Their parents lied.
Nikola Tesla created light. I mean seriously, how could someone mislead those poor children so badly? :(
too much time on your hands there people..
Nice one, tool. He spelled everything correctly, just used an incorrect word. Spell check would give an A - OK.
I thought they were adorable and very poignant, for kids.
Also, to say it is not enough to believe in something if it is wrong, and only to believe in facts and logic is actually not a fallacious argument against the belief in God assuming that you are implying that the existence of God is wrong. To say we must believe in what is factual, and the existence of God is not factual, therefore we should not believe in the existence of God is fallacious on several levels. First of all, you have offered no evidence as to why we should take your word that the existence of God is not factual. Just because you believe it, or wish it to be true, does not make it so. Also, you have made the error of false alternative. Assuming that the assertion that the existence of God is not factual is true, coupled with the assertion that we should only believe in things that are factual, does not mean that we must necessarily believe that God does not exist. The truth that the existence of God is nonfactual does not make it true that the nonexistence of God is factual. It could simply be that the existence of God does not yet have enough evidence to be considered fact. Therefore, the logical conclusion from that argument is not "Believe God does not exist." But rather "Don't believe anything about the existence of God." And if we do only believe in "facts" then hope would not exist at all. And hope is essential to the very progress of our species in an intellectual environment based on more than just instinct and "fight or flight".

well then, there's enough proof supporting religion as their is against it. can't we call it a stalemate? besides, even if there was a god (not to say there is or isn't, but...), would he/she/they not make it so that their existence could not be proved?
just some food for thought.
But C'mon guys, you had to have a smile on your face!
But theses sentences are so cute, even if they have been written by an adult hand, I don't care.
We're a humanist community that does good works, potlucks, weekly platform meetings, etc. That's basically it; religion without the hocus pocus. EthicalFocus.org
That's not being an athiest, that's being an asshole and a hypocrite. Feeding them your belief is no better than them feeding you theirs. And how do you actively not believe in something? You do or you don't.
I may not believe in the bible, but I'm pretty sure it got it right when it said to love your neighbor. Treat others as you'd have them treat you, etc. Are you the same age as these kids? You sure as hell act like it.
Anyone else notice the name Mickey D? LOL.
um, why?
to the fundamentalists on both sides, will you both just shut up, whilst the parents beliefs are usually followed by the children, later they either come to question what they were taught, or will continue to lead lives with religion intwined.
at the end of the day, whether your a good person so you get to go to heaven, or your a good person because its the right thing to do, who cares?, if your a bad person, the threat of going to hell is usually an idle threat, and if you dont believe in a god, and it turns out there is one and you were a terrible person...guess where your going?
I'm sure belief in god or not, if you do the right thing, good things will come of it
Something to think about
As for the delusional religion thing, no worries, there's always college and hopefully they will find enlightenment there!
So, who started the racism discussion?!
And those of you who are already DISILLUSIONED by hatred, think before you type. You can show nothing but hatred. Maybe you should learn to love yourself a little bit first.

I'm an analytical person, but really, does this need analyzing?
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen"
"...the fool has said, in his heart, that there is no God"
Everything everywhere is composed of atoms, held together by an invisible unexplained force...
God only know what it is....
God is not a lamp you rub and make a wish, and if your wish doesn't come true, then ipso facto there is no God.
If you are reading this, it is because God loves you...
If you look at the comments you can see how many stupid assholes you have created. So long and thanks for the shoes
To claim that teaching a child religion is akin to sexual and physical abuse not only trivializes those who have suffered physical and sexual abuses but is also unconscionable and repugnant. I was raised Southern Baptist and let me assure you the beatings I received from a neighborhood caretaker and molestation I experienced from a separate neighbor did far more harm to me than my Southern Baptist upbringing ever did.
I don't think I have ever said this to anyone before but you seriously disgust me.
You should see this website it's really adorable... but for some reason people are arguing over it and some people are even getting upset...
I would love to read your source for this information. You do have one, correct? It's written with such authority on the subject, you simply must have some research somewhere that backs this claim up, right?
Oh, wait. You don't because it's not true. My children go to a Christian private school and I can guarantee that they have better critical reasoning skills than the children at the local public school do.
not all children who are exposed to religion and who "write letters to God" will suffer from christian ignorance.
if they were written by real kids, cute. if not, who cares?
I hope you got the letter and
I pray
you can make it better down here.
I don't need a big reduction in the price of beer
but all the people that you made in your image,
see them starving on their feet,
'cause they can't get enough to eat from God
I can't believe in you.
Dear God, I'm sorry to disturb you but,
I feel that i should be heard loud and clear
we all need a big reduction in amount of tears
and all the people that you made in your image,
see them fighting in the street,
'cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease,
and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind,
After we made you?
And the devil, too?
Dear God,
I don't know if you've noticed but,
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
us crazy humans wrote it you should take a look
and all the people that you made in your image,
still believin' that junk is true,
well i know it ain't, so do you,
Dear God.
i can't believe in....
i don't believe in....
i won't believe in
Heaven or Hell,
no saints no sinners, no devil as well
no pearly gates,
no thorny crown
you're always letting us humans down
the wars you bring
the babes you drown
those lost at sea and never found
and if you're up there you'd percieve, that my heart's here upon my sleeve
if there's one thing i don't believe in
It's You
Dear God.
i am as much of a skeptic as the next person when it comes to God and religion. but when i was a kid, i went to church, i prayed to jesus, all that jazz.
not all children who are exposed to religion and who "write letters to God" will suffer from christian ignorance.
if they were written by real kids, cute. if not, who cares? "
E X A C T L Y !!!!!!!!!!!!
Lighten up people or get a life - my God you all sound crazy !
I believe in God,
I believe in Heaven,
and I believe in the epic struggle of good and evil where the thing both sides crave and desire is the hearts of you and me.
If children believe in God, maybe they'll care about what they do and say to eachother.
I don't care if you believe it or not, but in every religion, every creed, and that includes those who are atheist and those who simply don't give a damn, there are these good people. Similarly in every culture, creed, religion and so on, there are these bad people.
Albert Einstein believed, so do I.
I think it's sick to brainwash kids to believe in something as dangerous as religion.
As a side, I suppose if the majority of people on this planet believe in a higher power and/or creator, then billions of intelligent human beings are essentially living in a "matrix" ...?
And Mike, sorry bro but the burden of 'evidence of god' is square on you and yours cause me and mine can explain with science which only works with evidence.
Jeremiah 2:29
Bless You all..I pray for each and every one of you.
I thought these were ADORABLE, particularly the big ups for extinct-ing the dinosaurs. God, you did the right thing. HAHAA
Thanks for praying for me. In return, I'll think of you the next time I masturbate.
-Russ
i just want to be gone... T_T
but thanks for adding me in your world
Do not be sad..or afraid because God is near to those who call to Him. Your life has a purpose (one that is very meaningful to Him)

If anyone has any prayer requests or concerns..I'd be more than happy to pray for you ^_^ Bless you all
Who cares if this is fake or not? have any of you ever tried to have a conversation with a child? some still believe in the tooth fairy, Santa, or anything you tell them, let them be kids and enjoy their innocence.
It is really painful that instead of enjoying the innocence, people are actually sitting there arguing about things that dont really matter.
Anyway people,read miracle of mind power by Dan Custer.You'll learn things beyond your imagination.I know i did and it's worth it. :D
LOL
-love, atheist.
<333
although your conversations are hilarious...their pointless. good job
I'm enjoying the arrogance of the people who said these children are being fed "lies" about the existence of God. You are just humans--who are you to say what does or doesn't exist in this world? Are you so arrogant as to believe that those who have faith are "stupid" or "spineless" and truly in the wrong? Science has been wrong countless times, so I wouldn't rule out the existence of a higher power. Just sayin'.
This is truly besides the point of this post, but since you brought it up, there's my input.
God Bless Eric !!!
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, Who, by the will of the Father, with the cooperation of the Holy Spirit, have by Your death given life to the world, deliver Eric by this Your Most Sacred Body and Blood from all sins and from every evil. Make him cling to , and never permit him to be separated from You. Who with the same God the Father and the Holy Spirit, live and reign, God, world without end.
Amen.
On another note, the only ignorant ones are those who ASSUME something (or SOMEONE) doesn't exist just because he or she doesn't believe in it (or HIM).
If I am wrong and atheists are right. I've lost nothing when I die, but if I'm right, they've lost everything.
GOD DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ATHEISTS!!!
If they weren't presented as real, I would not be offended.
Why be offended then? Well, because these letters all suggest children either have some inner wisdom, are comedians, or are stupidly cute. Which, though maybe some people don't want to acknowledge it, isn't true.
What's worse is that the author has created some fifty fake relationships with God and presented them as real. I think the religious and the atheists can agree that's wrong.
But when you look back into the studies, and genuine factual science of the collective minds of this planet, see the part where the majority of scientists are telling you THERE IS ACTUALLY MORE PROOF AND EVIDENCE POINTING TOWARDS THE GENUINE EXISTENCE OF GOD, THAN NOT.
Ultimately; you are wrong. and your own "joke" is on you, and it is you people who will be crying and begging when The Rapture happens, asking for a second chance..but by then...will it be too late? Get some perspective on the facts, instead of your unsubstantiated rhetoric.
A.I.
If you speak in an earth language, what acent do you have?
Eve (Yes. Adam's wife.)
(Hahaha.. I ate the apple!)
(Om nom nom nom...)
Actually I think it's wonderful that people at all can believe in something greater. I do myself, and I enjoy these comments so much :) I think it's super amazing that these small children show their thoughts in their letters! :)

"interesting how many people are against this whole idea and make claims about religion being a hoax.

I do agree that there is not enough support in proof of God. But there are no ways to disprove it either.
Throughout the whole Bible no one says anything about fact. They speak of wisdom and knowledge. Knowledge is as close as you will come. But what does Jesus specificaly say? "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live."
(John 11:25)
See to me, that means that everyone is saved through faith. Not proof. I highly doubt that anyone can find the passage in the Bible where it says " And ye (because someone who liked the KJV would try) whomsoever finds my hidden message in the future will know everlasting life!" The argument of no proof of God is simply ignorant, because people are saved through faith in God. This arguement is not considered valid but most Christians for this reason. Not Knowledge. Not proof.
As far as some other statements from people who say that this is child abuse(if it's really written by kids) is kinda odd. If anything I would think (if i was an atheist) that it would be a handy way to teach a kid morality. Granted, Christian morals, but I seriously doubt that anyone would argue against Christian morals. Beliefs maybe, but not morals. Things that society at large can pretty much agree with. Don't kill, don't lie, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Things like that. And even though they are gettting taught this at a young, impressionable age, there is nothing stopping a child from growing up and deciding what they believe. I did it. I've read the "translation" of the Koran. I've read the Book of Morman. I'v researched other religions including Judaism, Rastafari, and even Zoroasrtrianism (I think that's spelled right). I went to school and learned the theory of evolution (by the way, Darwin was a Christian) (so was Mendal I think, although I can't speak on his peas' beliefs). I still believe what I believe. I believe in offering what I believe to others if they want to take the time to listen (er...read) and I believe in not pushing it once they want to stop talking about it. Now honestly, other than using up a bit of time did anything I say hurt anyone?
Okay, now to other relgionist, Christian or otherwise, research a bit into something before you argue against it. Not because you might change your mind but because you then have the ability to argue against it. I'm so tired of hearing people, supposed learned preachers included, talk about the other beliefs and how they are wrong and not be able to tell me why it's wrong, other than it's not what the Bible says. God gave you a brain, use it.

To all those who ask why do people suffer if there really is a God, why do bad things happen to good people, etc. What kind of choice would it be if no matter what you chose, only good things happened. Seriously. I believe that God made a dynamic world. One that he can control every facet but doesn't. What good would free will be if we all had everything we wanted or needed. Now while some people don't choose to starve, others do choose to let them. So stop arguing the existance of God and go feed someone who's hungry, clothe someone who needs clothes, or at least just make the world a better place because of your actions. Not arguements. And please no one comment back with "why arn't you?" I'm not trying to be holier than thou, as the saying goes, just telling you a way to make the world a better place. That's what your arguements are intended for I would hope. To improve the world.
- Jonathan
Funness: I made at least one intentional typo. Take time out of arguing to find it! And no, it's not the word argueing, because i just realized it's actually arguing.
If we're here because of a "big bang", where did THAT come from?
Firstly, to the Agnostics, and Atheists. Stop a second and realize that the 'Organized Religion' that people stuff down their kids throats, is infact no different then spouting off with how it's all crap and fake; which incidentally you guys do. We could care less about your opinions on God, and how it never happened. Get over yourselves. I'm truly sorry you're unhappy in your life, and feel the need to try and bring down someone elses dreams.
Secondly; to the evolutionists..Just..No. We don't have the time to go into how wrong you are. Darwin said the Survival of the Fittest. Not dinosaurs turning into birds. Jesus.
Thirdly, well that about ends my rant. These were written by adults, the reason: Undisclosed. However, ranting and waving your picket sign does nothing more then prove that you need to be noticed. Which is what I'm doing, and will probably catch flak for. But I don't care.
It's got to stop. Either that or you guys can kill yourselves off. Remember: A mob is only as smart as it's stupidest member. And the Internet my friends, is one big unruly ass mob.
Ethan.
For those of you blasting off at the mouth screaming how these kids will grow up illusioned, and misguided.
I hate to tell you guys this. But we all have a choice, free will and all that. Something the good Lord granted us.
Do you really believe for one second that being raised in the Church will forever condemn you to being a bible thumping 'Convert the Heathens by sword! ' time of person? No, they change. Even if these letters WERE real, by the time these kids hit high school, they'll be pot heads, drunken fools, oh and teen-sex having kiddos, who forsake god as ' That bastard up there.' Or will be guided down a different path, just as many of you Agnostic, and Athiests have been led down.
And for any Wiccans out there, stop screaming at the Christians, you guys are Pagans. Not freaking witches, or druids. And in all honesty, being a Wiccan means you're a healer.
Moving on..I think I'm down with my two cent Euro piece.
Ethan.
I do believe my rambling tirade is at it's end. Goodnight ladies and gentlemen.
Ethan.
