I think it is vital that children learn how to think about Big Questions, and are not palmed off with easy answers. It was because most religious stuff for children is such terrible tripe that I wrote my own.

See you next week! :wave:

See you. Your stuff sounds interesting - is there a possibility to read it (maybe by scanning it)?

Just found an online text in German!

English text is not online, but here is something I haven't found a publisher for yet:

(Links also sent by PM, but in case anyone else is curious, here they are....)

Thanks a lot!

Hmm. A little bit of pantheism, a little bit of deism - and a god nothing like the one in the bible (not omniscient and omnipotent). Strange kind of mixture. But I liked the German text! (are you able to read German, too?)

Now, if only this god would talk to me, too
