Greetings All:
I would say yes with clarifications. My father is a Mason and due to him I told my first Sunday School teacher that I believed in Buddah,Jesus and Mohammad (I was around 2). Now I can tell you with definite fact ... I didn't know what I was talking about. The child has to be gradually prepared and this usually is within the parents faith (altho I truely wasn't ... my father was raised a Lutheran and my mother being from the Russian Orthodox faith). I really only remember the handful of experiences of my early years in the Protestant Church. I would have liked if my parents talked about their belief system instead of leaving me up to my own explorations. It is nice to have a safe base to begin with. I would have enjoyed getting the jump on the concept of A Creator/ Higher Power and Spiritual Evolution.
With my son we exposed him to our belief system to begin with. I spoke of other peoples belief's as they came up on a daily basis.
In little bites that grew as he matured. I never put negatives on what we spoke about. He was free to read whatever he wanted
once I noticed he had discernment and knew the difference between fantasy and reality.
That is why I vote yes, but with clarifications.
Love & Light,
