Sure, you go hug that imaginary friend. But, don't expect him to really do anything for you. I have many fairy-tale books, and I love them all. Even though they built up my expectations of what love was like unrealistically. Check this out........
How else are we to explain the fact that all human cultures - no matter how isolated - have maintained a belief in some form of a spiritual/transcendental reality, in a god or gods, a soul, as well as an afterlife? How else are we to explain the fact that every human culture has built houses of worship through which to pray to such unseen forces? Or that every known culture has buried (or at least disposed of) its dead with a rite that anticipates sending the deceased person's "spiritual" component, or what we call a soul, onward to some next plane, or what we call an afterlife? Wouldn't the universality with which such perceptions and behaviors are exhibited among our species suggest that we might be "hard-wired" this way? How about the fact that every known culture has related undergoing what we refer to as spiritual experiences? Perhaps we are "hard-wired" to experience such sentiments as well. Just as all honeybees are compelled to construct hexagonally shaped hives, perhaps humans are compelled to perceive a spiritual reality...as a reflex, an instinct.
Essentially, what I'm suggesting is that humans are innately "hard-wired" to perceive a spiritual reality. We are "hard-wired" to believe in forces that transcend the limitations of this, our physical reality. Most controversial of all, if what I'm suggesting is true, it would imply that God is not necessarily something that exists "out there," beyond and independent of us, but rather as the product of an inherited perception, the manifestation of an evolutionary adaptation that exists within the human brain. And why would our species have evolved such a seemingly abstract trait? -In order to enable us to deal with our species' unique and otherwise debilitating awareness of death.

Haha see, that was a good try Kenny. I'm constantly baffled as to why religious people somehow found the bible, but don't worship Hanzel & Gretel or something. Goldilocks and jesus are basically the same kinda people - totally fictional. But anyways, it's impossible to argue with some religious people. Why?, you ask? Well, because for them, gravity is proof that god exists. I mean, how can you argue with roundabout logic like that? Also, apparently, witnesses that have been dead for thousands of years are good sources of evidence. And if the fairy tale in question (the bible in this case) says that the main character was tortured and resurrected, then hell, he definetly has to be real.

Since there is historical confirmation that J.C. existed then He is not an imaginary friend. The Bible itself is a collection of Holy Scripture that is the cornerstone of the Church, but not the only source that verifies Christ's existence.

Only if your Imaginary Friend told you what to write in the Book of Fairy Tales. That's the only way I'll accept it.

How many people were involved in writing your Tales? Over how long a period of time? Were they able to communicate with each other? Could the earlier ones predict what would happen in the later Tales? Were the things that happened impossible to choreograph in advance?

I cannot.
If his existence is written in a book of fairy tales, then it must be so!
After all, one cannot disprove a negative. So, it must be a positive!
Wow this religious logic stuff really is amazing! No thought, no reason just a "stick to your guns" attitude and a pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face.
Marvellous!

Fairy Tales is your life, that today you are, and tomorrow you wont be, same as everyone else. But the word of God is no fairy tales is a continue truth for eternity.

Take a good hard look at the human brain, and somehow try to rationalize that it was DESIGNED by accident. Its interesting that when you watch evolution based animal shows on TV they say things like,"the zebras hind legs were DESIGNED to do this or that." A design demands a creator.

Ask him if his imaginary friend ever came back from the dead and showed himself to over 500 witness to prove that he was still alive. And oh! Ask him if those witness were willing to be tortured to death rather than recant their story that they saw their friend resurrected from the grave. After all, a liar would recant his story to save his own skin, now wouldn't he?
