I repeat: if someone is claiming the monster is real, and I want to discuss it with him, I will give reasons why I believe what I believe.
All good for a tea party. Philosophically, not so much. Maybe try off topic thread or facebook. On an atheist forum philosophy thread I assume people want to discuss facts and proofs not their personal beliefs.
I could be wrong though, maybe fantasies and beliefs do have their space in philosophy. I'm not an expert.
