything she teaches him about Christianity, because I don't want to confuse him. She's not going to stop teaching him the things she's teaching him, so I'm not going to confuse him by telling him what **I** believe.

But I tell her all the time that someday he's going to start asking me specific questions and I'm not going to lie to him. He'll know what daddy believes. And he's so smart he'll see right through Christianity. It makes no sense to a person that thinks rationally about the facts. It only makes sense to people who need a crutch to lean on.

She married me because I was a pastor's son. I tried to believe all that crap for a long time. But one day I told her I couldn't lie by pretending to believe it anymore.

She's a great mom, though. I couldn't ask for a better mother for my son.

I guess in the end, this is what matters the most :thumbsup

That sounds offensive, I dont wonder that she is no more your wife
