I think religions are false, but don't think it's necessary or healthy to insulate chn from conflicting views.

@omnissiuntone Also age is relevant. My daughter 6 when told God flooded the world killing everyone, still existed & was watching her.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

And yet most kids aren't traumatised by the story of Noah's ark.

Its almost more worrying if kids aren't traumatised by Noah's Ark. Accepting genocide is OK if God's will? Taught in schools?

Not sure that's the message young chn internalise. OT ethics dodgy for sure, but usually presented in benign folksy way.

How? How do you present genocide as benign? You can distract some kids from it but others will still imagine the drowning.

My son was also traumatised by the Noah's Ark story. I was simultaneously angry with the school and proud of him.
