Stars are gods
My 7 year old son: Mom, some people believe that the Bible god created people, right?
Me: Yup.
My son: So… if he created people, why does he kill everyone?
Me (laughing): Very good question.
My son: Because he drowned everyone, he has people eaten by bears, he destroys whole cities… but people still think he’s a good guy? That doesn’t make any sense.
Me: I agree. It doesn’t make any sense. Do you think the people that say “God is love” and also “The Bible is true” have actually read the Bible?
My son: Definitely NOT! The Bible god is a really bad dude.
Me: Yeah, he really is.
My son: You know… stars are gods.
Me: Huh??
My son (grinning at me): Yeah, Mom. Stars are kinda like gods.
Me: How are they like gods?
My son: They created us, didn’t they?
Me: HA! You are really freaking awesome, you know that?
My son: Yeah. Are you going to put this on your blog?
Me: Yes, I am.
