I grew up going to church but I’m not religious now and I never really understood this part.

Please, no answers along the lines of “aha, that’s why Christianity is a sham” or “religions aren’t logical”. I don’t want to debate whether it’s right or wrong, I just want to understand the logic and reasoning that Christians use to explain this.

I’m not the commenter but it seems fairly obvious what they’re saying.

The child doesn’t know that touching the hot stove will burn them, but you do because you have a lifetime of experience.

To add to this: To the child, it’s essentially magic that you know exactly where the heat starts, and how you have the ability to boil water.

If you’re saying it in a light-hearted ‘lol kids are chaos’ way then yeah.
