[QUOTE="happilycatholic, post: 1972875, member: 698870"] I don't laugh at children when they believe in fantasy. It is part of childhood, and is part of their innocence. As such, it is beautiful. Fantasy is quite different from religion, however. Fantasy transports to a world where magical things happen, and special rewards can be gained for nothing. Religion is acknowledgement that a greater being than ourselves exists, and one capable of creating all that exists. Religion is an acknowledgement of the reality of the spiritual realm - not fantasy realm, but the spiritual realm. Religion is the acceptance of right and wrong, and good and evil, and consequences for our actions, and the need to worship the Creator God, and to love and obey Him, and to love others for His sake, etc. This is quite different from the realm of fantasy, where we just have to be sweet and cute, and leave a tooth under the pillow and a magical person gives us a little gift. When we grow up, we go past fantasy, and start to look at reality. We have to look at our actions and the consequences of wrong actions. [/QUOTE]
