  • How old were you when you stopped believing?

    When I was a child, my parents taught me plenty of silly things were real. "If you put that tooth under your pillow, the Tooth Fairy will give you a shiny quarter!"

    I thought that was rather disgusting, and asked what sort of fairy collected human teeth. In my little mind, I pictured a horrifying creature, a limp-wristed sodomite wearing necklaces made of children's teeth, torn from the jaws of the boys and girls he'd mercilessly raped, all for a quarter.

    Determined not to prostitute myself, I instead flushed all my teeth down the toilet.

    As they came out, of course, not all at once.

    Just the same, the first time I lost a tooth and told my parents, a quarter appeared under my pillow. I knew that Fairy had been there, and was just waiting for the invitation presented by a tooth, so he could penetrate my prepubescent posterior!

    Horrified, I gave the quarter to the church that Sunday. From then on, I never told a soul when I lost a tooth.

    Years later, I realized just how silly this all was. I'd been terrified of nothing! There was no Tooth Fairy.

    We all have believed in silly things, but some fantasies linger longer than others. Many adults even refuse to let go of certain myths, believing them real long after the age at which such credulity is reasonable.

    So I ask: How old were you when you realized there is no such country as Belgium?

    As a dentist in training, I can relate. When some of the younger children come into the clinic for a tooth extraction, they'll get very excited about what the Tooth Fairy will bring. So I tell them the truth about fairies, that the only thing that fairies bring is a slow, painful death by AIDS leading to eternal torment in Hell. That pretty quickly weans them off the Tooth Fairy nonsense.

      Wonderful, Brother! It's great that you're working to dispel ridiculous superstitious and mythical beliefs in children.

      But when did you stop believing in Belgium?

        For a moment, I thought this would actually be a thread about the Tooth Fairy and Santa.

              The point of the thread is to ask how old people were when they stopped believing in Belgium. So you were always an aBelgican?

                All Europeans are basically the same these days, so I never gave any thought at all to whether Belgium is real or just a made up country like San Marino, Andorra, Monaco, Leichtenstein, and Slovakia are. It's just a bunch of homos and commies wherever you go over there.

                  Europistan is chock full of foreigners, from what I hear. It must be the socialist handouts that attract them. And their licentious policies when it comes to anal sex.

                  I think the Europistanis invented Belgium as a sort of fake seizure diversion to distract the rest of the world from the abominations of Vatican City, which is also, incidentally, in Europistan. While the world is figuring out where Belgium is, the Catholics are raping all of the little blonde Swedish boys they want, and smearing semen all over their chests. I'm sure it is revolting to watch.

                    and not forgetting the world epicentre of satanic micro-states

                    It is a blessing that, even under the demonic influence of Romish euro-paganism, England stands aloof. A tribute to Kings Henry, James & our Virginian Queen, Elizabeth.

                      My father was stationed in the UK during the War as a Pastor with the USAF. When it was over, the school I had to attend said it would take all us students to Belgium.

                      Well we arrived in Calais and drove northeast. At the "border" both sets of customs officers spoke French! So I was suspicious from the start. Then I saw signs to a place called Liège... Ha! (see that accent!) A few miles later, we end up in a place in Holland called Luik and we were told that "This is Belgium."!!!

                        I never did believe in Belgium. Even when the teacher talked about it in school I always tuned them out. Belgium doesn't exist... does it?
                        Ezekiel 36:26- A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

                          So am I Rev. M! I have heard that prostitutes are mistresses of illusion and that - whatever you think they're doing - they're always doing something else. Without Jesus they have no reason not to, I suppose. But when I clicked that link I was horrified: did anyone else notice this?


                          . . . . . .. .. and there's the "inventor" of "cool" sax, Stan Getz

                          No wonder these liberal "cools" have been abandoned by God just as we see He has abandoned the modern Europe founded, as it is, upon myth and superstition. This is no different from the illusions generated by prostitutes and they are particularly fond of the saxophone.
                          REVELATION 17:1,3,7a,8-9
                          1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
                          3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
                          7a And the angel said unto me..
                          8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
                          9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
                          KJV


                          Sites like this one help us to understand why, in her imperfect world, the whore imagines herself to have found perfection and to equate herself with God.

                          "The story goes that one day God announced he wished to play a musical instrument and so he choose the tenor saxophone because to him, it sounded closest to the sound of an angelic voice.
                          An angel nearby hearing God suggested he listen to a Stan Getz recording which God did. After listening to a tune or two God declared that he had decided to shoose another instrument. When the angel asked God why he had changed his mind God paused, smiled broadly, and answered...Because I have heard the voice of perfection."
                          None of which supposedly could have happened without Belgium, Rev. M., and small wonder when the heathen Moor recruits those prostitutes you mentioned and declares he feels the white man's empire crumble in his hands.
