Alex's Spiritual Interests

My very black-and-white little guy has been spouting off some very interesting comments as of late. 

One day last week on the way to school:

Alex:  So Max (false name being used for confidentiality purposes) is coaching me about God.  I'm a great learner about God.
Mom:  Oh really?  Well that's nice. 
Alex:  Yup.  I'm going to be an expert about God.
Mom: Well I don't know about that.  There is a lot to learn.
Alex:  (hyperjumps to talking about his teacher)

The drives to school result in the most interesting conversation with Mr AJ.  He takes Adderall every morning and about 45 minutes after he takes it he gets really, really chatty.  It's so amusing.  We call it 'the chatty hour'.  Anyhow, I chalked up the rambling to 'the chatty hour'.  Until a few days later, again on the way to school:

Alex:  When I die, I will be reborn.  I will be an animal.  I love animals.
Mom:  Reborn?  Where did you learn that word?
Alex:  Max told me about that.  When you die, you are reborn.  I guess that must happen in heaven.
Mom:  Well, heaven I understand.  I think great grandpa is in heaven and I want to go to heaven.  But I don't think I will be reborn as an animal in heaven.
Alex:  Well, ok but that's not what Max said.  But there is a lot of golf there, right?
Mom:  In Mom's heaven - not so much golf.  In Dads heaven - there will be plenty.
Alex:  Then I will play golf.  I will just be a person.  But there will be animals there.
Mom:  Ok - sounds like a plan.

Again, funny little conversation - but par for the course during chatty hour  :)  Although I'm starting to wonder what Max's religious affiliation might be with the re-birth references.

Tonight at dinner, Alex is looking out the window at the night sky:

Alex:  There is George Washington, but I'm not sure where great grandpa is.
Tanner:  Yeah, there is George Washington.
Mom:  What are you talking about?  Are you looking at stars?
Alex:  Yeah.  When people die they become stars.
Mom:  Who told you that?  (knowing full well now what the answer will be)
Alex:  Max of course.
Mom:  Of course.  Well, I don't think that people become stars.  I think they go to heaven.
Tanner:  Well, once again, Max lied to you Alex.
Mom:  Not true.  Max believes one thing.  I believe another.  Neither of us are wrong.

Yikes.  These are deep conversations for the little guy.  I'm sure there is so much more going through his head, but I get only bits and pieces.  I need a download feature for his little braincase.  :)   (maybe a programming feature too or deprogramming in this situation)  :)
