Ummmmm....so where is that testimony from those twelve men?
Can you prove their testiment isn't fraudulent documentation made up by somebody else?
Can you produce statements signed by witnesses to the effect that those twelve men's testimony was real?
And can you produce the signatures of the witnesses who witnessed those witnesses signing their statements?
'cause other wise it's just an ancient, unproven folklore.
Just like your god is an unproven delusion until absolute proof of that god's existence is provided.

There is a process-- The burden of proof is on he who alleges/accuses. But to humour you, there are also witnesses outside of those who believe: Tacitus, Josephus, Lucius of Samosata, Pliny the Younger...etc.
Educate yourself, you ignorant oaf.

Even if that were so, who says there is no value in that? Albert Einstein was once asked, how we could make our children intelligent. "If you want to make your children intelligent", he said "Read them fairy tales; If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales." ...Kinda telling about your opinion, isn't it?

I like fairy tales. Grimms fairy tales are the best. There have been quite serious studies done on the place of enchantment in children's literature. This one is a classic:

I like fairy tales too.
Such as the fairy-tale legends behind the likes of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen (which has a religious bent too, in the form of gods).
Another relgious fairy-tale is contained in a book called The Bible.
Yet another religious fairy-tale is contained in a book called The Koran.
However, intelligent human beings (as opposed to dumb, gullible humans) KNOW those gods featuring in Der Ring des Nibelungen, The Bible and The Koran are part of fairy-tales.

If the Bible is just a book of fairy tales, then why is it banned in at least 52 Countries? No one goes to Jail for reading the Illiad, the Odyssey, or Aesop's fables.

Oh I dunno Occam! Personally I've always wanted Hansel and Gretel banned because of its hate speech regarding stepmothers, and what Little Red Riding Hood has to say about cross dressing and the so-called rights of apex predators marginalized and persecuted by prevalent social paradigms, and all because of their lifestyle choices, is downright subversive!

There's another ailment of society... People get offended too easily.

Not forgetting the subliminal homosexual themes in Noddy and Big Ears that caused Concerned Parents to have the Noddy books removed from school library shelves ...

And remember the whole fiasco Jerry Falwell had with Tinky-Winky from Teletubbies?

Where would we be without the gimlet-eyed morals warriors to keep our children safe. Problem is that in too many cases the very people our kids needed protection from were the gimlet-eyed morals warriors!
