Thus, in my opinion, both the "Because thats the way it is" and "because see, this is how you do things(in my perspective)" are not in any way valid to be told to a child, unless universal concepts and factual answers, not one's perception of a topic.

You're forgetting that a Parent has complete control over what their child should believe in. The concern is finding a true balance between sharing what you want them to follow, and letting them form their own self identity.
