But... the only reason we're sinning in the first place is that 1. god created this stuff called "sin" and then made it all the fun stuff and 2. god gave us free will.

I encourage my kids to think for themselves. However, I also don't leave dangerous stuff where they can get to it until they're old enough to know better, and I *certainly* don't go around making all the dangerous stuff *HORRIBLY* appealing..
First off, god did not create sin, a nasty trickster named lucifer did. Second, God gave us free will because he wanted us to be able to choose, and many have chosen to live apart from him.

God doesn't make it appealing. Lucifer does. And maybe this isn't true with your kids, but I have found that the things I am not supposed to have or do are most apealing.


I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
