That's normal. I, too, dislike lots of things that don't exist. But I also really like a lot of things that don't exist.

jonb - maybe the #$#% pharmaceutical industry has something you can take for that? Or maybe just counseling from Pinocchio?
Or are you afraid of pink elephants? They seemed to bother Dumbo in one part of his dumbo cartoon.

Yeah? Me too.
Well I suppose in truth its not the invented things themselves, although I don't understand why people don't imagine nicer monsters, but the people that think that without these monsters they could not regulate their toiletry functions.

Thank you all for the welcomes, I am a fully house trained antitheist.
Good to know you are potty trained ... I was still reading my Sunday paper ;-)
Yes, people get things stuck in their heads, and act all weird and shit. If you approached this clinically, perhaps you would overcome your fear. You don't seem to need to overcome yourself except for that. Fear is the mind killer ... and a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Interesting, do I fear, because I dislike? No I don't think I am in fear, I know what we are talking about are a set of fantasies and these stories present a morality that I at best I would describe as perverted and thus I dislike them, but does that mean I fear them?
People driven by those perverted moralities can become dangerous it is true, but does that make me fearful?
No I think I am more driven by contempt than fear.
Contempt is worse than fear though. Medieval Japanese guys who are contemptuous of their opponents, end up as sushi.
We all end up as one form of sushi or another.
I think I will be a particularly badly carved unpalatable blowfish.
Welcome to the forum. Mostly a good gang with a few butt heads and one particular loose cannon.

Maybe 'contempt' is too strong a word. There are elements of contempt, but I am still amazed at the depth of the willful blindness and ignorance theists display. They never seem to outgrow their Santa Claus stage.
I wasn't implying that many theists don't display fear or contempt. But there is no educating the willfully stubborn. Ignorance is not too strong a word however ... in regards to many of them.
I very much like things that don't exist. Wolverine. Orcs. Laputa castle in the sky. Wizard magic. Hogwarts. Transformers. Every monster in creepypastas. Wall-e. Wallace and Gromit. Mutant powers. The land of Oz. Naked superheroes who should lighting from their dong.
Welcome btw!

I like to think of myself as a bit of a loose cannon (in that I will even question my own point of view). I think I may recognise a few faces from another place of a few years ago, so I think you are right there are some very nice people here.

It seems to me most of them to be at the stage where they know he does not exist, but will not admit it to their parents incase they don't get the presents.

I can understand you liking those things, and that is an impressive superpower even if it would look odd in a graphic novel when the hero starts fiddling with his flies. But as far as I know fans of those things do not expect everybody to join in communal singing to them once a week.
Thanks for all the welcomes folks!

Believe it or not, we have comic books of just such a hero.

Meh.. I have to determine people's degrees of dipshittedness..Some are just born dipshits, some are trained to be dipshits and some really have to work at being dipshits. Some sort of fade in and out of dipshittedness and a few, very few seem to entirely avoid dipshittedness. The thing is if you survey 10000000000 people 99.99999% will deny dipshittedness and the. 0000001% aren't even aware of the dipshits around them.
What to do, what to do ....

This is one of the best self defeating posts I have ever seen! Lets look at it-
QuoteMeh.. I have to determine people's degrees of dipshittedness.
Why?
Are you are born to do this?
QuoteSome are just born dipshits
Have you been programmed to do this?
Quotesome are trained to be dipshits
Are you in need of money and are paid to do this?
Quoteand some really have to work at being dipshits
QuoteSome sort of fade in and out of dipshittedness and a few, very few seem to entirely avoid dipshittedness.
If you have to examine dipshittedness, then by definition you are not avoiding it then are you?
QuoteThe thing is if you survey 10000000000 people 99.99999% will deny dipshittedness and the. 0000001% aren't even aware of the dipshits around them.
Which leaves the question are you of the 99.99999% and will deny your dipshittedness or the . 0000001% who do not recognise it around them or more pointedly in themselves?
