It is what it is
I'm an Atheist, and encourage my 10-year-old to think freely and without fear on all topics, including religion and God. Today, on the drive to the ski hill, all I had was a pen and paper to keep him busy. I asked him "If I'm wrong and there is a God, what would you tell him his job was?" Here's his list (I'll try to scan it and attach it if I can... his mis-spelling and hand writing makes it even funnier):
God's Job Description
1.) Come skateboarding, BMXing, snowboarding and roller blading with us
2.) Be nice
3.) Get people to do things for themselves
4.) Don't pick favourites
5.) End racism
6.) Talk to us all
7.) Fight your own battles... don't use people... do it yourself
8.) Show yourself
9.) Give handicaps back what they lost
10.) Do what Robin Hood does without the stealing part
11.) Make poor dudes rich and give them Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches
12.) Stop people from bullying each other
13.) Treat people the same including gay people and ladies
14.) Stop disasters like earthquakes, floods and tornadoes
15.) Only let people use science for good, not for atom bombs and nuclear stuff
16.) If there is hell, make it only for serial killers, Scream (horror movie killer character), Hitler and terrorists
17.) Let us choose when we die but you can only live until 1,000,000 then kill us or we will rot
18,) Make us be able to fly
19.) If there is heaven, let us choose what age you are when you first get there
20.) Make it so only me, Dad and other nice people can add to this list
21.) Only I can take stuff off the list
22.) If people pray for stupid things, tell them to get it themselves
IMO, if we spend less time telling kids what to think, and more time teaching them how to think, we could all learn a lot from them. Any comments?
