Do you believe in God?

Maybe that is God's M.O. as well.

And when the kid learns that the whole thing about the tooth fairy was an elaborate lie, wouldn't that tend to suggest the same thing for god as well?

I've always wondered about this. Parents that lied to their kids about things like Santa, tooth fairy, etc. were portrayed as mean growing up (by my parents ). How did any of you feel when you found out there was no tooth fairy?
