so try to accept that you're wrong this instince, and don't be a dick to someone trying to be nice

It's just not that simple. Everyone does have there thing, but should that thing be something that your mom or dad pounded into your head before you were old enough to understand? shouldn't everyone have a chance to have their own thing instead of their parents thing?
I fail to see how the simple ability to reproduce gives a parent the right to dictate to their children a belief that may forever run their lives. It's wrong, and if a mom can drag her kid along door to door to spread the word, then I damn sure find it ok to take 5 seconds to give the little girl a little dose of reality.
and why does everyone act like I shattered this little girls world anyway?
do you really think that what I said is going to have any effect? I can only hope that she will eventually remember the man that told her god is not real and that it makes her think, but to say that I just changed her mind right there in that instance is just stupid.
