I dont understand how some people would still believe in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, our planet being created in 6 days, a man being resurrected after he is dead, or how a single ship can load all the planets and animals found on earth today?
Do you think stupid people should be criminals?

why? because they don't conform to your ideas or ideals? pa-leeze. that's all not stupidity, its a form of practice of religion. You must believe in something , no?
Whats a matta? someone knock out your molar and all you got was this t-shirt? C'mon. Santa Claus? The tooth fairy? Children today have to deal with reality waaaaaaaaaaaay too early, no? Lets let them have their fantasy and grow up the way children should. As far as condemning someone's religion, again I say, you must believe in something, no?
There are many explanations for miracles, and I;m sorry you don't believe in them...any of them....

for one thing, believing in Santa Claus and the tooth fairyis not stupid.. then are little kids stupid?
and for the rest of your examples, it's called RELIGION it's what they believe in, and no offense to you, a lot of people are very religious.
and no. i don't think stupidity should be a crime.
"stupid" people who don't know that they are stupid should maybe be criminals, but not many stupid people create much harm to many other people (only themselves)
~*~ i'm not a religious person but i respect the religions of other people.

First, if stupidity was a crime where would we ALL be put and Who would put us there.
Everyone of us has done or said a stupid thing at least once in their lives and it's called human nature. When it happens to most of us we laugh it off, and laughing should never be a crime eh?
The other side you are referring to with the fanasty stories etc. You mean to tell me you don't believe in Santa? He would be hoorified.

no.. only because people confuse being stupid with being uneducated. Some people still believe in santa, the toothfairy and everything else because eather they are uneducated or it's just their beliefs.. and you should respect that, not make fun of it and call it stupidity.

stupidity is a mind state, crime is an action.

Only if you're the first to be hauled away.
But if not, then no. Prisons are crowded enough as is.
