I mean, it's not even that it's an "uncommon" thing, it's not a thing at all! Lol. I mean, have you ever even met a grown adult person who believed in the Tooth Fairy, to know that it's totally possible for someone to hold that belief while being a completely normal member of society? I'm assuming not.
I mean no disrespect, but I think those saying that they would not think anything was very "off" about a grown man/woman in our society believing the tooth fairy exists, are being dishonest for the sake of keeping their argument intact.
Whether it's a thing in our society or not makes no difference to me. I'd treat it with the same level of respect if it was a thing. I'd still respect the person and their right to believe, but I would not feel the need to respect their beliefs.
How's this for you then? I could make up a new religion on the spot today. Yesterday it was not a thing. Would you respect my religion if it became a thing any more than if it was not a thing? Why or why not?
