Well, now that thread is not only derailed, but has plunged down the embankment and exploded in flames in the river, I thought I would hop on the wreakage.
How does he know what adults think? What an entirely odd question to ask in the light of his statement. Are you doubting that adults believe in things that are not true... that they sometimes consider fantasy to be reality? That christians just might be part of that?
If this is indeed your point here, may I also point out that you believe the very same thing, <b>about other adults</b>. For hundreds of years very serious, well educated adults believed that the Greco/Roman pantheon of gods was absolute reality, to the point of life and death. Would YOU not consider that these adults were living in a fairy tale? And what about today? What do you think of mormons? Do you believe that Smith actually had a meeting with the angel moron (oops, moroni, I keep forgetting)? Or do you think this to be fantasy? Do YOU think mormons are living in a fairly tale?
For sure, all religious beliefs can not be true, so that would mean most are false. We could describe those people as believing in a fantasy. That, perhaps, they need to "wake up".
So to refer to most adults as believing in fairy tales(or wanting to believe in a fairy tale) would be a perfect description of the situation. One that you would agree with, if you didn't happen to be in the particular target of reference.
And another thing... it seems to me that as a teenager, he is owning you when it comes to reasoning, so I would be careful about your statements.
Lastly, as an atheist hunter, you seem to be ill equipped for your expedition. The game you seek are formidable.
