This video got me thinking about the old expression that "no questions are stupid"

First off, I realize of course that this is fiction, and the priest is an actor, nevertheless I cant imagine a real priest doing a much better job answering these questions. Sure, he might tackle the situation better, but I suspect the kids questions would still remain unanswered. The simplest explanation for this is that its not because the questions are bad, immature or irrelevant, its because the superstition they are probing is bad,immature and irrelevant.

This is why religions rely on "faith". in itself a muddy and wishy washy concept, but an effective means to keep the religion muddy and wishy-washy. Faith is like a border, restricting the faithful from ever poking the house of cards. "My house of cards is rock solid, but dont get to close, dont cough or do any sudden moves around it. Rock solid i say."

One of the many reasons I like evidence-based ideas over superstition is because they can actually stand scrutiny and questioning, and there really are no dumb questions.
