Re: Dad, Why Can't They Change What They Believe?

“Why don’t they just share it?”

“It’s against what they believe.”

“Why don’t they just change what they believe that way people won’t get killed?”

I am sure the situation is much more complicated but really….its not.
Be sure to remind your son of his wisdom the next time he and his sibling/classmate/etc. are fighting over the same toy, or how to play a game. It's really got nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with human nature. If we weren't fighting over religion, we'd find something else to fight over.
