If I believed one day Peter Pan was going to return and take us all away back to Neverland where we would all be young again and go on wild adventures with all of our best friends and eat whatever we wanted and stay up as late as we wanted and do fun things like defeating evil pirates and that anyone who didn't believe me was one of Captain Hook’s evil minions trying to trick non-believers into scrubbing the pirate ship deck for all eternity, I would be called insane/deluded/mentally ill.
…but replace Peter Pan with God/Jesus, Neverland with Heaven and Captain Hook with Satan and it is perfectly reasonable.
Like I said...it is mind boggling.
Fairy tales like Peter Pan are popular with children because they create a world in their imaginations where all their fantasies come true. Unfortunately, some children do not grow up.
(coincidently that is what happens to children in Neverland).
[I am not saying fairy tales are bad. Fairy tales are a great way to build a child’s imagination, teach morals, introduce problem solving and critical thinking, face emotional challenges, HAVE FUN etc etc etc]
