I totally agree with a couple of things you said. One is that fables (like Aesop's) and nursery rhymes are fun and generally harmless as long as they are explained as the children get appropriately older. So, for example, they don't become adults who believe in the very materialistic Santa Claus. (My heritage is well noted for their fables and fairy tales.)

Yes. People, most people, are full of hypocrisies and error, I suppose. And that brings up an objection or two.

Judgmental mindsets arise with some notable assumptions. Putting every person or people with different persuasion into a common basket, for example, results in "othering." All Christians, all Atheists, all white people, all Immigrants, etc, etc, ad nauseum.

It's obvious that you don't give two shits about me, but it would interest me to know what you do give two shits about (but I know that is none of my business).

By the way, you have zero idea, none, about my beliefs, my level of knowledge and experience, but like so many these days judge others harshly.

Also by the way, a lot of people oft times judge me and folks like me and "my religion," for being too judgmental. They really ought to look in a mirror.

Seems to me that there is a hell of a lot of hypocrisy to go around.
