You're the one on the religious bandwagon - and you're right that there's a whole parade of them.

Ask yourself what facts you have. Where did you get them? What reasons do you have for accepting them?
We all have the same facts. The difference is that you choose to ignore the facts that don't fit your beliefs and to augment the facts with fiction.

And perhaps the legend still exists because many people need what I need.
That's exactly it. People need - or think they need - a crutch, so the legend continues. The perceived need does not make the legend true. And the lack of need by some of us calls into question whether the need
you perceive is real. Maybe it's time for you to rise, take up thy bed and walk.
And our geese will blot out the sun.
