How do you cope with the fact that most people believe in magic, fairy tales, mystical creatures(e.g.God) and so on?
How do you explain it?
How do you think this belief in the supernatural affects the world, other than the obvious violence and divisiveness, aversion to science and rationality that it so often spawns? Do you think belief in a deity or in other such fantasies defines a person's mindset beyond these superficial qualities it inspires in some people of faith?
Do you think there will ever come a time when it's not considered normal, or sane for that matter, for a person to hold such beliefs and how and when would you say that could happen, if you do?
How I came to make this thread.
