Do yourself a favor and let your children be their friends…. You might learn something yourself. To each their own and the Lord says to “love like a child” & “Love thy neighbor” …. You never know what blessings you may be blocking for those other children, even yourself by hindering yours from possibly speaking the word to them…. God will find his place in everyone’s life… however he seems fit. Food for thought!

What worries me about this is do you genuinely think your children will never meet or come across anyone different
Or the Internet?
If you care so much about keeping your kids faith strong then you need to explain that the world is full of different beliefs and it’s the faith in your belief that’s all that matters
But you kind of blur the lines of reaching them your beliefs and hiding everything else from them so they can’t make their own informed choices

The best for your children is to learn to respect and love everyone regardless of their faith. Are your children talking about their God much? If so, why? Children should just be children and play with whoever they like.

What is a Pagan? Just wondering …I xan google it because I don’t know but this is a crazy question…you asked it respectfully but dig deep into your self for the answer. If you thought your kids some thing then trust they learned it. That’s like saying your kids xant play with black kids because they will come home black… smh
The first and upmost thing every religion teaches is ‘love thy neighbour’… your ‘situation’ is not a situation, it’s called racism

How about not being so prejudiced, controlling and stopping indoctrinating your children.
Hmmmm really? Are you going to start home schooling then because I’m sure there is more then one faith at school if they are school aged? Kids should be allowed to be kids without starting to put labels on them, we are a multicultural community these days- everyone should be treated equal. If your going to be that closed minded I probably wouldn’t actually want my children playing with your children.
Amd this is what is wrong with many that call themselves christians…condescending, judgemental, want to preach the bible but not live it. Organized religion is a joke when I see crap like this… already teaching kids to be scared of and hate others for not being like them. Absolutely disgusting

As much as you want your children to identify as “christians” you can only be sure to raise them based on your values. However you cannot make them believe what you do. Not allowing them to o play with other kids based on their parents beliefs in honestly gross and doesn’t speak as if it were coming from a “true Christian”

What’s best for your kiddos and your faith is to stop judging other people and their children just because they don’t conform to your beliefs. You’re teaching your children to hate on people who are different from them by restricting who they associate with due to things that are literally none of your business or concern. God wouldn’t be OK with that kind of behaviour. Are you supposed to love thy neighbor ?

If they try to explain their beliefs to your children, tell your children how and why you believe what you do. As they get older they are going to form their own opinions anyway and you can give then a strong base about your beliefs. And denying your children to play with the neighbors because of religious differences is only a start of teaching them to be exclusive and possibly racist.

Unfortunately, this is how hate and I believe the word is prejudice happens. You are teaching your kids that others are not good enough to play with them. That their beliefs are not valid. Discussion is a good thing for one and for 2 they may not turn out Christian anyway (based on my experience that might not be bad, but that’s my opinion). My husband grew up baptist and is now “pagan” he believes in the Norse. I grew up “Christian” meaning Mormon, Baptist, and a couple others and I am now simply, I believe there is something out there but I dont believe in any gods per say. So maybe don’t be so… idk just let your kids be kids. They will go wherever they are gonna go whether you do or not

As a Pagan, knowing that someone is “pagan” gives zero clear insight into what they actually believe aside the fact that it’s not organized religion. Pagans aren’t like Christian’s in the sense that we all believe in the same thing. For example, some worship the Norse or Greek gods, some worship the earth, some worship a specific god/goddess, there’s several kind of freelance ideas, which is where I kind of fit in. I believe the concept of “god” is vastly under valued. I believe in God, just like you do, and I believe everyone for the most part in any religion, worship that same god. I believe religion is just different man’s interpretations of the same god. I don’t follow a specific scripture. At the end of the day, we know right from wrong, that was instilled in us. And as for your kiddos, I think it’s extremely important to teach them how to be respectful and accepting of others despite different beliefs. I think that’s a lesson you yourself may need right now.

My family and I are Jewish. Other neighbor kids of different religions come to play all the time. My kids need to know that there are other religions and beliefs out there and that we respect that. We don’t keep them away, we allow questions and encourage other kids to ask us to orations, too. We haven’t come across any rude questions or comments. We keep kosher and don’t accept snacks or treats from friends, but once they understand why they think it’s kinda cool

Your kids might just get a history lesson! It’s never wrong to love and respect others faiths. Judge not before you judge yourself.
Don’t force religion on your kids. Every single human being is entitled to their own views, your children included.
I have one kid that wholeheartedly believes in God and goes to church every Sunday & a youth program on thursdays. I have another that doesn’t. He doesn’t buy into it. That’s fine. He’s his own person and deserves to be able to be himself.
My husband more so associates himself with Norse Pagan practices.
I take a little bit of something from every religion I’ve thus far researched and have my own little religious soup basically.
Teach your kids that not everyone believes the same things. And don’t be so quick to judge. Most pagans, will be the first ones to have your back in almost any situation

Maybe try to break a generational curse by allowing them to be open to at least educating themselves with other things to make them more well rounded. Regardless, they will figure out what faith they want to follow later on in life and it’s best they don’t resent you for hiding things from them. Let them learn. Hell, educate yourselves WITH them! You’ll learn your Christian faith actually derives itself from mixed pagan beliefs!! And I’m NOT just saying that. Please do your research.

I understand what you’re trying to say by this post, I’m sorry you’re getting attacked by a lot of people. However, if they’re raised in a Christian household and you teach them to be strong in their faith, it will be okay. You should teach them to love everyone, be friends with everyone. Also it’s GOOD for them to LEARN about other religions, for several reasons. But with that being said, the chances that this other family is going to PUSH their beliefs on your child is slim.

If you are Christian you should not judge your neighbor or anyone else for that matter if that is how you chose to raise your children then so be it but don’t punish your children and limit and judge their friends only on religious beliefs. That’s not very Christan of you! How about instead explain to your children there are other religions out there and Christianity is yalls and how NOT to judge anyone else’s.
I think kids are kids and should be taught to live life amongst others different from them and not judge.

Excluding people because they believe and look differently than you is why there is so much hate in the world.

I’m not trying to bash you but this question is asking for trouble. Christians are called to love everyone. No matter what. No matter who. Race, sexuality, religion, no matter if we feel their sins are bigger than ours (and yes you sin too. We all do, and thankfully we have a savior who died for them) buuuut we are not called to judge anyone. As Christians it’s our duty to bring the word to those who need it. So why would you want to avoid them. Why not let your kids be a positive influence if you think that’s what they need? Just love people. Everyone. Just love them and pray for them like I am for you.

You’re clearly not strong in your faith if you believe this and I’m not even fully Christian lmao. You need to know where you stand with your religion fully. And if you stand committed then no outside “influence” can shake that.
Nothing wrong with wanting your kids to be taught what you want but they might mis sout on some valuable social skills. Maybe let them play but keep a close eye on them and listen to them. Dont listen to people on here your kids your choice
As Christians, it’s not our place to judge but to love. Jesus shows us throughout the Bible the inclusivity of his love, and that’s how our practice of Christianity should be. Jesus chose to spend his time with all different types of people (Luke 19:1-10). He didn’t shut himself off from those who did not believe he was the Son of God and neither should we.
