Out of nowhere at lunch today, from my 8-year old son -

Him: "Why do so many Christian songs use the h-word?"

Me: "Do they? I don't listen to Christian music, but where are you hearing these songs?"

Him: "I think they do. That's what my friends say."

Me: "Well, hell is a Christian concept, so it makes sense that those songs might mention it."

Him: "Hmmm . . . I believe in hell so I must be a Christian."

Me: "You haven't developed full analytical reasoning capabilities so you don't get to pick a religion."

Him: "Can we play Mario Kart after lunch?"
