Humans intuitively know about God in the same way chickens instinctively know how to peck. It's part of our nature. That's why atheism is intellectually an unnatural act... If your children lacked the imagination to have invisible friends, that’s too bad.

Oh, good grief! This is hysTERical! He actually manages to acknowledge that God is imaginary, yet he STILL fails to recognize his own conclusion! This is truly an incredible case of doublethink.
Most chidren never NEED imaginary friends because they have some real ones. And intellectual people don't either.
Imagination is one thing, one of mankinds better traits, but it can lead to stupid things if reality is not a governing factor
"Humans intuitively know about God in the same way chickens instinctively know how to peck."
Praying humans compared to pecking chickens. Daddy like.
"If your children lacked the imagination to have invisible friends, that’s too bad."
What if your children retain their invisible friends when they grow up? Does this mean their invisible friends were real, or simply that your children never really did grow up. David Berkowitz was imprisoned for six consecutive life sentences for devoutly following the commands of an invisible friend.
Keep pecking, chicken little.
Hm. I was always told I had an active imagination.
But I never had an imaginary friend.
Of course, when one has a close friend in a younger brother, one doesn't need to invent playmates.
I had inisible friends when I was a kid. I did not listen when they said chopping a kitten up with a cleaver would be fun, I did not listen when they suggested pushing Timmie in front of a train would be so cool, and so on. As I grew up they went away.
The sad thing is Christians listen when their invisible friend tells them to do bad things.
