People believe in the easter bunny and Santa Claus, as children, then grow out of it. But they still hang on to beliefs in virgin births, parting seas, guys coming back from the dead, angels, sky gods, heaven and hell, the power of prayer. And they're willing to kill and die for this stuff too! Wild! Imagine if an atheist tried to run for a national office...could you imagine the attacks s/he would face, the threats, the rantings and ravings all day on talk radio? It's sad...we've got such a long way to go before religion is placed in the category of pleasant little tales like the tooth fairy.
