Seriously? People like you are the one of the reasons it took me so long to find my way to God in the first place. Your children are going to make their own decisions in life. They will be exposed to many things outside of your control. As Christians we are supposed to love thy neighbor. It doesn’t say love thy neighbor only if they share your beliefs. If I was your children and you told me I could only associate with people who have the same beliefs… oh boy would the rebellion begin

I truly cannot believe what I just read…a huge part of me feels like it HASSS to be a joke but the realistic side sadly knows it’s not… May I ask what your plans are for when the kiddos go to school? Are they going to attend a strict Christian school? You plan on preventing them from being friends with any other kid if they are not raised as Christian’s?! When mind you it’s not the kids fault…it’s their parents choice on how to educate them religious wise or not…whatever their preference is…Why take that out on an innocent kiddo who just sees another child bud/her age and wants to come skip rope, play hide and seek, ride bikes…FFS It’s not like they’re going to be sitting in the backyard having a séance or bible study…THEY ARE CHILDREN!! Do you as parents know that every single one of your “friends”/co-workers, people you interact with on a daily basis are Christian’s? If you get a work partner that you have to be side by side with daily who is Atheist, Catholic, Pagan but is a really nice person in general what would you do? Quit your job? Be mean to the person? Just because they don’t have the same belief system you do? That person still bleeds red just as you and I do my dear. I am willing to bet that there are plenty of people you and your SO surround yourselves with daily whom are not Christian or they do believe in God but do not identify as Christian and you probably get along wonderfully and really enjoy said person…if a year down the road you find out person X is of faith but not Christian per-say…are you going to drop them?
Please just let the kids be kids!! They are all growing up so fast these days! Wayyyyy faster than we ever did…enjoy it and let them enjoy it while it lasts.
Oh and lastly…just as you wouldn’t expect or appreciate the Pagans preaching or pushing Paganism on you or your littles…keep in mind to reciprocate that courtesy IF you do decide to allow the kids be kids…Together!!

One of our sons girlfriends is Muslim and her parents were very unhappy with our son we talked with the father and told him we don’t have a problem with it as he seemed to think we should and said well if they were going to marry he would have to convert and our response was that’s his decision if he wants to not ours. I wouldn’t worry about someone’s kids of a different faith influencing your kids and you also need to realize you can’t protect them from everything they will learn and decide like everyone else.

So are you going to shelter them their entire adult life too? What happens when they move our and go to college? Mommy’s not going to be there to hide them from all the worldly things. I am Christian too and grew up that way. My mom was super over protective kinda how imo seems like your being, and I rebelled really hard. Pray for your children. And I thought as Christians we were not supposed to judge and to share God’s word. So maybe look at this as an opportunity to share your faith and make friends. Remember Jesus didn’t hang around only the holy people.

Also you should do more research on pagans cuz you sound ignorant and you should also look up Christian practices because believe it or not the majority of holidays that are supposedly Christian aren’t

Now ur scared of ur neighbors kids… Grow up, let them play… When they grow up they will choose what they want to believe in anycase, then you wont be able to stop them
Just wait until your kids grow up and find out who Constantine was and all the Pagen rituals you’ve made them believe are Christian… you need to study up on your Religion, where 99% of the stories in the Bible come from and pay real close attention to that Christmas tree you put up every year and the origins of that… this is actually quite comical to anyone who is educated in Religion and someday your kids will find the truth out even if you try to stop them…

Please allow your kids to play with their friends. Religion should NEVER have a bearing on children’s friendships. The only thing that will come from separating them is resentment. As a mom that grew up in the church and later went to paganism I can tell you that parents can be their kids worst enemies when it comes to these situations. Allow your kids that diversity, I beg of you!

It’s like with Jehovah’s Witnesses, I tell them, that they can tell me about their god but then I get to tell them about my God.
So everyone needs to have the same imaginary friend to be okay? Lmao… this post HAS to be satire.

Wow… so I grew up In a catholic family on my dad’s side my mom wasn’t really into religion but we went to church as a family. None of us kids turned out to be catholic. When I became a mom I always said I will let my kids choose for themselves I didn’t go to church because of hypocrites mostly. And the fact that most of the church’s make you feel like you don’t belong there. But when my kids got to the age where there friends was asking them to come to church I let them it was there choice. As they got older a couple of them turn to more of a Pagan and wiccan beliefs. My younger ones still fully believe in Christianity. When I got remarried my husband is Christian and we as a family go on Sundays because that’s the only thing this man ask of us and he works his ass off so we go for him and he knows 3 of us don’t have the same beliefs and I straight up told him the first time they bash our religion I will walk out. It’s been 2 year and haven’t had that problem. This church my husband goes to Is the prime example of what Christianity is. They don’t bash other ppl religions they make you feel welcome no matter what. Anyway my point is. Is to let your children choose while there young instead of while there adults and become resentful of you and your religion because you want to shelter them from everything that’s not your way or your beliefs.
I don’t know about where you live but when I was at school and still to this day 25 years later. The kids do religious education on a weekly basis at school
It’s for all kids, religious or not. It’s really not normal to shelter them from how others live. Your seem extremely judgmental and when your kids are older, they are going to realise how judgmental you are of their friends, when you have no reason to be and they aren’t going to like you very much for it. May even rebel against you and the religion to prove a point, I don’t know. But they are going to see that’s how religion has made you think and I don’t think any decent person would like that. Just preying your kids have their own minds and aren’t influenced by your judgmental thoughts on others.
Glad you aren’t my mom. I’m Catholic and grew up with people of other faiths. It made me a better person.

As a Christian mom it is our job to raise our children in faith and let them teach others. Jesus hung out with nonbelievers and told them that He was the only way to heaven. At some point your kids will be in situations with nonbelievers and the earlier they know how to be around them the better. Ultimately it’s your choice who you let them play with but you won’t be able to protect them from people who worship differently for their entire life.

Children are born innocent and know nothing but love and dont see religion, race etc as a reason not to play or know someone, they take them at face value…adults, society, role models teach them to act out of hate or fear and to make judgements about others. Maybe (and this is not meant to sound nasty, but parting friendly advice) maybe take a leaf out of your childrens books and see people with innocent loving eyes, not your adult learnt fear based behaviours…also maybe talk to your children about other religions and why you believe what you believe…even letting them question your beliefs if they feel that way, let them explore and come to their own educated decision…i dont think anyone wants to he told what to think or believe in, imagine if you were told you were absolutely not allowed to follow or share your christian faith, beliefs, rituals would you think that was ok? You want the best for your children to raise them in gods love, so be gods love. You believe in god, so pray and ask him for the answers, read your bible, talk to others in your church community, your minister, because I think deep down you know your response is one based in fear and not from a devoted christians core belief, and while some people have given constructive advice, you will have had to sift through all the hateful.nasty ones to see them and that isnt good for anyone’s mental.health, good luck

Really? As a “love thy neighbour, he who throws the first stone” god fearing christian you’re asking if you should stop your kids from playing with someone of a different faith?
Well your options are 1) keep your children inside all the time, and only allow them outside with people who you witness attending church, not just ones who SAY they do. Then take them out of public school immediately, and enroll them in a single gender religious school. Never allow them to go anywhere without you, so you KNOW there is no possibility that they are ever exposed to the knowledge that OTHER RELIGIONS EXIST AND THAT IS OKAY WITH EVERYONE EXCEPT YOUR FAMILY. In fact you and other like minded people should start your own commune, to protect the rest of us from your judgment and hypocrisy. It would truly be the benefit of the rest of us.
I bet you are the type who think homeless people and those struggling should be ashamed to come to church, because they can’t dress up or give tithes too…

Yikes. Your kids go out into the world and well meet all kinds of people with different faiths, that doesn’t mean they’re bad influences. And being christian doesn’t automatically make them good people either. They’re kids and likely don’t even care as much about religion as you do or want them to

Isn’t Christianity supposed to be all about acceptance, or am I behind? And you are aware that the December 25th to you was actually a pagan holiday before your religion changed it to “Christmas” right? I’m very much atheist, and I can tell you I’ve never judged ANYONE on who they believe in or what, or not. I judge character. Not everyone needs something else to believe in besides themselves and the world around them. Let your children have fun being kids without teaching them to openly judge others on those types of things. The world needs good people, regardless of religious beliefs, or lack thereof.

As a Christian, growing up very few kids at my school were Christian and that definitely did NOT stop me believing, didn’t influence me at all. Why? Because I LOVED my relationship with God and going to church abd Sunday school and singing church songs, I loved all of it.
In high school it gets even worse, as teenagers go looking outside of themselves for answers and YES many learn or experiment with different religions or beliefs.
And again NO ONE else beliefs swayed my own.
I did make a choice in High school that I wouldn’t be around anyone into “black magic” type things or satanic music etc because those “beliefs” are the complete opposite to mind and I won’t be around anything like that.
Ironically the people I know who were brought up only with Christrans felt more smothered than me and many lost faith in their teenage years due to feeling forced into a belied set.
Just my experience.
Have you heard of the Golden Rule? If you are a Christian then your post doesn’t reflect it. Shame on you. Turn to John. 13. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Talk to your neighbors. Could be a bumper sticker for a band, a team, or just be provocative for fun. Used to be the name of a motorcycle gang too. Also, kids don’t generally talk about religion except in terms of getting presents, candy or other special treats.
Do you let your kids hunt for Easter eggs? Eoster is a pagan goddess & eggs are a symbol for fertility from pagan traditions, so there’s that. Do you have a Christmas tree? Druidic tree worshiping tradition. And Christians who profess to “take eat, this is my body” and drink “this is my blood” don’t have a lot of room to talk about weird beliefs.
BTW, Jesus was a practicing Jew and suffered for his faith, and never wanted to start a new religion, just change how people lived. He also never professed to be the “Son of God,” in fact when asked he said, “That is who YOU say I am” (emphasis mine).
Martin Luther just wanted to improve Christianity, not start a new religion, but it ushered in the reformation which started the splintering of a bunch of Christian sects. Some of the early popes weren’t even Christian, it was more of a political patronage position.
If your example and teaching and religion aren’t strong enough to stand up to a challenge from other faiths, maybe you need to rethink things.
Also, don’t you think your kids have a right to think for themselves? That their beliefs should come from something other than “because I said so”? That said, usually kids stick with whatever religion their parents had anyway and keep going to the same religious services because that’s what feels comfortable and most people dislike change. I got exposed to different (though mainstream) religious growing up, ironically through church youth group, which gave me wisdom and understanding but didn’t make me choose another faith, though I liked the idea of ditching your shoes at the door of the Islamic center!

I sure hope you don’t participate in any Pagan activities/holidays and if you’re not sure which holidays/activities I’m speaking of then use google.
If Jesus only associated with those of the Christian faith, many of his followers would never have followed him.
Think about it, his best followers were tax collectors, whores and people possed by demons.
You, as a Christian, are suppose to be the light. To associate with all and show them God’s love regardless of faith, race or wealth.
Associating with them does not mean you agree with them or will now follow their ways, it only means that you have countless opportunities to tell them about God, his love and his grace. To lead them to Him.
God calls us to be shepards.
Christians already have a sheppard namely God. Others do not, if you refuse to be a sheppard, you cannot call yourself a christian.
Yes. It’s also good to learn different ways of living or even different cultures or backgrounds. Most cultures do mix & some do not want outside influences & relationship wise they stay with their own. One side of my family, most are Christians but maybe not so strict. & just a warning. Your child may or maybe not want to be Christian when their older.
Also, many modern Pagans lean more towards ecology, using natural/herbal medicine, giving thanks for the elements of the Earth like earth, air, fire, and water, and being grateful for the seasons, the heavens and their ancestors. Not many are cat-sacrificing devil-worshippers.

Get a grip. I guess you expect other kids in school to announce their faith before approaching your children? Good luck with that. Maybe those kiddos will be better off without you. Sounds like you’re raising them poor babies into a cult like lifestyle. Major red flag.
I think you need to re-read the Bible. God accepts and loves all. Also, your children should be aware and taught about all different faiths. If you find they have questions you can answer them. They are children so I highly doubt religion will come up during playing.
