Science and religion

It is not on the same level of the tooth fairy. I am not using hyperbole when I say that someone who considers Christianity and the tooth fairy to be on the same evidential status to be a liar.

I consider christianity and the tooth fairy to have the same evidential status.
I honestly do, they are both myths that are believed earnestly by large swathes of people on insufficient, incrrect and hearsay evidence. my youngest son has just learnt that there is no toothfairy.
He worked it out through reason.
Why would a tooth fairy want teeth?
Where would it get all the money?
Why, when he didn't tell us a tooth had fallen out, did he get left with the tooth and no money?
How does the tooth fairy know of teeth coming out?
In the end the evidence swayed him.

But this does not seem to happen with theists, when confronted with the lack of evidence for their god they manage to wriggle it in somewhere.

The tooth fairy, santa, jack frost all have equal standing with yahweh to me.

People who believe just haven't grown up sufficiently.

Honestly I am not lying.

If atheism doesn't entail moral relativism (in a strong form) and moral relativism doesn't entail nihilism, PROVE IT!

Atheism is just the rejection of the idea of god it implies nothing else.

The rejection of a stupid idea is just the rejection of a stupid idea and has no stance other than the rejection of the stupid idea.

You seem to lay lots of different layers onto atheism when all it is is "not Theism"
