Re: Why should God be any more believable than the Tooth Fairy?
How do you explain consciousness? Or the big bang? God is a decent explanation of both of these things. The tooth fairy isn't. I don't think god necessarily exists, and still less do I think that the jewish or christian or muslim versions of god are likely to be true, but to compare god to the tooth fairy is to make a tenuous juxtaposition at best.
Sure, yahweh is clearly man-made, and so is the tooth fairy, but at least if god DID exist, then certain things might make more sense. If the tooth fairy existed, things would make less sense.
