Santa and the toothy fairy need to be taught or instilled in children before they believe it, teleological perception don’t. They’re the default perception, like the sun they see, as out there.
Children, toddlers, just like all of us perceive an objectiveness to good and bad, the underlying nature of that perception is no different for the child than it’s for us.
You’re not dismissing the objectiveness, your just performing mental gymnastics to reformulate into a schema that has little to no resemblance to what’s actually being perceived.
If anything the fairytale believers here seems to be folks like yourself, that attempt to negate our default perceptions, and imagine they created a new objectiveness in its place, rather than a phony and incoherent dress they try to put on top of it.
A 3 month old baby less foolish than you.
A bullshit assertion. If your claim was true, there would be no need for Sunday "school".
