The mind of imagination ...can imagine reality, and see truth. If we are like little children in this way, it is a great beginning ...if only we can match it with a little correct guidance.

Take a child who believes in Santa Claus (but, don't take if too far, as was the case with a parent video-taping his own amusing moments of telling his infant child he was going to take all his Christmas presents) ...and consider how Christmas may be the most exciting day of the year for that child.

If you tell the child that Santa doesn't exist (children are also bright enough to quickly conclude that the presents will no longer exist) ...that child may get quite upset.

I don't know any adults who'd get upset if I said Santa Claus doesn't exist ...but, I know plenty of adults who'd get plenty upset if I say some other things aren't true.

I've already experienced this when I stated that I don't believe in the evolution of man and woman.  Like it is more offensive to deny certain qualified pseudo-scientific theories than it is to say one does not believe God exists.  And I've also offended by denying the far-reaching fears of climate change.  Yet, if I mention that one's future climate depends rather more upon whether than the weather, that is to say, whether they accept Jesus ...now, some adults will get mad at that.

And by getting mad, I gather to say, that is not what Jesus meant by saying we should be like little children.
