Do you remember that moment when you realized that Santa Clause wasn't real? I'm not sure I ever really believed in Santa Clause, but hey, why spoil a great story especially when this mythological Santa was bringing presents?
I think we learn very early the ability to suspend disbelief to enjoy a story. We think that Superman and the Spiderman are cool, but we know that they aren't real. It's just make believe and make believe is fun. Right?
But what do we do and think about that kid who can't differentiate between what is make believe and what is real? What if that person is an adult? Tell the truth, we think the person who says that Peter Parker, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne are friends of his to probably has a screw loose. So why do we take seriously the person who says they have a personal relationship with God?
Did you ever go to Sunday School? Do you remember what you thought when they taught you the stories about Noah and the Ark and Jonah and the Whale? Church was serious, at least the adults seemed to take it that way, but if you're like me you couldn't help, but think these stories were just fairy tales.
Except the adults sure weren't acting like they were fairy tales. No, they were dead serious because it was in the Bible. Still, c'mon, get serious. Living inside a whale? Or a wooden boat that carried two of every animal on the planet? Including the predators like tigers, lions wolves etc.? Yeaaaaa, right.:rolleyes:. But it's in the Bible so questioning the veracity of the tale is unacceptable
My question to all the religious people out there why we should believe something when our brain tells us that it's bs?
