i like the one that says something like, "We tell our kids their imaginary friends aren't real but then believe in an invisible man in the sky", or something along those likes.

I've heard this quote thrown around awhile back, and started using it myself because it is sooo accurate and self-explanatory . Always wondered where it came from and now I know! But is it mister or misses anonymous.... Ahh.. The search continues.

I simply "out grew" imaginary friends.

I am old enough to know they are imaginary and I hold the fact that I was told they were real against my parents and everyone else that was so afraid and thought they had to have them. I fell for it all hook, line, and sinker. After much study and agony over not becoming a beloved preacher, I finally found the truth in later life. Gods are imaginary. It's very simple.

The funny thing is many people look at my age and think I have this all backwards. Walter Brennan was said to be checking into ideas of god late in life. He told people he was not getting any younger. W. C. Fields was once found reading the bible and told others he was "checking it out for loopholes." Yes, you might die soon so you need a safety net. I don't get it. Believing something doesn't make it so.

I do know that theists wanted their ideas brought into TV and movies from early on. Maybe we could re-do and old classic and be more accurate. How about "The Sign of the Stake?" Maybe the sign isn't dramatic enough for the religious world. Later on in 1960's TV we could have shows like "Johnny Soko and his Giant Flying Jesus." Johnny would often be on his back and fly with him. Together they would solve world problems and catch the bad guys.

Yes, I know, but it is satire.
