The difference is that the amount of available data containing fairies its much smaller. At the same time the the goal of information containing the word fairy is different to those containing the word God.
Hardly, it's the same data set.   Substituting fairies in any sentence with god in it won't qualitatively change the message or it's accuracy.  

Quote:Or

A person writing a fairy tail aspires to the title of fiction writer. The point of such a work is usually entertaiment.
You've either misunderstood fairy tales, or god tales....take your pick.  

Quote:A person who has gone through many years of training in the field of philosophy, thus containing courses in logic for example. Who is trying to express something with the word God in it, aspires to the title of philosopher. The goal of such a work is to teach about moral rules and their implications; strengthen the resolve of the reader to not turn to evil or explain potential threats to the moral life of the reader. Explain the difference between materialistic and idealistic worldviews.
Many aspire to things they never achieve.  God is a useless irrelevance to moral rules or their implications.  

Quote:----------------------
If You find a dog with 3 legs it does not mean that dogs have 3 legs.
Similarly if You find a believer who is guillible it does not mean that believer are all gullible.
----------------------
They're gullible enough to believe in fairies, so?  

Quote:This is more complex.
It really isn't....I understand that you want it to be...but....wish in one hand shit in the other?

A recap here. You insist that your fairy isn't like the other fairies, and that people who tell the other fairy tales are in it for Bad Reasons™. You bristle at the suggestion that you're gullible but at the same time plainly show that you are. You mistakenly believe that god botherers are moral philosophers, and you hope that there's some unspecified complexity that rescues the whole sad mess from irrelevance.

When challenged on any or all of the above, you imagine some global internet conspiracy keeping the truth that you cannot, or will not express from the eyes of your interlocuters. I have a simpler suggestion. This is a delusion of grandeur on every single count.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
