Are you saying you wouldn’t mock those who believe in the Tooth Fairy? Does it mean you don’t understand the Tooth Fairy if you mock it?When we mock/ misrepresent that which we don't understand, it has the appearance of sophistication, it might even elicit a standing ovation but what it does in the psych is insidiously poison.
Maybe you’re right. We shouldn’t mock people who believe in God or the Tooth Fairy. We should instead treat it as an illness and have some compassion for these people. We just need to realize that some of us are intellectually bankrupt and there’s nothing that can be done about it.
