Teaching k'fira to our children

My friend and hero MOChassid, a great American, writes:
[Our Oldest Daughter], who is very shtark, is teaching the Baby frum baby tricks, like pointing to the sky when someone asks her, "Where's Hashem?"
Ha! You might as well be teaching the Baby that the universe is a billion years old. Because what you call frum, the Rambam calls heresy.

In the third principle of faith, the Rambam tells us God has no body and no shape and does not partake of any physical actions or qualities. He can't be limited or contained by space and time because He is the creator of space and time. According to the Rambam, anyone who thinks that God has body, or any phycsical attributes (like a location) is a heretic.
