You can’t hide them from the would forever and it’s not very Christian of you to judge them. You are too love everyone and let the kids be kids. I am a Christian and this would never even be a thought for me with my own kids.
And on today’s episode of “separate but equal”.
Gross.
Funny thing about Christians is that you all think you’re morally superior but one of the staples of your beliefs is that everyone who disagrees with you is condemned. Blows my mind the things people can justify to themselves.
So, very Christian of you. Judging someone AND their kids, solely based off of their religion. God would be so happy with you.
It’s okay for kids to know about different religions, just like learning about other cultures. Learning about each others differences at a young age is what teaches kids to be accepting of others who are different from them… in any way.
WOW…Coming from a " christian"??
What happened to love and acceptance?
Thou shall not judge???
God loves all… Especially his children…
is this a serious post.?? Doesn’t seem very “Christian” of you.
This is what is wrong with Christianity
You are the reason there is so much hate and division in the world, as a child I was not allowed to play at some friends houses because I was not a Mormon. Do you have any idea what that says to a child? You are telling them they are not good enough. Jesus taught us to love one another, it looks like many “Christians” did not get that memo. (Are you going to keep your children wrapped in plastic and locked in the basement, there is lots of “different” out there, you wouldn’t them to see that!)
I’m Pagan and was raised Christian. My child 12 on his own velition is following Christianity. I’m accepting of anyone and would never not allow my child to befriend someone of a different religion, race, ethnicity or anything else. You’re being totally ridiculous. I honestly feel sorry for your kids.
This post is ridiculous!
I don’t think Jesus would even ask this question and we’re supposed to thrive to be just like him
They’re going to be exposed once they’re grown up & out of your house anyways. Why not expose them while they’re under your roof so you can teach them about different values, believes, & mutual respect no matter what those beliefs are.
Your children are going to grow up believing what they want anyways.
I grew up going to church & Christian.
I would claim myself as more spiritual than Christian.
Annnnd this is why I can’t take Christians seriously
How do you interact with people that are of different beliefs and values from you? Do you not speak to them? Why not let the kids play and just let them be kids. If you feel the kids are just plain horrible people that’s when you should step in just like any other friendship.
Your kids may influence them and bring the whole family to Jesus. Your kids are covered by the blood of Jesus. Now’s the perfect time to disciple your kids about loving thy neighbor.
You, my dear, are SO FAR from being “a Christian” it’s sad, not funny…
Go back & read that bible, pray for your answer, & repent for your judgements, & you might get what being a Christian is all about
And this is why I cannot stand religion
You wouldn’t be asking this question if you were not so privileged.
Good people are good people regardless of religion, nationality or any other thing that may make someone “different”. I’ve taught my kids that “different” isn’t bad just different. Different from something you know and understand doesn’t make it wrong. The Bible says love thy neighbor. It does not say love thy neighbor “if” or “as long as”. Do better.
Your neighbours should keep their kids away from you!! Personally anyone this Christian and judging are the ones who will push their god on to others. Out of this whole post I feel sorry for your kids. I hope they know better when they grow up.
What would Jesus do… There is your answer
Sheltering your kids from other religions is icky
My mom became best friends with a child that was Johova witness when she was young that boy is now a Jesus live die hard Christian. God is good and he will lead your children I understand %100 your concern just pray about it and wait for God’s soft calm voice to tell you what to do Good luck I will also pray with you over this matter:heart:
What an absolute horrible way to think. Is your faith that fragile that you think being around diversity is going to turn your kids into Satanists? Oh no I think the neighbors on the other side might be JEWS!!! Make sure you tell your kids that the sweet little neighbor kids are going to burn in an eternal lake of fire before you send them over smh
Great example of Christian love there. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened if Jesus had only hung out with people who loved him. Instead of you know liars and cheaters and thieves. 
This is just silly IMO! If they hear anything different, they’re likely to come ask you as their parents. I promise when kids are together playing they aren’t discussing religion
Are you serious?! Of course they should play with all children regardless of their faith. You need to check your Christianity and look again at this question. God bless you
I would never let my kids play with Christian children who’s parents are like this. Unbelievably judgemental. And looking down upon children due to their parents belief.
This is where hate, racism and division begins. Children are not born that way, they are taught. So disturbing.
This can’t be a real question
What the flippity f@$k!! You say your a Christian…yea right…your kids are going to grow up and be effed up…period…Quit punishing your kids with your backwards thinking, raise them to know love…smfh
Teaching our kids not to accept no different than being racist good job
WOW?!? You do know some of Jesus closest friends we ex-prostitutes, crooked tax collectors, the diseased, unloved and marginalized members of society. I guess you need to decide weather you are teaching your children to be religious or more like Jesus BIG difference!!
Here’s a great article excerpt…
“By reaching out to those considered beyond reach, he taught and led as a living example of the “will of God.” Society sees people according to stereotypes. Jesus, however, saw each individual’s needs instead of the labels society slapped upon them. Even when Jesus taught to the masses, he always made time to reach out to the individual outcast. He was moved to extend mercy and compassion towards “sinners” because he knew they needed a Savior.
Check out the rest here…
Who are you to judge Christian’s don’t judge we open our hearts to all we are able to worship what ever way we choose that’s Gods way
Omg… I have no words for how stupid this is.
Wow…. This is so incredibly sad….
What would Jesus do? Maybe it’ll be just the opposite and your kids can teach THEM about Jesus. We are not supposed to judge.
You are not a Christian. You are raising your children to be judgmental of anyone who does not think like them. I feel sorry for your neighbors .
What’s “best for your kiddos” is to teach them that there are people in this world with different beliefs and that’s okay. WTH…
Disgusting.
Your blatant hatefulness will eventually turn your kids away from Christianity, you don’t need to worry about outside sources doing it.
Mark 12:31 - And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Teach them about all religions and when they are a mature age they should be able to pick their own religion. My husband and i are non believers and our two youngest are believers and go to church every sunday with their aunt and uncle. And if they choose not to go to church like my oldest has chosen anymore that is okay too. I wouldn’t force my kids into a religion but if you so choose then that’s on you.
What you guys need to understand is raising your kids and controlling them are 2 different things. Raise your kids to make good choices and understand that not every choice they make that is without your approval , is a bad choice. Kids are kids irregardless of religion, nationality or race. The Bible says God is love. It didn’t say God is love for only Christians. Leave the kids to play. Remember love thy neighbor as yourself.
Make sure you stay under your rock, they’ll be fine
What’s best for your kiddos is learning to be open minded and accepting of others.
You do realize you’re trying to control your children’s learning? That is actually the best way for them to choose religion is to learn all the religions they can to learn everybody’s beliefs and that is the best way for them to be open and Kind hearted to other people for all you know they’re gonna teach each other about their religions. You sound like a horrible person I really hope this was a joke.
What a true Christian. Teaching your kids to judge and be bigots
l get paid over $ 140 per hour working from home. l never thought I’d be able to do it but my buddy makes $ 15158 a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The possibility with this is endless.

How Christian of you…
What the heck is happening w this page lately. Some of these questions seem like someone is trolling.
Wow let the kids play together. Do they go to public school? As they Probably have friends of other faiths
Most def lock all your doors and windows cuz for sure those dirty pagan neighbor kids are gonna come force their dirty pagan ways on your perfect crotch goblins !! I mean I’m almost they already done put a crazy pagan hex on your entire family so if I were u I would just pack your shit and hit the road!!!
Shit like this is why Jesus changed his middle name to Fucking.
And you call yourself a Christian my God… shame on you
Austin Hardin not the heathens!
Your children will resent you if you choose thier friends for them.
Is that what Jesus would do?
With love, I think you’re kind of missing the point.
Yikes. I feel so incredibly sorry for your children.
My whole family is Southern Babtist and I’m Pagan. Pushing your religion on your children is certainly one of the best ways to ensure they don’t want to practice what YOU preach. Honestly with your archaic way of thinking, that’d probably be for the best cause once again, yikes.
You are what’s wrong with this country. There is a family on my daughter’s dad street that is like this, and everytime she tries to play with them the mother makes them go inside. Do you know how damaging that mentality is to children. My daughter always asks what’s wrong with her. I explained about the mother. I will also be screenshooting this so she can read firsthand how ridiculous people are. Thanks for this teaching lesson. Prayers and positive vibes for your kids and the lives they will lead with these lessons
I’m speaking from experience as a child that made a new friend at school and she wasn’t allowed to play with me because her parents didn’t like that we were catholic. It hurts the children.
Lmao I can not with this one
Yes! We should raise our kids to be strong in their beliefs and their faith and to love EVERYONE no matter what. It’s not our place to judge others for their choices and way of life but to love one another as Jesus loves us! We are all sinners no matter the sin, one is not worse then the other.
Okai look religion shouldn’t matter when it comes to kids. Don’t be so uptight
I’m a Christian, and I just find this post very rude. I have friends of all religious backgrounds. Its not my problem what they do or don’t believe. Your kids are going to find their own way in life. The more you push, the more they will push back. Let them be kids and have fun with the neighbors kids. Goodness gracious
so because they don’t have the same beliefs as you, your kids can’t have friends ? lol good luck.
This is where the word Christian gets a bad rep. Shame on you. A true Christian loves everyone regardless of their religion. Those kids will likely rebel against you in the long run. You really need to think about what your teaching them. Oh yeah, this is coming from a born and raised Southern Baptist Christian. So get off your high horse.
Listen, your kids come into contact with all kinds of other “influences” during their every day life … at school, at church, at the park, in the neighborhood, at the grocery store, at the doctor’s office, etc.
You can not shelter your kids from life.
Faith is not faith if you’re not allowed to choose (free will) what you believe.
If you think the only food that exists is fish, then you will eat the fish, or starve. If there is a smorgasbord of food in front of you, you will try everything once, and only eat the food you like. Over the years, you grow to love the healthier foods, because you learn that your body responds better when you eat healthy.
But without being exposed to everything, how can you make choices?
If you put blinders on your children, they are simply obeying you … they are not being faithful. Once they have reached an “age of accountability”, they will be old enough to explore and learn about other faiths, as well as the faith you teach them, and choose their own path spiritually.
Then, and only then, will they experience true faith.
If we want to teach our children about life… respect, faith, morality, social skills, etc. … then we need to allow them to see the real world.
Kids are kids … they absorb everything like a sponge. If you teach them that there are other children “not worthy” to play with, based on religious beliefs, you are teaching them to discriminate against others. What kind of Christian are you?
I’m Christian … and my God, and my Jesus, loves everyone. Even the non believers.
It’s very unchristian to not allow your kids to play with kids of a different faith. Christianity teaches you to love your neighbors. You are teaching your kid not to because of religion. The bible is pretty clear about how wrong this behavior is. I can’t believe people who act like this even call themselves christian.
If you celebrate Christmas or Easter then why worry cause those are both originally pagan. Also can’t blow out birthday candles for wishes those are spells also definitely don’t do Halloween
What’s next? You’re not going to send your kids to school and let them play with kids there that have other beliefs? You sound ridiculous
Jesus didn’t judge. He loved everyone and even hung out with prostitutes. Are you really living a Christian life by not letting your kids play with others who are different?
Good grief ! How would you feel if the neighbor were closing the door in your kids faces if they wanted to play with them ??? If it doesn’t break your heart…then I’d question your character all the way around ! This is pathetic.
So you are afraid the mere mention of another religion is going to undo the indoctrination you put your kids through? What a shame maybe let your kids be exposed to the world and choose for themselves
Wow. I am also a Christian and I really have to ask…what do you think Jesus would say about this? Jesus spent most of His time with people not like Him.
I really hope you change your mind. Your kids deserve better than that.
God teaches to love all regardless of religion
Doesn’t the Bible say “judge not…”?
Yes, keep your children away from them because of their different beliefs, sounds like the Christian thing to do. Im not sure who’s preaching to most of y’all “Christians” these days, but ones like you are the reason why most people won’t even try and go to church. Out here judging everyone but yourself, like you’re god.
I’m Catholic. It’s a big world out there and they are going to come in contact with all kinds of people through out their lives. That doesn’t sound very Christian.
Your Pathetic! We all have the same god there is only one god but many faiths/religion.
I’m pagan. I’m gonna tell you something cool. We aren’t growth based. We aren’t trying to convert people. We burn our sage, meditate, and move on.
That’s the same as being a racist just blaming religion which by the way is a hate crime and teaching children to grow up like that there will never be peace it means your hater and your teaching your kids to be haters
What’s best for your kids is to learn others are different. Explain to them that not everyone believes the same thing and let them blossom into their own people.
Their kid’s!! Let them play. Their not having prayer sessions. Their going to play games, run around, swim, climb a tree, etc. it’s shameful of you to deprive them of being children. You would be teaching them to be prejudice, which is so unchristian like.
Are you serious? Are your children on leashes? You don’t get to choose their friends, their faith, or make decisions for them. They might be small now but they grow fast and they will make their own decisions. Unless you are planning to homeschool… You can’t keep them away from other faiths. Most important info if the day here~ Pagans choose to love everyone. We’re not bigots like you and we don’t teach our children to stay away from other faiths. Nor do we force our beliefs on our children. We let them choose. I think you missed the main point in the bible. Love everyone & coexist
Would you be Christian if you didn’t? Hypocrisy
Sheltering your children from the world may be your best bet here.
The best for your kids is not to be brought up
In such a judgemental environment !! Let kids play and make friendships - region/ faith/race/sexuality or anything else shouldnt even come into it . Being a decent human being to others and expecting the same back is what really matters !
How do you expect them to grow up in this world? This is a very immature question in my opinion.
By not allowing your children to play with kids of other backgrounds and religions, you are teaching intolerance. Inevitably your kids will be exposed eventually, they should be taught how to properly handle it and embrace it. Not avoid it. Your children should also be allowed to choose their own path to religion and not forced into Christianity is the only way. Like sure take them to church and raise them to be good Christians, but you aren’t doing them any favors by forcing your intolerance on them
Oh, you’re one of “those” Christians.
I would just stay in your house where you belong. I do not want you or your children to influence them with judgment and hate. Those other kids are taught compassion and acceptance so we do not need you rubbing off on them. And I hope one day your children will realize there are other beliefs and that it is okay. And learn to love, respect and accept someone and their different beliefs unlike you.
People like this is why our world is going to shit!
This post is exactly why I don’t follow a religion. Most people have no idea where Christianity came from, not even a little, however, you don’t have to look far to find it’s a candy-coated razor blade. “True Christians don’t judge.” Yes, they do, we have had whole wars for it. I hate to tell you but, you could be a pagan. If you do Christmas/Easter/Halloween or even toothfairy…I hate to break it to you, no matter how much you throw the word Jesus in there, no matter how much you want to believe it didn’t happen, those were originally PAGAN. Christians STOLE those traditions to bring in more followers. So why don’t you let your kids go play, and thank a pagan today for your religion practices.
Well, the best part about pagans is we don’t push our beliefs onto other people. I don’t believe in church but I still let my kids go because it makes them happy. Think about it this way if you expose your kids to other people’s beliefs and they still choose to be Christians then you know it’s because of what they want and believes not just what you forced them into. I grew up Christian and I can tell you that Jesus hung out with prostitutes and other undesirables and never looked down on another person because of who they were. As long as the kids play nice together who cares if you have different beliefs. You can hang out and care about other people without liking what they do, if you can’t you may want to read the Bible again and maybe focus on what Jesus did for most of his life. And read it on your own so you can form your own opinions not what the pastor tells you god says. Peace and love
Bro, the fuck!!! You are exactly the Christian people talk about when they hate God because of the people who believe in him. Remember, Jesus hung out with the drunkards. He let a “sinful” woman wash his feet. If you need a sign that you’re doing the whole believer thing wrong, this is it. Maybe as a Christian you should pray about what has strayed you so far from God’s word…
It’s 2022…I’m sorry this is an actual question?
Dear Lord………Please protect us from your followers who think like this:woman_facepalming:
Restricting your children from interacting and playing with other children is setting a precisent of judgment and ignorance. It’s the same mindset that racism follows. As Christians, we share the love of Christ to nonbelievers. Be the light of the world. If you refuse your kids the outside experience, they will become very naive and self righteous, and overall ignorant to how people are. Giving them the opportunity to interact with other kids, regardless of what they’re being raised into is something you should definitely allow. Just reassure your kids that if they have questions about things, to come to you, and here’s the important part, be courteous in how you guide them.
You do realize that as your children grow up no matter what they will have to learn about other religions at some point (High School teaches about other countries and their religious views) and will be influenced by them some way or another. You can’t force your kids to be Christian all their life if they chose to learn/follow another religion. My family is Pentecostal but I follow no religion (I’m not atheist I just don’t partake in/practice any religion) and growing up I felt forced to see the way they saw/viewed things and it really changed they way I felt about religious tolerance in the world.
