Doesn't believing in god seem a bit like believing in the tooth fairy or the easter bunny?

Question

I mean, they have the same amoun tof solid proof...

Answer 1

Yes.............. but believing in God makes most people feel less afraid............they can believe """ all will be wonderful in the end ""......... gives them hope that this sick, demented world exists for SOME reason.......... makes them think that all their suffering will be somehow rewarded....... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nice daydream, huh ?

Answer 2

This is the very reason why I taught my children that there is NO EASTER BUNNY or there is NO TOOTH FAIRY and that there is NO SANTA CLAUSE. But there IS A GOD. Parents lie to their children about these things and at the same time tell them God is real. When the child is old enough to discover the truth about the Easter bunny and tooth fairy and Santa they may just question the existence of God also. And you have your proof that God does exist, look around. This earth didn't just come together by itself. It had to have a builder, just as a house needs a builder.

Answer 3

Solid proof? Gosh, where have you been...take a look around you, do you think all of this happened from a 'big bang' in the sky?

Einstein, the most intelligent human known, said that there must have been a Creator.

More and more people are turning to God. Science is admitting that what is in the Bible is being proven to a non-believeing group.

As far as the easter bunny and tooth fairy...I've never known them to create a world, humans, animals, etc.

Let me ask you this, have you ever bothered to try to read the Bible, attend a Bible study or a church? Usually people who ask these types of questions (if it is a question) don't have a clue about any of those things to begin with.

Answer 4

Solid proof? You have no idea about proof.

Proof # 1 for tooth fairy: a figment of the child's imagination, make believe, a way to make money, and get children to fall asleep, duh
AKA-Not Real-your mom and dad

Proof # 2 for Easter bunny: a giant bunny? come on. children believe in the giant bunny, he brings candy, and leaves eggs? right, my basket gets full every easter by.....my parents,
AKA-Not Real-your mom and dad

Proof # 3 FOR GOD: THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, YOU AND ME, YOUR MOM AND DAD. HOW CAN YOU EVEN COMPARE GOD WITH SANTA, THE BUNNY, AND THE FAIRY! IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM IS HE AT ALL THE SAME. GOD LOVES US ALL AND WILL LISTEN TO OUR PRAYER.

YOU KNOW BECAUSE YOU ASKED THIS QUESTION YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE A SLIGHT THOUGHT ABOUT HIM BEING REAL. THAT IS BECAUSE HE IS! GOD MADE YOU ASK THIS QUESTION SO THAT YOU COULD GET ANSWERS FROM GOOD CHRISTIANS LIKE ME! TAKE THE HINT AND CLIMB ON BOARD! HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THE MIRACLES AROUND US? HUH? EXACTLY!

I PRAY THAT GOD FILLS YOU WITH BELIEF AND YOU LEARN TO GIVE YOUR CREATOR YOUR LIFE AND LEARN TO FOLLOW HIS WORD. TRY GOING TO CHURCH AND YOU WILL FEEL THE PROOF THAT YOU NEED. OR ACTUALLY PICK UP THE BIBLE AND READ IT!

May God Bless you....A LOT!
Amen

Answer 5

I don't believe in either the tooth fairy or Easter bunny. I have not seen or experienced any proof on there behalf. They make no sense to me.

God on the other hand, ............ He's our Grand Creator. He's why we are here living in this world. Exercising faith in him through his son, Jesus Christ, is the only way that we can have a chance of everlasting life. Have you ever thought about that? Do you know how happy you could be serving Him? That is basically the only way that can keep us all sane and happy. By acknowledging and drawing closer to God.

Answer 6

I don't recall the tooth fairy or easter bunny performing miracles. If they had then they would have had followers who had seen these miracles. These followers would have been so changed by what they had seen that they refused to stop telling people about it. Even if it cost them their lives. Remember they did not grow up believing in Christ. So their faith cannot be likened to modern day Muslims who are willing to die for their faith. In the case of the 1st century christians something happened to change these people.
Nope tooth fairy and easter bunny didn't have any of that. Jesus did. History recorded by non-christians says that. Why would non-christians do that.

Answer 7

Would it be tough for a painting to believe in a painter? A building, in a builder? A watch, in a watchmaker? If they had sense and reason like the human being, of course not!

God is self evident. Look at the world around you; the sun, moon, stars, trees, grass, ocean, clouds, animals, people, ect. Isn't that dynamic? Where do you think all this came from, thin air?

Also, God gave you a conscience so you would know (innately) the difference between right and wrong. Is it okay to rape? Murder? Lie? Steal? Commit Adultery? No it isn't. You know this because God created you with the knowledge of right and wrong. When you break His commandments, your conscience will accuse you of doing wrong. Humans, by nature are lawbreakers. We came from the loins of Adam, original man, the originaly sinner. Sin is lawlessness. We are lawless beings, deserving of judgment and hell because we've violated God's law. But God has clearly show His love for us in this, which we were yet thieves, murderers, liars, ect., Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried and rose from the dead. Anyone who repents and puts their trust in Jesus Christ will not perish but inherit eternal life. He is no tooth fairy. He is the resurrected Savior. Every man will bow and confess ONE DAY (here and now, or later), that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Answer 8

NO! The easter bunny and tooth fairy have not impacted my life in any way, shape or form.
BUT, God has changed me from the inside out in a way that has impacted the way I behave toward others and my entire view of life.
I AM the PROOF!

Answer 9

Nah, it's more like believing in a pet rock. At least the tooth fairy leaves money and the easter bunny leaves candy and eggs and gifts. And Santa Claus is the best.

Answer 10

well the Easter bunny and tooth fairy are only told to you by your parent just to cheer you up and when you grow up you'll do the same to your children, and just like you you only believe in them while you were little one but god your parent want you to believe in all your life. try looking for it, when you truly find it you know where you belong and you'll realize that there is strong evidence that He exist all around you all the time.

tip
The All Mighty need no one tho help Him,
Nothing to aid Him,
and the most important thing is He must be different from those who He created.
and why because He is the one and The ALLLLLLLLLLL Mighty

Answer 11

i think so. but you have a choice in believing in god...but in the tooth fairy and the easter bunny, you are just raised that way and you are taught that they exsist until you are old enough to know that they really dont. god is something that will always be around as long as there are people in this planet...but in the end, tooth fairies and easter bunnies are things that kids believe in, which makes them non-important. God is something that MILLIONS of people believe in, which makes it REALLY important. so in conclution, god could, to some, be considered as an easter bunny or a tooth fairy, but to some it is just something to hold on to in times of despiration, sadness and happiness also...good day to you
