All children are born without faith - I wonder where they get it from? Where did there parents, teachers, priests etc get it from?
"gotta think something up" exactly my point! lol
Why do you need god to "keep us going"?
You would laugh at an adult who still believed in Santa wouldn't you? You can believe what you want BUT its the enormous power that religion has over ALL of us that is the problem. Imagine the US government run and implementing laws with a view that Santa is real and in Saudi they counter with a theocracy revolving around the tooth fairy.
Now replace these with what we call god.
Do you see it now?
Power over all of us due to irrational faith with not a shred of evidence. If you want to believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy... fine .. but don't run a world and tell people what to do based on these myths.
Oh that felt good!!! lol
I don't go to mythical places with strange men.
