I know they're all gods. I only provided that list because you deemed the tooth fairy a bad example because nobody ever believed in it (which is something I would argue as millions of kids believe in the tooth fairy, like adults worldwide believe in god(s)), so I gave a list of gods which are now considered mythical. I thought maybe it was a more appropriate example than the tooth fairy All the examples I gave were once believed in by people as much as god, but are now considered mythical. I think it fits in well with Serious frusting's statement and the criteria you deemed to be acceptable if I just replace the tooth fairy with one of those examples... "Why are people so hung up on religion in these forums. In my opinion anything to do with god is as believable as Thor" Thor is unbelievable, but you said that no-one ever believed in the tooth fairy and that was the reason it wasn't valid. People used to believe in Thor but don't now, so now it keeps SF's original idea, but conforms to your criteria of having to have once been believed in too. Either way, if you want a non god example, how about dragons? People were convinced that dragons existed, but now they're considered mythical. "Why are people so hung up on religion in these forums. In my opinion anything to do with god is as believable as dragons" But to be brutally honest you're just moving the goalposts because both Thor and the tooth fairy are valid examples. |
What are you trying to say? Tooth fairy is a made up character by people. A God or Gods is/are something that people believed ever since they were created. I dont care if people used to believe in something and im not here to argue if their God/Gods are false because they are mythical today. All im saying is that tooth fairy is not anything like a God. So it cant be compared.
