I find this fascinating. It made me wonder where the concept of the Tooth Fairy originated. It turns out that it quite possibly could have been over 1,000 years ago from the Norse tradition of using children's teeth as good luck symbols especially in battle. Instead of just taking them, they paid for them in a fun way. I imagine there were some entrepreneurial Norse who made a tidy sum on the molar market.

Having been raised in a churched family whose Christian faith could not, and would not, promote Santa Claus, and were taught to recognize the mythical fairy tale character, ol' Saint Nicholas, as the furthest thing from a saint, long before grade school, I understand this sentiment fully. As little kids, we all knew where our gifts came from, as well as who actually put the money under our pillows when we would lose a tooth. And our poor Mom had better not forget, or we'd give her hell the next morning! Having been raised in a faith that was narrow and exclusive in its doctrines, as opposed to being inclusive, made it all the more easier for me to eventually reject the last god standing.

And in OUR Roman Catholic HELL hole...we ate BAKED HAM for Christmas dinner...because...what better way to celebrate the birth of a Jewish Messiah than eating PIG FLESH...

If you eat the cracker, drink the wine and it transubstantiates into flesh and blood... you’re just a catholic!

Sure sounds like QAnon MAGA death cult members trying to be main stream legitimate!!!

I wouldn't deprive young kids the adventure of believing in fairies. As a child I would sneak a book under the covers at night and when I was put to bed and told to go to sleep I would enter my adventure land and read all about fairies. I turned out all right: sane, thinker, with a creative, artistic mind, and I'm here in this site.

Yikes whack job

That is true. Parents tell us to outgrow these beliefs yet we go with them every Sunday to talk to their imaginary friend. Honestly that is pretty funny

Tell them the tooth fairy looks like this and they will throw their teeth far away.

A bribe to get children to allow adults access so we can keep them healthy is far more useful than a god. That’s all the tooth fairy is, a bribe. God however is adult authority over adults and the most manipulative shit in the universe.

Their god is no different than the Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus but they cannot see this. If I point out to any of them that their "one true god" is believed by every religion they do not see this either.

I don't know, I saw "Tooth Fairy" and the Rock wasn't very little or very cute.

That's a stretch. Comparing the tooth fairy to religion. I mean that's stretch Armstrong stuff

Oddly enough, whenever I equate their god to the tooth fairy, they get really offended.
Go figure.
