Tooth Fairy Bullshit
RE: Tooth Fairy Bullshit
Yeah the point is never to be offensive. The point is to get the truth out there however offensive it happens to be.

And often people just pay more attention when you say something that offends them. Either way it's still true and the truth shouldn't be offensive.

The truth is not offensive.

You're basically saying I can't say one time how I feel about something bc it will make ppl not want to say them anymore. Tooth fairy comparisons run rampant on this forum. I've never said a word. This is the first time that I'm like "yeah, it is insulting, here's why." I really don't see why anyone would object to me voicing that.
I can see you are taking this in a way I had not intended.

My apologies for the misunderstanding.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

If Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, had a bad day he'd likely smash the tooth fairy's teeth out with his mighty hammer. So there's absolutely no comparison between God and the Tooth Fairy. And when I was a little kid offering the Tooth Fairy my baby teeth she never came around to visit. I pray that Thor pays that stingy BS fairy a visit soon!

Nah, I'd compare Thor to something more like a Tooth Satyr.  Big Grin

Nice comparison. He's definitely a bit of a lustful, drunken woodland god, and he also rides around in a chariot drawn by goats. Smile

Jesus is Santa!  Have you ever seen both at the same time!   (too soon?)  lol!

No, no, no.  Satan is Santa.  They both wear red and you never see them at the same time.  Coincidence?  I think not!

The truth is not offensive.

And people  should never take the truth as offensive, but when you have people who don't really care about the truth, who believe things for entirely emotional reasons and take those emotional beliefs and make them part of their own self-image, anyone who exposes those beliefs as either entirely emotional or rationally questionable, hurts the feelings of the people who are totally invested in these things being true.  it's just like people who are fanatical about sports teams. If you say anything about their team that they don't like, regardless of whether or not it's true, and they're going to get offended and throw a punch.

So, how much less nonexistent is the tooth fairy compared to Thor ?

Baneemy ?

Hera ?

Jesus ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
