Would you mind elaborating on why you think it's crazy?
Because itβs adults believing in made up fantasy shit?
One could as well argue that it's crazy to just "wake up" in some place, having no clue about where we come from and where we go. Constructing some "made up fantasy shit" might be a way to cope with that void.
If it's not your way that's perfectly fine, but I would still appreciate a respectful discussion.
