I recall my children telling me when they were in high school how many children claimed not to believe in God. I guess we are from a smaller town than Shreveport/Bossier and they had never come across anyone that didn't believe in God and if they did well no one said anything.
I honestly believe children say this to try to make a statement or to draw attention to themselves just like kids do body piercings, wear strange clothes or just try to be different to make people say OH MY GOD!
Using that example about grass, if Brain is out there I am curious to know his answer to that one.
