Proud but perplexed…

My son came home from school yesterday and told me he had been challenged in the playground by a girl who wanted to know if it was true that he didn't believe in god. He said yes, and she said: 'so you believe in Satan?'. He said: 'No, I don't believe in him either.' 'So that means you don't know the difference between right and wrong then?' she said. I was intrigued to hear what he had to say to that. 'I'm a humanist.' he said, 'and I probably know more than you do about right and wrong.' I was very proud to hear his reply, but also felt upset to think that his (supposedly good, Christian) peers seem to think (clearly they are being brought up to believe) that living without religion automatically makes you a bad person.

Comments:
Bravo to him.
 
I'm in a mood tonight. Don't judge me solely on this, please.

"...'No, I don't believe in him either.' 'So that means you don't know the difference between right and wrong then?'...."

"IF YA DON'T EAT YER MEAT (believe in God) YA CAN'T HAVE ANY PUDDING (morals)! HOW CAN YA HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YA DON'T EAT YER MEAT?

Simple logic for simpletons.
 
Good lad, and yeah, I feel sorry for the other kid - obviously she's gonna burn in hell ;)
