Comment on Is it bad if I'm 31 and I feel genuinely sad and empty that a mythical creature isn't real?

No. In fact, I encourage you to believe into mythical creatures more. Hell, I do, I believe in the phoenix.
If there's going to be millions on the planet who believe in invisible deities and not prove them to exist, fuck it, I'm going to believe in mythical creatures.

I don’t generally think encouraging people to live in fantasies is a good idea. I understand your viewpoint on religion being a fantasy, but unfortunately there is a difference between religion and believing centaurs are real.

Well see that's where you're wrong right there and know it.
There is virtually no difference. We don't know if there is for certain, without a doubt, that there is a God if which we will ever see after we die or anything the scriptures and bible itself tells true. Millions to billions of people have died over this, most of which was slaughter and we aren't anywhere closer to the truth, if there is any.
How many people can you account have killed or done things in the name of mythical creatures? Not many and there isn't a reason to and people to an extent, may acknowledge that there might not be a mythical creature but why not believe in it. While those who're religious, continue living in denial, making radio and TV stations about it, letting their beliefs even dictate the course of law and justice to country while just not admitting that it could be the same grounds.
Done with you.
