Good Question

Found in the comments here:

I like what Alistair McGrath asked. “If believing in Jesus Christ is the same as believing in the tooth fairy, how many people do you know who started to believe in the tooth fairy in their mid twenties whilst at university?”

Not that it's important, but I love your blog so I will make one correction. The quote, as far as I am aware, goes a little something like this (actually, exactly like this):
"For instance, Dawkins often compares belief in God to an infantile belief in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, saying it is something we should all outgrow. But the analogy is flawed. How many people do you know who started to believe in Santa Claus in adulthood?"
