Yeah this is a sore point for me. Teach your kids to love equally. Religion or NOT. Otherwise they could grow up super snobby.

What’s best for your kiddo’s is learning to live and accept people of all faiths. They will grow up in a world with people of all faiths and some who are atheists. Show by example that whilst you value your own faith you also value and respect other’s. That’s the best life lesson you can give your kids.

If y’all are confident that you are raising them as you should, then you should not be worried about things like this. I’m not sure how old they are, but regardless, you cannot keep them confined and away from everything and anything that you don’t feel lines up with your standards. It seems like you’re trying to live up to this “Christian” standard, but there is truly no such thing. Living in Christ, is loving everyone, and confidently walking in who you are, but not being self righteous. How else are others supposed to see Jesus in you this way? How else are your children supposed to confront the world? I get your worries as a parent, I truly do, but your children will have to make their own decisions. Your job is to teach them what is right and do your part to teach them about God, and then trust that God will guide them through the rest.

I grew up with very Mormon grandparents and never once did I talk religion with my friends while playing. We where too busy playing to think about it. They are children they are not adults they don’t sit around talking religion or politics

Probably not the right page to ask this question as not all are believers. I totally understand your question as I’m Christian too!! Yes you do need to guard your children’s hearts from ways of the world. I would have your neighbours children over at my place & then you can see how it goes. Also an excellent way to reach the parents.
Let those who have ears, listen.
God Bless you my sister

I grew up Christian, still am and I played with all kinds of kids of different beliefs, backgrounds etc.
children aren’t concerned about that they just wanna play and have friends.
They will decide what beliefs they have when they get older regardless of how you raise them because my upbringing was rooted very deep I still have those beliefs BUT I learned much more as I learned on my own especially how a Christian should actually treat people of all kinds my Jesus loves everyone of every kind and I will too.
Don’t judge them it’s not your job.
But, then again it’s your children so I can only hope they grow up to be accepting of others.

What I can tell you is that I went to a Christian school and the kids that were shielded from the real world in this way, lost their faith very quickly once they left. And a lot of them really struggled once they were let out of their bubble.
The world is full of different people. They will have to interact with them. If your faith is important to them simply speak to them and have open discussions and acknowledge that different faiths exist and what they mean.

This is why I have lost faith in most people who claim to be Christians. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs but shunning a child or keeping a child from playing or being friends with your children is not very Christian like. I think you need to take a good look in the mirror and judge yourself. Take a good look at yourself. Are you really the Christian you claim to be. God loves ALL children. Even the ones whose parents have a different belief. Children are influenced by everything around them. These children who are your neighbors are no more of a threat to influence your children than any other person, child or adult they will come in contact with throughout their life. Let them be kids and make friends. Just my opinion

My daughter and I are pagan/wiccan. Most of my friends are Christian. We adults have sat down and talked about limits then let our children know the limits. End of story. They just don’t talk about religion with eachother or anything related. This goes on both sides. I suggest you do the same and respect them and not discuss at all. So your children should get the same talk that they should not discuss their religion with the other kids. There’s no reason assume their children will hurt yours thats just sad and biased.

 I don’t think you should care about your children’s friends having a different religion than your children I’m trying not to be judgmental But if you truly think your children will not have outside influence on your religion then I don’t know what society you have been living in. The whole point of religion or beliefs is you instill in your children your beliefs and you also teach them to not be judge mental of others beliefs that may be different than their own and if you are teaching them correctly you won’t have to worry because they will understand that many people have different beliefs.

What you doing will cause more harm than good… Don’t force your kids because that is when they will go the other way… You can’t shield then forever and they will choose religion that is right for them…
Besides you as a “Christian” aren’t following what the bible says… LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR… Kids don’t judge… they learn it from their parents…
And to say you afraid the kids will hurt yours? Um no, you are… they not worried about religion… they just want to be kids and play…
Honestly shame on you… You are part of the reason I left Christianity! Because majority of you judge and the bible teaches otherwise… Very self-righteous of you…
Being a certain religion doesn’t make anyone a good person. Plenty of Christians have raped, murdered, etc. Not going to church doesn’t mean someone is bad. But you’ll probably do your neighbors a favor by keeping your kids away.
I thought you’re supposed to love your neighbor and not judge others.

Eeww. Sounds like you’ve probably taught your children the art of judging others very well. I’d say keep your children away from them for THE OTHER CHILDREN’S peace and emotional well-being. You really need to check the way your religion is guiding you to believe division among your fellow human is anywhere near Christ’s guidance to LITERALLY love your neighbors. OP, you’re being gross AF about this!

It’s good to watch who your kids play with as far as trouble goes, but don’t restrict them too much! Because being too strict was like caging a wild animal & then setting it free at 18! If the family is nice & the kids are having fun, relax! You don’t have to be the same religion to be friends!

I swear these posts are NOT real, they can’t be ! If this is a real post I am terrified that people like this exist. It’s so sad that you are calling yourself " Christian", and not even a second later debating if innocent CHILDREN should be able to PLAY as kids want and desire to do, they are born without judgment or fear, and brainwashed by their " parents" that are supposed to teach love and compassion. You have the nerve to say you are Christian, have you ever read your Christian Bible, if so then you would know that you are going against the Bible COMPLETELY, and hiding behind a religion or church that teaches you to have such disgusting, ignorant beliefs. Have you ever read about a man named Jesus, if you have then you would know that Jesus sat amongst prostitutes and sinners, people with diseases and other faiths. Why ? Because he did not judge anyone. Because judgement of another imperfect human being is a sin. I shouldn’t be judging you, I should rather have compassion that your thoughts and mind actually don’t know any better, and I should be so sad that in all these years you have not learned that what you are teaching your children is actually devil like, and with no love there is nothing. Please open your eyes and ears and read and research reality.

Wow I just can’t even. I’m a little offended tbh. You’re worried that their children are gonna hurt yours just because of a pagan sticker on their car? That’s honestly so pathetic. It’s ok to have your own beliefs but this is just ridiculous. For one you’re forcing this type of terrible behaviour into your children which btw is not ok. This behaviour you’re showing is also not ok.
You clearly know nothing of paganism and are just being extremely judgmental and honestly, quite frankly, I wouldn’t want my children hanging around someone like you if this is your attitude towards difference in beliefs.
I think you really need to open your mind because it’s clearly closed off to what is most important in life and it sure as hell ain’t got a thing to do with religion.

Then the Christian kids came with us to Mosque and celebrated Eid and Ramadan with us. Today we are still good friends Christian and Muslim together

My husband and I are part of the satanic temple, I grew up in a Christian household. Never felt like I belonged in it, always felt judged and mistreated.
A part of life is giving your children the freedom to meet other people from all walks of life and that includes religions. This post SCREAMS your basic Christian, very rude judgemental, self righteous, do as I say not as I do. Sin isn’t real, it’s a made up construct.
I was taught that if I didn’t follow the way of Jesus Christ I would go to hell. Now as an adult I don’t believe in hell. I don’t believe in heaven. Let the kids be kids and have friends. They are their own people not pawns.

You are doing your kids a disservice. Forced religion and beliefs can always go side ways and make your grown kids run. We were given free will, its their choice what they choose to believe in their hearts, how can they ever really make that choice for themselves if thats the only choice they had growing up? And, how will your kids ever be able to learn and grow and experience things they will experience in the real world about differences in beliefs etc if they cant now? Theyre gonna be in for a terrible, confusing and painful awakening if it hits them for the first time ever as adults. I think sheltering them is a terrible idea. My son heard about different religions from classmates at school when he was like 7 and wanted to check out books from the library about as many as he could, and i let him, and he read them, and he still believes similar to what i brought them up on knowing and watching what I believed. Snd he remained friends with those kids and they respected each other, had actually deep conversations for 7 yr olds on the subject snd it was beautiful to witness. Also, how else could your children ever be examples? How could they ever share love, good things that other kids may need. If they arent given the opportunity to have natural friendly experiences? I think you will regret this way of raising your kids if you continue it, and you are ultimately blocking god from being able to possibly use them among peers and their families. Im not religious but i have beliefs, and this is just my opinion and advice. And in the end, dont you believe that he has your kids when you do not (because of school, daycare, etc)… also, you said you do not want their kids to talk about their “gods” to your kids… you do realize that in avoiding that, you are also again, diminishing the chance for your kids to do the same… obviously dont allow your kids in harmful situations, but playdates with parents present if you dont let your kids do house play dates (we didnt until our kids were about 6/7 and only after we got a good feel of how their parents were after a few “family” playdates) etc i see more harm being done if you exclude them from having diverse friendships amongst their peers than i do if you allow them to.
So whether you like it or not your kid currently run in to all kinds of folks children that have different religions backgrounds and faith. If your children don’t go to school and you keep them sheltered currently at some point be exposed their lives they will. I understand being protective of your faith. Teach your children to own their faith and respect those of different faith. This is you teaching them how to treat others. Be available answer questions as they come up. Like I really don’t think segregation is the answer at least not from a common sense perspective.

If your children and yourself are truly grounded in Christianity then nothing can deter that relationship with God. Be open to them having questions and honest conversations. But they will always be around people of a different faith, you can’t control that forever. Be open amd tolerant of different faiths.
