Depends on how many y/o they are.

I'm serious too. If they're too young, they won't handle church well. Kids get bored and church isn't easy for them. Once they're mature enough to handle it, sure. That said, I won't force them. Encourage yes, but if they don't want to go, there's no point to forcing them.

Nah.

Like if when they're older, they decide for themselves they want to go, then sure, but I don't see any reason to take them as kids.

Not unless they really decided they wanted to go. There's so many better things to do on Sunday.

As someone who was raised with regular attendance to church, no.

I'm an atheist and my wife is a nonreligious Jew so church would be an unusual choice for us, to say the least.

Well no, I can't imagine there are many chances to go to church in Hell. I'm not surprised that you've got internet access down there though, it certainly explains a lot.

I've wondered about this a few times, actually. I was raised with regular church attendance and even went through confirmation, and I definitely see the value church can have on a developing child... but at the same time, I'm an atheist now and dragging a kid to church would seem a touch hypocritical.

I think this is a good way to go about it.

Don't deny them if they ask, but I wouldn't take them otherwise. TBH when they're really young I might say no, because some of the stuff in the bible is definitely not age appropriate.

This is a good question.

My initial reaction would be to want to expose my kids to a lot of different religions but go to nothing seriously.

But that might be neglecting one of the theoretical benefits of religion- having a stable community greater than just the family

Not sure what I would replace that with

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
