You are, kid.

"That's something mom or dad would know"

If it was my own five year old?

"God is a concept or an idea that people use to explain things they don't know, like how the world was made and what happens when we die".

If it was another kid? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Not touching that one with a 10 foot pole.

I think I'd answer a question with a question, "why do you say 'who'?"

That said, my five year old nephew is nowhere near the mental age capable of grasping something that complex. It doesn't help that his parents are evil heathen anti-religious atheists.

I would most likely tell any kid to go ask their own parents. That's what I do with every sticky question.

"We don't really know, but I think S/He is the force that led to the creation of everything in our world."

Yeah, believer here.

That feeling you have of being connected to all things and all time.

Or maybe that's just the tequila talking.

(Inappropriate?)
