Talking religion
Luke: [age 7] "I don't like it when Grandma talks to me about the Bible."
Mom: "Oh? Why not?"
Luke: "She never lets /me/ talk! And everything she says is true just because she says it. I can't ask questions. I don't mind talking religion but I don't like that."

Praying
[Scene: Beth, age 3, has been reading a child's version of the Bible with her mother]
Mom: "This story talks about Jesus praying for God's help."
Beth: "But I thought Jesus /was/ God."
Mom: "In a way, yes."
Beth: "So... is he just talking to himself?"
