This evening
Holly: Dad, where does the world come from? I mean who was the first person on earth?
Dad: Well, people have been asking that question for thousands of years. People have different religious beliefs like Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Judaism and many more. Some of these have similar ideas about how the world started and some have very different ideas.
Holly: Dad, what do YOU believe.
Dad: I think that it's more complicated than we can understand at the moment. We have many ideas but we don't really know
Holly: Dad, I think John Smith and Bob Marley created the world
Dad: [temporarily lost for words]
Mom: John Smith?! Which John Smith, the John Smith from Pochahontas?
Holly: No, John Smith from the Springboks.
WTF? I really have to marvel at the thought process that spurned this gem!!
Tuesday evening
Dad: Holly, how were Bahai lessons today?
Holly: Dad, Christ died!
Dad: Really?
Holly: Yes, he was kneeling down in the forest praying and a hunter thought he was a buck and shot him!
I think the time has come for me to put a little more effort into understanding the Bahai faith's beliefs :)
