Religion translates into mind control and mind control translates into a none productive docile working class who look forward to the after life .
A huge apathetic group who are more concerned about who is doing what with whom and how they can stop them .

Belief in God is a rational approach to explaining the unexplainable. We as a species have believed in a Higher Power of one variety or another for all of our recorded history.
There are now some people who choose to believe that all the unexplainable things that we find in our environment have explanations, like the big bang.
The tooth fairy is a way for parents to celebrate a landmark in their child's life. It rewards the child for growing up, and tells the child that this is something to be celebrated. A magical acknowledgment of this event makes it more special.
A better comparison is between the God that we acknowledge now versus the Sun God, or other natural type Deities of the past.

Perhaps, I am not religious but I also will not bash or tell those that are that their beliefs are meaningless. Just the same as I won't tell a child that there is no tooth fairy. Something to believe in whether fiction or not isn't a bad thing. Its just bad that religion has been used as such a force of tyranny.

The tooth fairy did not leave any other indication that they are real other then when they left a quarter under my pillow....and I kinda think mom did that and not really a tooth fairy....
GOD on the other hand DID leave proof...He left His word for us in the Holy Bible...if you truly study the Holy Bible you will see history...you will see things happening today in it...and you will see things of the future in it....you will see how God ties everything together in the Holy Bible to one who studies the entire bible...and you will come to realize that no man or group of men could possibly write such a book WITHOUT God and tie it all together without a flaw!!...people have throughout history been trying to disprove the bible..but so far they haven't ...and science is proving it more and more as we become more and more advanced in science knowledge...

...Nope. The tooth fairy is phoney baloney.
...Evidence for the existence of God is abundant and varied. Look outside at all creation, and then into a clear night sky, then keep on lying to yourself by saying, "This orderly universe just happened, by mistake, evolution, chance, and natural selection." - And then feel real pity for those who believe this, and pray that God, who created all these wonders, will open their eyes to His truth, that they would trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Belief in God is covered under the US Constitution. Tooth fairies are not. Real people have died because of their belief in God, not so much with the tooth fairy crowd.

They've got children believing in what they want to believe in. Frankly I think it confuses them. What do you expect with the fact that government has taken prayer out of schools? The mere mention of God has become taboo in everyday conversation. The phrase "under God" has been dleted from the pledge of allegiance. it's no wonder the world has been turned upside down, so-to-speak. Yet, Congress has prayer in their sessions. They must think they are special in God's eyes or something. What are we, chopped liver?

No there's much more evidence for the existence of the tooth fairy, as any suddenly prosperous young child will tell you.

People will say their is no proof for God just as their isn't any for the tooth fairy but they are wrong. With all of our scientific advances have we proven with out a shadow of a doubt that their is no God and this is all an accident? No if anything science has brought up more questions, and some of these questions seem to point to God

Depends on your "why" list. I do not have enough "faith" to believe all came from absolute nothing and everything that has order came from total disorder without touch. Hope you don't allow people to make you dis believe what you see, its hard to ignore.

If you do not believe in God, that is your prerogative, but don't question someone else's beliefs. That is just immature and absurd. The proof is if you chose to believe.
