Last night on the way home from church Alyssa was just full of questions and comments. This is a usual thing for a Wednesday night and I believe this is due to the fact that I am usually extremely tired from a long work day. Anyway Alyssa first asked me if God was a boy or a girl. She thinks he is a boy because we call Him Father. I explained that God is just God, not male or female and backed it up with some scripture. She seemed to accept my answer but then said, "But Jesus is a boy."
The girl loves to ask though provoking questions when I am at my most tired. So then came the next statement. It went something like this...
Mom I don't believe this but what if God isn't real? That would mean nothing is real because God made everything but nothing is something.
WHAT?! How am I suppose to respond to that? So I said, "Alyssa, I don't even know how to respond to that. Have you been taking philosophy classes at summer camp?" "No mom. What is philosophy class?" "Don't worry about it Alyssa."
Then it was blissfully silent. No more questions...for now.
