Adults buying presents for their children in the name of some Fantasy character called Santa Claus - who comes down chimney's to give the gifts. "Oh but don't tell the kids he doesn't really exist!" Lol Then men in frocks giving sermons about another fantasy chracter called Jesus Christ - who died on a cross for our sins and wasn't really born on this day that this funny fat geezer with a beard brings prezzies on a sledge pulled by Reindeer and puts em down chimney's! Now think again - are the human race really intelligent? Is lying to Children about some fantasy character - a force for good?   |
Higher intelligences would no doubt understand the concept of 'innocence', higher intelligences on this planet can also embrace this concept. However I really doubt they would understand the concept of a post-innocent that puts himself and other 'innocents' at risk by driving through the lake district under the influence of mind altering substances and publicly boasting about it, because the higher intelligences on this planet can't quite figure it out either!
