The middle finger and hell...

Brayden and I were talking about the devil and hell and how one ends up there; deep stuff for a Monday morning ride to school. We were talking about how some people don't believe in God. Brayden says… "Destiny (a girl in his class) doesn't believe in God" and then with strong conviction and a sound of irritation in his voice he says "God made her!! She should love him to death. I love him to death!"

How we came open the subject in the first place is kind of funny too. I had hurt my finger and I showed it to him, it happened to be my middle finger… so of course I get the "Ummmm, you're in trouble… you just stuck your middle finger up at me". So I explained how God doesn't make dirty fingers and that the middle finger is just as good as the rest... you just have to be careful how you use it. He said "it's ok to stick it up at the ground, because that means you're sticking it up at the devil and we hate the devil". I told him if he felt the need to give a hand gesture to the devil he could give him the thumbs down or better yet, just stick out his tongue at him… so he did, while holding his open palms to each side of his head. Take that, Mr. devil!!
