Your narrow beliefs that the Easter Bunny was an invention to sell Easter products and that werewolves were concocted to scare children are even more ridiculous than the sum total of everything on your list. In fact, the Easter bunny is just a symbol of reproduction left over from pagan seasonal celebrations, while werewolves play on the long-standing motif of man's often denied animal urges and instincts. The fact that they have been *used* to sell candy and scare kids occasionally has nothing to do with their original purpose, which was never based on a "reality" in the first place.
But more importantly, you are trying to show the naivety of people who believe in any/all of the items on your list and, in doing so, show even more naivety yourself. And do you know why? Because you have your own beliefs, and you have put them on display quite well here in the comments section.
And all belief, like it or not, is naive.
*edit: Did any of this really sound angry? Or did you just get embarrassed by being compared to people who are naive enough to believe in folk tales? Should I have inserted something like this after each sentence :) ? I don't know if there's a symbol that equates to "laughing and rolling ones eyes", though it would probably come closer to how I read your post. Anyway no hard feelings.
As far as basing your beliefs on "probability", I call bullsh1t. If something is "probable", that means it hasn't been proven - thus, why believe in it? The only thing belief accomplishes is to give people a reason to not question, investigate and consider other possiblities. Which is why you completely miss the importance of myth, btw.
Oh, and we share no beliefs, simply because of the fact that you feel the need to have them, and I don't :)))))
p.s. - Please keep erasing your replies to me and then doing them over again. It clears up all the bad grammar and replaces it with new bad grammar. Plus I like when people find that they can't defend their position anymore so they just give up and try to respond with weak personal attacks towards someone that don't even know. It's a little sadistic of me to laugh at people like you, I know. But we all have our crazy little habits :) Keep the re-do's coming and by all means read my cutter posts, they are absolutely amazing. Feel free to message me all the big words you don't understand and I'll be happy to dumb it down, just for you :)

Your arrogance is ugly, and does nothing but drive people away, your mood swings too will merely self generate themselves by the situations they create. I can't imagine the girls being keen on such a bitter and sour person. You may like to try and get under peoples skins, with no real purpose other than for your own poor ego, MR EMPEROR OF CALI. hahahaha, that says it all doesn't it, complex problem hey? Maybe that's why you cut yourself. oops I thought I was going to be nice, well... couldn't help myself..
Although I will leave you with this.... fix yourself up, it's one thing to ask questions, and state an opionion on things, arrogance and just trying to stir people up isn't cool. Your not that dumb, so why not put it to good use instead of nit picking fights. I hope you don't have this same mentality in real life, cause I can't imagine many sane people wanting to be around that, with the bitterness and everything. Anyways good luck with your personal development and maybe one day you can take off all that black stuff around your heart.

I believe in St. Nick but not Santa... The concept of Santa came from an actual person.
St. Nick was a rich man that helped a poor family anonymously and the story grew from there.
I believe in the message that the story "The boy who cried wolf" teaches. It basically teaches kids not to tell lies. As for the rest I really can't say that I believe in any of it if someday one of them is proven to be real then I will have to accept it but right now that just isn't so. I believe that also. I think stories of good people get changed over time. A good person that does things that other people find extraordinarily generous get changed into that person having super human abilities. I also believe that the "virgin" Mary was just a girl that got pregnant and her husband was willing to go with the "son of the Lord" thing because he didn't want her stoned to death.

the definition of god is very subjective, im a pantheist so in a way I do believe in god...but my god is not some bearded egotistical man in the sky demanding to be worshipped....

elves, and god. I believe in them because they are spiritual figures. I do not believe in satan, only in negative spirits. I do not think I am going to see an elf or god walking around like an animal or person, I think of them as living in a spiritual realm. You'd think I'd believe in unicorns but I don't because there is no elemental or deity attribute that they have. I think of them as a symbol of something real but not as something real--in other words, they are not a personified figure for me. If I believed in unicorns, I'd have to believe in every single animal in the animal kingdom mixed with other animals giving infinite possibilities. perhaps once a unicorn-like animal existed on earth which is now extinct, who knows.

i believe that unicorns COULD have existed. evolution? birth defects? maybe they didn't have magical powers, BUT people who saw them prolly thought that the act of seeing them was magical or good luck cuz they were rare. If dinosaurs existed and if little people exist and conjoined twins exist ... then unicorns are definately not impossible.
i also beleive in god, but i don't think it belongs on this list...
you really don't think that there are such a thing as satan worshipers? google it.

Why does it not belong on the list? They are all stories with purpose, they all have been embelished or changed to suit the needs or wants of the story teller. St Nick is a prime example of the magical abilities we give stories. A story of god, past down so many generations is exempt from this rule somehow?

No, the boy who cried wolf is a parable to teach the effects of lying in a manner even children can understand. Did you think that was a real little boy in the parable?
