When you grow up in a demon haunted world one can relax. No gods to satisfy. No demons aka gods to worship. No magic rocks. No magic books. Worship free, as it not worshiping gives the freedom to be alive and free from the gods aka demons who as told in stories and mythology love to smite as if that makes them the good guys magically somehow.
Growing up enables one to make a positive difference in the world without harming anyone and being free from gods and demons. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It's important, growing up by giving up the gods and demons just as important if not more so than giving up other invisible friends that might have kept you company through the dark nights.
Reality is a harsh mistress indeed but the facts of life don't change because one make believes in super beings as if they are somehow magically real. The human capacity for imagination gets us into trouble when we imagine that our stories, our mythologies are magically real somehow. Imagination is a powerful tool for creating one's life, it's important to separate imaging what can happen in reality verses what is fictional fantasies of super heroes as if they are magically real and can violate the laws of the objective reality of nature and whisk you off to a magical afterlife after you no longer exist.
In the darkness now you exist. Being. Sentient and distinct. Action. Get it done. Make a positive difference.
