my 9 year old Gemini son..."There is absolutely no chance a God Exists" (Page 2)

Just expose him to as many religions and cultures as possible. It'll teach him to be open minded and accepting of all peoples.

I agree. the best thing parents can do is to prepare children for diversity.

not only to avoid own bigotry

but also to handle others people's bigotry.

where sometimes the latter is a matter of survival, right?

Quite peculiar coming from a younger generation...He has a cap moon and cancer rising. Im not concerned or anything. i Want him to believe in what he wants to. Any advice on how to handle this as he grows older? im not religious myself, but hes very determined to prove what he believes is the truth, and i wouldn't him him to bump heads with someone who is of faith and end up making enemies.

haha my daughter has the same placements you mentioned. 🙂

nuture it; get him to a library and let him just dive into it.

and i think one should have one or two enemies in life. no use in being a people-pleaser.

I agree with all what you say.

like "my first big mental project"

.................. library .......... Gemini ......... must be love

yeah, a Gem will have for sure enemies. one or two.

I bet one of them is a Sag with Capricorn placements. there you have the deal.

I don't have any in RL. That's why I like it here ?

My mother's natal Jupiter is in Gemini.

This thread is illuminating parts of her life.

There was a time (about 1-2 years) where she had this "my own mental project". Our house was full with her books. She met lots of people to discuss with. For and against Creation.

well, she "found love in a hopeless place". and lost it again.

"that was quite a show" ... "very entertaining" .... Rihanna's song.

This is the first time in my life that I see where it came from.

when youhave the right planet in the wrong place.

I think I'd never have had patience for debates between the creationists and the rest of the world. I read history of religions when I was 14-16. no debates. just bird view. that was good enough for my non-confrontational cat. belief shopping. flashes of insight. one flower from every meadow.

"get to that momentum of void on his end, then I would insert my believe in God and the reasons"

isn't it missionary to "insert"?

well, nothing wrong with that if you chose to play this role.

I would not insert. I would say "review this discussion in your lonliness and consider ..."

following your scenario: once he has noticed the void, he'll make the next step on his own.

there are phases a child is curious, and phases it is defiant.
