Just like santa, at some point both my kids asked me what I thought, because I never spoke about religion. I looked at my wife and she have me a resigned, polite nod, basically saying, "oh fuck, go ahead". So, I told them MY thoughts on religion.

A few years on and my son knows there's no god, but my daughter, who's a couple years younger, still believes on him. As a parent I feel I've done my job. I've allowed them to choose instead of force my own beliefs on them...the same way people who believe in god do.

Hopefully some day, my daughter will realize the truth, but if she doesn't, and it doesn't consume her life, so be it. There's worse things in life.

Some dickhead ruining the myth of santa for a five year old kid who's excited for Christmas, just days BEFORE Christmas is much worse IMO.
