Is this reasonable?

Is it not reasonable to not believe in fairies despite there being no evidence they don't exist?
Take your time. Considering the logic that lead to an answer of "yes", is it too far fetched to substitute "fairies" for "god"? Take your time.  RE: Is this reasonable?

Who said they don't exist?
You are employing the black raven paradox! All the ravens I've seen are black, therefore all ravens are black! wrong! All the fairies near you are invisible, therefore you've come to the false conclusion that all faeries don't exist! Wrong! I don't believe whales exist, because I've never seen one! ever! Is that white stuff called snow even a thing? I think it's just for effects in movies 
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. 
Not reasonable to not believe. Confusing question

It was "reasonable" to believe in fairies up until not so long ago because Christians believe in so called witness testimonies without any physical proof and there were many people who have claimed to have seen them. Christians believed in them so much that they were afraid to utter word "fairies" but called them "good people" instead. One of the beliefs involved was that retarded children were actually fairy children switched in the crib (ever heard of Changeling?), like this medieval painting shows ![[Image: XICIH3XO_o.jpg]](https://images2.imgbox.com/7e/ed/XICIH3XO_o.jpg) Christians don't believe in them anymore so much in Western world because people are more educated in what science can show us in that regard. Belief is more prevalent in Africa where people are less educated. I guess you could say that with passing of time Christians believe in less and less stuff. Although Christians are doing all they can to dumb down people, like this move Ariz. Education Department strikes 'evolution' from science standards draft http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-r...om-science so maybe belief fairies becomes RAD again.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

As a child they are often/were used as a easy to remember tale of warning or cautionary by nature. As an adult the meaning still can be extrapolated and used to keep one from falling into foolish situations. Where fairy tales become ludacris to believe is when they are compared to scientific 'tales' that demand your total allegiance. Therefore one is made or programed to think no 'good' can come from anything besides a 'scientific tale.' |
