Yeah, kids are like that. Wasting time to find proof of a fantastic tale is truly juvenile.
No, the only thing juvenile is when rational grown up people believe in talking animals and magic, like children. Kids usually don't ask for proof. They just believe what grownups tell them. But where convincing is in order, it's quote easy to get kids to beileve in Santa (or anythign for that matter) with very little if any proof. A few presentes and a trick with a glass of milk and a cookie is enough to make them believers.
At least the kid have an excuse.
Christian faith is a 'sanctuary' to you? You might want to start all over, again, or just give up.
Yeah, a mental sancutary, imo—an escape, a hope, a wish, a desire, etc.
