How much senseless materialism get pounded into kids, as well. Religions are the only ideas being pushed in our world. I don't think that what you did was the most tactful thing you could have done. Taking her trust in her mother's words, and trying to crush them is the same as what you think she is doing. I can see why you feel like you do. But showing how responsible adults act could have been much more poweful. Lead by example. It's a free world, do what you want, but freedom is a responsibilty as well.
