Wisdom from the mouths of babies. For those of you who have children, or who know children, etc., this will give you a smile. I suspect that it makes God smile as well. :)

is Reverend Coe a friend of yours,
or do you just know him through the business?

I do not think anybody
could be a better God than you.
Well, I just want you to know that.
I am not just saying that because
you are already God.

23. Dear God,
I didn't think orange went with purple
until I saw the sunset
you made on Tuesday night.
That was really cool.
Thomas

Those kids are going to be so dissapointed.

I almost thought this thread was about me :p

Nice. They've got the 'aw' in 'AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!111!!11!!!!!!!1!!1shift+1!!!1'.

:p Good thread :D

Those kids are going to be so dissapointed.

Why did you have to do that...? Bolol sad...

They're funny rather than wise, except for this one:

1. Dear God,
please put another holiday
between Christmas and Easter.
There is nothing good in there now.
Amanda

If they were really wise, they'd realise there was no God.

Are you guys TRYING to ruin a good thread?

Gah! The cynicism blinds me!

I think the best part is the complete randomness that children show to us all. and the hope they give people.

I liked the one about sending the kid to the other camp though, classic.

Are you guys TRYING to ruin a good thread?

Gah! The cynicism blinds me!

I'm not being cynical. I'm simply stating that funny is not wise. It is a good thread, and the first post is still what people will see first, so I'm not ruining it for anyone.

Why did you have to do that...? Bolol sad...
Well, it was going to happen. I just got there first.

The cynicism blinds me!I love cynicism, personally ;)

how super cute !!!!!!!!


note to self: eavesdrop on my kids nightly prayers tonight.......:p

17. Dear God,
my brother told me about
how you are born
but it just doesn't sound right.

Marsha


Hahahah, everytime I read this I hear " What say you Biatch?! " in my head:p .

Those kids are going to be so dissapointed.

I thought we Christians were the ones trying to shove our beliefs down people's throats.
:rolleyes:

Just speaking my belief is "shoving it down your throat"? So I have to keep completely silent and never tell anyone what I think?

No, you just have to wait until a better opportunity comes up.

Some of the prayers are a little critical, anyway. Like the "Why do people break so easily?" one.

Yes, the prayers do show some of the reasoning that one needs to find the flaws, but they do not reach the logical conclusion. This is just my opinion. Others are free to disagree. They can even quote my post and say little more than "I disagree" if they want to (I'm just showing that I saw it coming).

Not at all. While these little people may have had flawed ideas in their prayers, for you to conclude with an absolute statement that they will be disappointed is essentially conveying that what you think, as it likely disagrees, is the way things are, and whoever else disagrees is deceived, because they haven't become "disappointed."

Nadkor said they'd be disappointed. Personally, I doubt that they will.

I will, however, accept that my comment could be considered "shoving".

Nadkor beat me to the punchline, damn!

Why is my name red? I didn't think I did anything to the color.

I shall concede that speaking one's beliefs as absolutes is not shoving anything.

I just hope those kids find a fulfilling relationship with the One to which they pray. I would hate for them to be confused. ;) :p
