To some parents, these quotes might be troubling. Some parents, including me.
"Mom, I don't like Jesus. What did he ever do for me?"
"Mom, I don't want to get baptized when I'm eight."
"Mom, church is boring."
"Rachel, the bad people won't hurt you if you're bad, too."
If she were my first child, I would be freaking out. As it is, I'm a bit concerned that all the truth we've been teaching her has fallen on deaf ears. But I believe in agency. So we'll keep teaching truth... and let her govern herself.

Hi Susie! is she three? My daughter will say anything if it is opposite what other people (especially mom) are saying. A phase, hopefully?
When my first was a baby. I'd show her the picture of Jesus on the wall - hoping there would be some miraculous reaction. Lindsey was scared to death of Him and wouldn't even go in that room alone because of the picture. Oh-well. We laugh about it now. You will too.
