Still so ignorant as to even give credence to such drivel as myths and fairy tales? How about some good old, force fed, truth, for a change? Educate people. Teach them that the world is not flat. Teach them that dinosaurs really did exist. Teach them that our planet is actually over 4.5 billion years old. Teach them that spooks do not live in the sky. Teach them that trolls with pitchforks aren't real. And above all else, teach them that organized religion (any and all) is the most vile, hateful, intolerant, and exclusionary, cult that ever existed. And teach them that paying money to a snake oil salesman will not make a bit of difference as to what will become of them when they die. Education is the key that unlocks the door to happiness in life.
