I wonder today why it is that so many millions believe in a being they have named "God", but do not believe in beings such as fairies, elves, unicorns and the like.
I'm really not trying to be disrespectful of people's religious beliefs. I'm huge on coexistence.
I just wonder why some beings with no scientific proof of existence get credence and some don't? I find it fascinating that the mind can so definitely choose to believe in some things and not others.
If there was a bible that had fairies in it, would the masses be more likely to believe in them? After all, angels and fairies don't seem that far removed....is it all in the marketing?
What do you think?

Almost all of us believed whole-heartedly in Santa for the first few years of our lives. Why? Because we were told so by people that we trusted implicitly, and they offered "proof."
Belief is selective, and it's basis is on trust. People trust the people telling them about God. They become part of a community when they believe in God. Faeries don't have quite so much to offer, I'm afraid.

I think upwards of half the world's population does not believe in fairies, let alone cites texts that are thousands of years old as their evidence. But they do believe in a god.
But yeah, I suppose if fairies were in the Bible, many would wonder how they could be discounted.

Fairies do exist. Who told you otherwise?
Your question is backwards: If fairies exist, then why not god?
We do not know why there is no god. It seems to me there should be a god. But shoulding and being are two different things, my child.
You mention also angels. There are no angels. Sorry.
Why there are fairies but not all that other religious stuff, we do not know.

Perhaps the problem is with your concept of God, perhaps the issue is that you perceive god in a manner similar to the fundamentalist as a being off in some far place, so since you are conditioned to the mythology which is and was allegorical, your judgments are just as flawed as the fundamentalist who take figurative things literally.
Science proves "God's" existence in many ways, just not the God of some dead scriptures.

By implying that fairies don't exist, you've just killed one.
