I'll never cease to be amazed by human superstition

The human brain is an amazing organ, fallible sure, but amazing.

There are no goblins, ghosts nor sky-fairies, but our meat brains just love to conger them up.

Just trolling: It's OK to poke fun at Christians, says ASA

"The fact that trolls can smell Christian blood is well-known"

Umm, which part of that statement is considered true?

1. That Trolls (of the Scandinavian kind) exist

2. That christian blood has a particular smell

3. That god exists

4. That these facts, together, are well known.

Fail on all 4 methinks. With maybe a pass for those who enjoy myths.
