You may not mean to but sound very judgemental and cult like. My family is Baptist normally but I would never try to make my children follow my beliefs. My daughter don’t believe in God and my son is still on the fence. Also are children talking about their religion now? I know I never did with my friends we were more concern in stressing out our parents with being daredevils.
We are non denom christian and my son has friends that are atheists, jewish, muslim, ect. He asks me about the religions and I tell him or we look it up together and he always comes to the conclusion that he still believes in God and Jesus.
Can’t believe I’m reading this do you realize where your values came from, alot of them came from PAGANS
Depending on there age and maturity in faith. Your children could ne good influences on them. And it could open a new world for the other children. It could also be a teaching moment for you.
Can i ask why? As someone who had parents like this is was a shoke going into the real world.
Teach them to tell others about Jesus and his love ! Letting them play together could be what those children need
Your joking right?!!
Not very Christian of you!!
First of all what kids do you know that sit around talking about religion? I wasn’t religious growing up and had friends who were but they didn’t try to get me into religion and I didn’t try to get them out of it. It wasn’t an issue. Second why is it a bad thing for your kids to learn about someone different? Isn’t part of your Christian faith to love others?
I used to say I was a Christian, but people like you have pretty much ruined that religion. There are a lot like you and that’s what makes it so sad. I do believe in God. I’m just not going to look down on anyone because of race OR religion? Why? Because that’s not what Christianity is about! We are suppose to love one another and not judge anyone for anything. Let your kids play with the new kids in your neighborhood. Don’t rob them of being children. You’re pretty much saying to hate your neighbors because of what they believe in.
I’m sorry but this post sounds real stupid like what does religion have to do with anything when your kids just want to have friends and it hurts to be Christian as you say let’s be honest Christianity came from paganism the holidays that you celebrate Christmas and things like that are all from pagan holidays Jesus wasn’t born on Christmas who was born sometime in the summer and he’s Jewish again not trying to offend I used to be Christian and Pagan myself but it’s not like their kid is going to come and say hey do you know what this is just let them be kids and I hate to burst your bubble but your kids are going to be influenced anyways they go to school with many other religions and by you not allowing them to play with someone because of their religion is not teaching them accepting by any means and I’m pretty sure in the Bible it says turn the other cheek and love one another so yes and short you’re wrong leave your kids alone stop arises that you don’t like you can sit them down and tell them whatever you like but do me harm your kids if you want your kids to be social and actually have a life stop interfering with their friends life I mean of course unless they were some sort of beef or drug dealer or whatever but I’m pretty sure kids should be allowed to be kids
Your kids are going to learn about stuff in the world that YOU might not like. Just because you’re Christian doesn’t mean that they have to be just because that’s what you want. Your kids are their own persons. I can’t believe that you, a good Christian woman, would judge children like this for absolutely no reason. And to exclude them. It’s people like you. Smh.
Not accepting others for who they are is NOT Christian… don’t call yourself Christian if you’re judging others for who and what they believe
How can you expect to raise strong Christian children who will spread the gospel if you’re too scared to let them play with children of no faith or different faith? What if your children will be the ones to help them learn the truth about Jesus?
Obviously if the children are mean, that is one thing, but over faith? Pray for the armor of God to be put on your children and let them be little and play.
And u call urself a Christian… Wow… Leave the judging to God… don’t put hatred for others in ur children’s innocent heart… u should welcome the neighbors dats what God would do…
Christian’s are the most discriminatory group I’ve ever been around
Why is it always the ones that are the loudest to be Christian judging and discriminating?
Doesn’t the Bible say “love thy neighbor”?
Let your kids play hopefully tht will give them an opened mind about how people are different and they don’t turn out to be anything like you!
Your kiddos will grow up and practice whatever religion they want to. It’s 2022…there are tons of religions out there. Also, Christians don’t judge others. And most of the Christian holidays were derived from Pagan beliefs anyways. Do some research.
I completely understand your hesitation. Maybe have the first few play dates at your own home. Pray on it. Generally speaking, kids are going to want to play so give it a go. Invite these kids to church with you
if you dont let those kids go play!!! Sheesh
Love thy neighbor. It’s all over the Bible. Sheltering your children from other cultures and religions is selfish. Please don’t call yourself a Christian if you can’t love other’s who worship differently than you. This is why people hate Christians…
Just wow… reasons like this is why so many people turn their backs on the church and why christians have such a bad rap around the world. Do and be better!!!
What does religion have to do with a child playing with another child??? Kids don’t exactly sit around discussing religion especially small ones. YOU the adult are making a big deal out of it NOT the child. YOU are making a label for it and pointing it out so obviously it bothers YOU not the children. It’s people like YOU that create hate for people being different in any way at all that YOU don’t like. I’m sorry but YOU are 100% wrong for that in so many ways. Religion isn’t suppose to be forced on anyone period even a child. My husband and son are pagan we have many friends who are and aren’t. We treat them all the same and respect their choices for their home. Your post is hurtful in so many ways and if you want to be technical Christians stole many pagan holidays and made them their own. So how dare you try to out cast a religion you know nothing about. I love my heathens with all my heart and your post is ridiculous. I feel bad for your children and the way you are teaching them. You need to learn to accept people for who they are. Just because they aren’t Christian doesn’t make them bad people period!!!
What in the actual fuck? Ppl still have this kind of mindset. Just lock them in a bubble at this point … Some “Christian” you are…
How about you teach them some basic humanitarian morals and ethics and values that have nothing to do with religion?? You do realize the bible is a fictional story … Right?? Everybody needs a crutch, yours is religion!!
This is the problem with religion
It looks like you need to take this time for your entire family to learn reality and a little bit of humility…. Maybe just maybe you can learn acceptance of others while your at it. STOP dividing people because they are different then you. Maybe learn from them, obviously if your asking for advise from a group of strangers your probably have already pointed out to your kids that they aren’t like you. Good job for raising yet again another generation that likes to point out differences instead of similarities and not only that but treats people different because of those differences.
THIS is why people don’t like Christin’s, don’t come to church & don’t want their kids around people like you. Your holier than now attitude is disgusting. Maybe you shouldn’t have had kids if you didn’t want them around outside influences… I hope you’re ready for your kids to go buck wild as soon as they get the chance I’d open that Bible back up & learn to love your neighbor instead of judging them. I sure hope you find some peace
And that is how extremists are made
Jesus sat with “sinners”
You’re just a damn hypocrite and the problem with religion.
I feel bad for your kids! They sound very sheltered you’re literally setting them up for failure
Segregating isn’t what’s best for your child! Teach them diversity! You are a judgmental Christian… which isn’t what God wants at ALL! You ought to be ashamed of yourself
Christian??? What a joke.
I know I’ve done posted wtf, but I’m getting the white hat vibes from this post…
You want to discriminate based on religion? Are you serious?! You sound just awful!

Why foster such a shallow rooted faith that it can’t stand to the challenge of not being the only one? Aren’t true believers supposed to be more resolute about it?
Well, I’m sure they don’t want your kids talking to theirs about your God either. Stupid shit like this is why I can’t stand religion. Besides, did you know, a lot of christian practices we’re stolen from Pagans?
Well fuck your kids will be accepting and open minded little individuals won’t they, just like their parents.
This is the least christ like thing I’ve ever heard lol
Kids need to be around different people(races, religion,ect) kids dont see anyone different unless we teach them. By not allowing them to hang out it’s just like being racist or homophobic. We all chose our own paths. We was raised as CHRISTIAN and I dont claim ang religion and refuse to go church. I let my kid make her own choice.
I personally feel like the neighbors children aren’t the issue. If you serve a god u know all gods children are equal no matter their differences…I personally feel this is just as bad as being racist of color, gender, age, height, weight etc … judgement is judgement and that’s noones call here on Earth!

Just bc someone has a different view on which man made religion they follow doesn’t make them a bad person. How about being open minded and teaching your children how to love. Shame shame!
I’m so sorry people are coming at you because I can see your heart in this post and I don’t think you meant it in a bad way, I think you are just wanting to make sure your children are trained up. It’s hard being a Christian mom because people are sooooo quick to come after you. Honestly though, I am a childrens pastor and kids are exposed to so many things no matter how much we try to shelter them. I think this a great opportunity for your kids to show the love of Jesus and to strengthen their own personal relationship with God.
Just like with any other child friendship if you start noticing issues then explain to them that people have different believes but this what the BIBLE says.
Theyre kids, adults are the ones that bash each other over religion!!! Maybe you should go back to church and pray that God teaches YOU to not judge others & to become more accepting. Just let your kids play and have a good time lady. If anything comes up, explain to your children that everybody has different views & that its okay.
And this si exactly the reason I don’t believe in Christianity , so judgy and it seems like you think your teachings are so fragile that anyone with a different view can destroy them
Jesus was a Jew, the Pope washed Muslim immigrants feet, etc etc. Our job is to raise our children to be kind, humble and to love their fellow man. God created these “pagan” people just as surely as he created you. Perhaps pray about it, and reflect on it a little bit.
Your kids = your way but ooooweeee are they going to rebel later.
They are not the problems obviously you are the problem. True Christians love all.
Let them be kids and play. They are going to come in contact with people throughout life who don’t share in your faith and beliefs. You can’t avoid this forever.
Do your children make a wish and blow out their candles on their birthday cake? Do you have them believe in a god they cannot see based on faith alone? Does the magical being called Santa Claus come to your house on Christmas Eve? What does being Christian even mean to you if it doesn’t mean to care for all people? Every religion has their belief in something and eventually your children are going to grow up in to adults and be in a world that you have prejudiced them against
True Christians would not think the way you are. Jesus accepted EVERYONE.
Wow. I’ve never heard of not letting your kids play with someone else of another faith except from my grandmother’s generation, she use to tell me how she had to hide being friends with a girl who was protestant…this was in the 1930’s. You don’t have to share beliefs in my household but you do have to respect everyone’s beliefs. This sounds incredibly judgemental.
Omg are you serious?
Wow kids have to learn to be around others regardless of religion. They will learn things no matter what you do. If your truly a Christian you should know better. The Bible say thy shell not judge for that is a sin and that is what your doing. I was raised Christian as well you can’t push your religion on others you have to except them just the way they are. Most of the time the most hypocritical people are those who go to church.
You are the kind of “perfect Christian” that gives Christianity a bad name.
Go fourth and spread the word. Teach your children if they are negatively approached to spread the word of God. If they get a negative response teach them to walk away. We still have freedom of religion.
How the hell will you avoid this for the rest of there lives jesus christ
What good is indoctrinating your kids if the neighbors down the street ruin all your hard work with one play date, right?
Also Christianity was basically copy/pasted from paganism. Lmao. Look into your own history, please.
ALSO, they’re children??
This post is not very Christian of you
Nay Patten comment with caution we don’t want Facebook banning you lol
Read this but flip the religions and see how it makes you feel. As a person with no religion I’m not offended, but I am shaking my head at all of this. I have 1 child of 4 so far who is Christian. All of my kiddos are allowed to choose and are taught what I know of religions and we will research if they have questions of others. I don’t force feed anything, but I certainly answer honestly how I view things and my feelings. I was raised Christian and forced to go to church and forced to not ever ask too many questions because that would go against their beliefs. If you fully believe in your God and your scripture then questions and push back should thrill you. You get the opportunity to educate someone else and spread your word if the question were to even come up.
Honestly, I hope they aren’t even pagan and the sticker is on there from a previous owner or something because people like you are so quick to judge and it is absolutely bull!
Let the kids be kids, do not isolate them
Due to your beliefs. It is a big world out there
Step 1 stop brainwashing your kids. Step 2. Maybe take the opportunity to learn more about other religions and realizing pagans are harmless
Sp do you think everyone your kids come in contact with for the rest of ever are going to share the same views? Cause they’re not.
Quit sheltering them, let them be kids, and quit forcing your belief on them too. There will come a day they start to question things and it’s their choice what they believe.
Wow. Myself personally, as a kid, we moved a lot, a lot of times our neighbors were Christian but they welcomed us in the neighborhood, all of us kids played together no matter our religion, race, beliefs or thoughts. I’m not religious in anyway but my best friend from childhood is Christian and they have never prevented me from playing with their kids/ hanging out, having sleepovers. This is why no one likes Christians because your belief is we are all gods children and not judge anyone as we are all equal. Apparently you need to read the Bible again and do some hale Mary’s . Your kids will not be sheltered all their lives and will be exposed to the world where they will need to learn everyone has their own beliefs and thoughts.
Kids rarely talk about faith. I’m Christian and have a friend who is pagan, her kids some times say weird stuff about fairies and energies but it’s very easy to tell my kids what we believe about that. You need to teach your kids that people have different beliefs and why you believe what you do. Also make sure to tell them not to be mean about other peoples beliefs. They are going to encounter much more difficult perspectives in their life, now is the time to teach them how to handle that and to get them rooted in what you believe.
You basically just bashed them for what they believe while saying you didn’t want to.
The main reason for Christ is love and you are lacking that part at this moment.
They are probably more worried about you influencing their kids or making them feel less for what they believe like christians tend to do from time to time more often than not
What about when your kids grow up into the real world? Good luck with that one
This just makes me sad honestly. Please do not teach your kids that others are less than and that they are some how better than the next person solely based on their beliefs and lifestyle. The saddest part of this is that kids are born the most accepting of others until parents teach them ways like this…religion doesn’t necessarily define one’s character. You’re cheating your children out of the opportunity of meeting some wonderful people and possible life long friends solely out of your own fear. Have some confidence in your parenting, that you have taught your children well enough to know what kind of people to surround themselves with regardless of any other factors besides one character. I truly hope your children grow to view Christianity for what it really is and not the way you seem to precieve it. One should never be judge for their religion or lack of religion. So thankful my child is very open minded and accepting of all people, and bc of that has been able to learn so many positive things from them and them from her as well…whether it be different views on religion and life to just new hobbies and such…I will never understand how people can be so close minded and judgmental yet call themselves a true Christian. I really hope while reading these comments you can remain open to the differing opinions and not just scoff at everyone else, and not do any self reflection on your views. After all this decision will ultimately shape how your children view the world and others, do not intentionally instill hate in their hearts.
Let them be kids & play freely, because they’re going to be doing just that…PLAYING!!
They’re KIDS for Christ sake, they won’t just go sit down & discuss their religion differences, you’re making something outta nothing!!🤦♀️🤷♀️
Stop making children grow up so much faster than they should, by involving them in adult situations & decisions!!
LET THEM BE KIDS & PLAY!!
Will your kids be living with you for the rest of their lives or will they go out into the world???
I think you should move to the mountains where no on is around you so u and ur kids will have no influence
You are the worst influence on your kids fyi disgusting!!!
Yikes don’t put religious trauma on your kids
In this situation you grow up and get off your high horse!!! They are children just because their beliefs don’t match your doesn’t mean they are bad people. What you are trying to do is called discrimination based on their potential religion, you don’t even know for fact that they practice this religion because it doesn’t even sound like you have spoken to them, just judged them based on a sticker. You really need to get your head out of the sand on this one!!
“I’m not trying to bash anyone” while simultaneously bashing an entire belief and group of people and making a hell of a lot of assumptions and judgments. Christians like you are the absolute worst. You also can’t force your kids to believe what you do.
All of the Christian traditions come from pecan traditions. Your kids should able to explore different types of religion to find what they most relate to and as a parent you should encourage them to do so.
Omg they are kids, let them play
And this is why people shy away from “ christianity”. You can be friends with people who are of other faiths. You are not better than anyone! Let kids be kids. You’re isolating them. That family is probably very decent human beings. 
Wow sounds very understanding and Christian of you😏
Christians are supposed to be accepting
if heaven is full of Christians please send me to hell
Should Christians seek advice from the world or from the Bible?
Your directions are found in the scriptures
Keep your family home, it’s better for your neighbors and community if they don’t have to deal with bigots
As a Christian… don’t you know you’re supposed to love thy neighbor? Maybe you missed that part…
I have no words and I’m too nice of a person to write what I’m really thinking.
I think it’s important for children to make their own decisions when it comes the religion. Christianity especially is about love and inclusivity. By wanted to keep them away you’re showing them how to not be a good Christian.
It’s a good lesson in not everyone believes the same… take it as a teaching opportunity for your kids. You have to trust your kids and yourself. Sometimes kids will just surprise you more than you think.
Are you stupid or stupid do you think your kids don’t mingle with kids if other faiths at school??? Imagine being this stupid, and thinking “I’m not stupid”
Your kids will be exposed to all types throughout their lives. Better to let that exposure happen now while you’re there to answer their questions than for it to happen after they’ve moved out
Christian means to be Christ like. They’re gonna have influences in school.
My mom, both of my grandma’s on both sides and all of my aunts and uncles believe in Jesus. I also believe in Jesus and teach my children to believe in Jesus… However my dad was an an atheist. He believed in biology… he believed that we were born and that we die and that we have opportunities and that we have decisions… Just because my dad didn’t believe didn’t change the way that I believe. I love my dad and I told him my beliefs and we had a conversation about it and chose to respect to each other’s views. My dad never encouraged me not to believe. Never not once. You can communicate with people who believe differently than you. If anything he strengthened my belief. When my dad died I was 30 years old. I was so sad because I wasn’t sure I would see him again in heaven. But my faith helped me overcome. My dad’s sister whispered in his ear as he took his last breath and said “go with Jesus”. My aunt and myself choose to have faith and believe that in that moment my dad accepted and went with Jesus. Some people say that’s not the case but again that is their belief and I have mine. But my faith is strong enough to overcome others beliefs. Nobody in this world can convince me otherwise. Teach your children to be strong in their faith and nothing can take them away from it. Teach them to love everyone… including non believers
I highly doubt they will talk religion, they are kids.
Also love thy neighbor. Through that love, you never know… they might get saved
Let your kids be kids…When they are old enough to worry about religion, let them choose “their God” also… I think the kids will be more worried about running around being kids, then they are about talking about religion
This is why people who aren’t Christians have such a horrible view of Christians… im certain Jesus would not be pleased with you
Is this real? If you don’t want your children influenced. Move to the middle of a field
I’m so sorry you’re being bashed so hard core for this. I totally understand your question and your way of thinking on this. Kids talk about the most random things and you don’t know how involved the kids are in the parents religion.
I would personally ask my pastor his opinion on this.
I hope you got some good answers on here too and figure out what to do. It’s a hard situation.
Just remember you’re asking this question of the world, not of others with your same beliefs.
Wow say your a racist intolerant peace of shit without saying your a racist intolerant peace of shit you’ll go first. P.S. I feel bad for your kids.
