I'll respectfully disagree.
See, I was never told anything when I was younger, and it twisted my world ten ways to sunday when I found out. I'd rather my sister not have that shock effect. I also don't believe that children simply "can't comprehend" these things. Perhaps they can't understand all the complexities of them yet, but she understands better than half the people my own age I attempt to educate. I can have a more intelligent conversation with my sister than I can most other people.
And, I'll continue to educate her as I learn more.

I agree with her teacher.
She is not really old enough to comprehend. She is just repeating what she is told.
Right, keep that kid in church so you can forcefeed zombie jesus and the not so benevolent man in the sky who will smite her if she doesn't toe the line.
The stupidity of the human race never ceases to amaze me

My kids are all being taught the truth too.
There are a lot of parents who teach their kids "the truth". It can be the religious nut case-neighbors teaching their kids right from the cradle how everyone who doesn't believe in God is bad....or how homosexuals wont go "to heaven"....or how the Aliens abduct people en masse...or how the gvt lies to us and flies holographic planes into the pentagon.
What is this "Truth"? You know the truth? Congratulation, because i don't!
Regardless, i think it's wrong to put such thoughts into a kid's head. All you do is raise kids sharing your own belief, un-critical of other views or beliefs.
At some point, later on, someone might ask the kid why it believes this or that, eg. some debate with someone else who has another viewpoint..and the kid will have no means to even back up its BELIEF since all it does is echoing your belief, it hasn't formed its own opinion - because such usually comes at a much later age by using their reasoning.

Using that flawed logic, the argument can be made that ANYTHING his little sister is taught she is just repeating. How do you know she is just repeating?
I see this exactly the same as the 4 year old who sang the: "Ain't no homo going to make it to heaven." song.

Is that right? And what exactly is it about me teaching my sister the truth about things that's comparable to teaching a much younger child to sing about homos in a church?

just an observation on the course of this thread :
ATS members denounce the teaching of unevidenced religious dogmas to children , but applaud the teaching of unevidenced conspiracy theories .
seems to me " indoctrination " only occurs when you disagree with a dogma
We can argue this all day, but it states plainly in the scripture not to mesh religions, and that includes religious customs... especially ones that portray to the worship of the sun, the moon, and the earth, which is also directly against the Bible.
I'm not making it evil by calling out it's origins. I'm just making it's evil known.
