Faith is a good thing. The above doesn't refer to faith, but to
"magical thinking", a quality of small children and those who fail to
grow up.

I like Jodie Foster. She's an incredibly talented actress.
But for instruction in matters as important as the existence
(or not) of God I'm not sure she's your best bet.

Strange that you would assume I was using quotations for instruction.

Here's another that's not at all for that purpose:

god is real - unless declared integer

As to God, consider the difference between it and Santa Claus, The
Tooth Fairy, The Invisible Pink Unicorn, Zeus, Last Thursday's Cat,
The Great Pumpkin, and millions of other mythical beings.

Merry Christmas, Mark.
