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.

Baruch

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.

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.
