(February 16, 2016 at 1:38 am)Jenny A Wrote: I remember wondering sometime around five how adults could believe the stories in the Bible.  I didn't know the word atheist or even agnostic for some time after that though.  Unbeliever is the word I used in the privacy of my mind.

My daughter figured out Santa Claus at about three and promptly disillusioned her five year old sister,

Ahh...Santa is too much fun to not believe in at three! ;P

Anyway, I like the point you made about how adults could believe in the bible stories.  I remember back as a kid my reasoning for why I thought the bible was true was because adults believed in them.  

Of course now, I see some kids at 8 with more maturity than adults at 80.  Man, the human species is f*cked up.
