Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny

[Keith Broaders]

Children are taught that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny aare real. They are taught about the Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears and about Little Red Ridinghood. As the children get older they come to realize that these charactors and their stories were fictional.

The Old Testament storiess of Adam and Eve,  Abraham, Isaac and Jacob along with Noah, Moses, David and Golaith are be;ieved to be historical charactors  but their is little historical evidence that they ever existed.

Faith is a firm beleif or trust in or a person, a thing or a comcept  without proof or evidence to support their conviction.

To determine the truth a person needs ask questions and search for evidence to support their hypothesis.

Religious leaders discourage questioning the Biblical charactors and events and encourage their followers to  rely on their feelings.
