Fairy Tales

-
If I found out that my investment advisor really believed and had faith in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus myths I would think of him as delusional. If he believes in these myths, I would imagine that Alice In Wonderland, Bilbo Baggins, and Mr. Toad would not be very far behind.

These are delightful stories that help teach valuable ethical concepts. But they sure are not real.

The same applies to believing that a woman can get pregnant and have a baby while still a virgin. Or turning water into wine, walking on water, or coming back to life after your dead body has had three days to putrefy. Christianity (like most organized religions) is founded on fairy tales and stories of miracles.

The Bible is full of delightful tales that help teach us and our children valuable ethical concepts. But these fictional stories sure are not real. In my view anyone who thinks these fairy tales are real is of doubtful intellectual stature. You sure wouldn’t want this type of person to be in a position of authority and leadership.
