'And everyone lived happily ever after'
The Bible doesn't promise that....

If you believe a fairy tale/mythology is true and use it to guide you through the journey called life then it can be called "religion" and the associated written works "scripture". Religion and scriptures without belief are the same as every other mythology in mankind's past. Look at the Greek gods. At one time they were "living gods". In time the same will probably happen to the deities we worship. Including our world's most popular Living God.
By the way, I accept the mythology/fairytales of my religion as a piece of the whole.

Nothing really, except fairy tales usually have happy endings and usually teach a moral lesson or a common sense value that has real meaning.

I feel sorry for you infidels who have never heard,
learned and loved the Holy Scriptures and therefore
don't know the difference between them and fairy
tales. Fairy tales will get you nowhere. Scripture and
the One who said them into being will get you every-
where and that means on into eternal life. You still
have time to come to Christ before it's your turn to die.

usually in scirpture, it may talk about the whole world, or country where may not always be a good ending.
and in fairy tales, it's like a dream come true
where there's always a happy ending.

The Old Testament is the true one. Fairy tales are about love and peace. Old testament is about life.

Fairy tales are fables with happy endings and scripture is fables with some happy endings but mostly not.

Well, the obvious one is that hundreds of millions believe in the scriptures as truth,and no one believes in fairy tales as truth.
