Answer 2

"How many more examples must I present to give anyone the idea that man is greater than God."

Why the word god exists then and can you create anything from nothing or can you say to your eye lid to stop blinking or can you live forever or know when will u die and where will u die(if everyone is a god)?
For example give me the strongest man ever "physically strong", can he be stronger than an elephant? the answer is no.
then why and how did the human have control of an elephant?
Simply because of his mind and this would reason which will make a bigger question goes ahead, why do we have minds? is it just to learn more of this life and get some money or life facilities to live and have fun then die at the end or would it be to know the purpose of creation like why do we live here and see how weak we are compared to this enormous creation "everything even ourselves" and meet our creator after spending our life worshiping and loving him. this also would be an answer for the fairy tale question which is not true because no fairy tale give the direction of what to do in life and how to get close to the creator by worshiping him but instead the only thing that is visible in fairy tales is to enjoy life and make you want to be like the hero of this fairy tale.

Answer 3

All religions are real! It is the beliefs of each religion that presents a fairy tale (a hope of a better world now and later). It gets most of us in our earlier years. At one point I could swear it was God urging me on to be zealot. Christianity and Islam are the two largest collections of adults believing in a fairy tale. The Christians on one side believing in a God that is loving  but with a temper and threatening an eternity in a place called h**l. Why would you care how hot it gets in a place where you go when dead. I never realized that one still had feelings after death.  Muslims believe in a God that wants you to kill those that do not believe as they. How anti-social can one be to arrive at a point that God wants you to indiscriminately  kill others. We all know how radical some zealots can become. Mohammad achieved converts for God by giving the choice of death or belief. A little more effective than simply a promise of a h**l. Again fear as a tactic. Fear that there may be a God as they believe in is what keeps both religions pumped up. Religion has always been a better way to keep the populous in it place and part with its money, than law enforcement ever has or will be. If you put one hundred Christian faith teachers in a room separating them from each other, the answers to the same questions would sound like taking statements from the witnesses to an accident. Doing the same to the Muslim faith teachers is how some can teach their followers to believe it is what God wants and will reward them for slaying others simply because they do not believe as they believe. The most important part that most of us miss, is why hasn't just one Christian or Muslim found a way back from the dead to tell the masses all that what we believe is correct. None of us, that are not religious leaders, has been visited by God in over two thousand years. The fact that each religion subconsciously teaches that man is greater than God is hard to overlook.  Man can stand up and say look at me and believe. Has any God ever done this in your lifetime? How many more examples must I present to give anyone the idea that man is greater than God. Belief in a higher power, however you define it, is something that can and has filled volumes for us to read and contemplate. My “religion” changes as I progress in thought. I wonder how long it will be before God appears to all of us and simple says “see and believe”. I can do it, why cannot God? Maybe none of us has an inkling of reality within this universe. Check with me three times a year and I will gladly share with you what I believe at that moment. At no time have I ever received the thought that the God within wanted me to be any other than a friend to my neighbor however why should I need a God to tell me how to get along with my fellow man. My goal in life is to be at peace with myself. I achieved that long ago. Maybe my God helped me find that peace. It sounds good!

Answer 4

if you find an answer of who created everything, you'll realize its not a fairy tale because no one can create himself by himself just like fairy tales that are just fake thoughts of a better life. And there must be a creator of everything that is perfect. And if you consider science for a bit you'll realize its originated from a pre-built system and we are just learning, using and gathering things around to get a new thing like chemistry or mechanics or technology, and no one can create anything in that system from nothing. For example can we create a living cell from nothing or create a fully functional universe like the universe we are in??
So religion is not a fairy tale because fairy tales are just thoughts of a better world and most likely it ends in "Happily ever after" and the world we live in the doesn't necessarily end like this but should end in its creator will.

Answer 5

The 3 major monotheiest religions have at their base the stories told in the so called old testement.
There is no historical or geological evidence for any of the scenarios in this tome
No thousends of Hebrew (Hiberu, the babylonian word for a type of slave) enslaved in Egyt (Good Record keepers), No Israeli empire (not one that anyone of importance noticed anyway0, No hebrew called Joseph serving as the Pharaos grand visiar, No soldiers of god in vast numbers (8 times more than the Roman Empire ever had at its height)invading Caanan. Nothing
So....If that little foundation is untrue..then it must hold that all the religions based on these fairy tales are in error and false. These include Judaism, Islam and Christianity (Dont get me started on the lack of evidence for Jeshua of Nazareth)
Ergo...Religion is a fairytale
