Excellent non-dino fairy theory.Susantalk to me 18:04, 24 September 2007 (EDT)
- Thank you. I tried to keep the dinosaurs out of the picture and keep focused on the fairies. --Bob's your uncle 18:09, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

- This is actually a really good article (funny, but still gets its point across very well). Can we nominate it for best of religion/science/something? ThunderkatzHo! 15:34, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

'They're mostly elves now, the cats have eaten all their wings (mmmm, tasty). One or two have grown old & turned into gnomes.

- Oooo. Yes best of.... parody? I'd be so proud. It's mostly my baby.--Bob's your uncle 17:26, 10 October 2007 (EDT)
I believe that a strangely high number of Icelanders believe in fairies or gnomes etc. I will look into it for an article Streona 15:52, 7 January 2008 (EST)
- You mean elves. In fact, I recall reading about honest elf-belief somewhere in Scotland, too, but unfortunately cannot remember any details. --84.151.196.180 (talk) 17:21, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Title
Why is the title plural? I propose moving to "Fairy" tout de suite, or as the French say, toot sweet. human

- I guess I originally made it plural because it refers mostly to "fairies" as a group.--Bobbing up 04:03, 4 March 2008 (EST)
[edit] Sarcasm
I detect sarcasm in this article. Under NOMA this must be removed without hesitation. SusanG 14:17, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

- I think you must not understand NOMA. NOMA says if I says its religious, you can't touch it. Nyah Nyah. :eye roll: --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 14:23, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
- You must be thinking of those other pictures I am thinking about the ones the you know were proven real.... tmtoulouse torment 14:24, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
- To attempt to answer this seriously. I am not aware of any people who seriously hold fairies to be a part of their religion, but if there were, then yes, NOMA would cover it.Tolerance 14:36, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
- I believe on a religious basis that NOMA is wrong. NightFlareSpeak, mortal 14:41, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
- (edit conflict)I'm sure there are some folks out there who believe in fairies. There's a religion for everything. You can worship a plate of spaghetti, if you want. But that doesn't mean you can draw the "here, but no further" line wherever you choose. You seem to have a extremely limiting (and self-serving) concept of NOMA. --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 14:42, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Fairies Do They Really Exist
It is said that for every time someone says that they dont believe in fairies, a fairy somewhare dies. As for me, I ask, as humans, who are we to say that fairies donot exist. The fact is that we ourselves didnot create the univers. The univers is filld with mysteries that no human being can fathem. So how can we sit here and say that another being doesnot exist. As for me, if someone where to ask me if I believe in fairies. my answer would be yes and I am not ashamed of my belief. There are meny things in life that though we may not see how they would be possible are possible. I have heard it said before as a child that some things just are. They dont require an explination. I believe that the evidence of the exiustance of fairies is well prevelent in our surroundings(i.e) nature. Yes there may have been a god who created the uniuverse. But if it is possible for this to happon it is also like wise possible for him to have created beings to help mother nature.

I think it is an issue of wether one chooses to look at life and its mysteries with an open heart and mind or wether they choose to remain closed in their thoughts and trapped in what sociaty would have them to believe. If you approach a situation like this with a closed heart and mind then you will never expierence anything other then what you choose to accept65.255.77.91 (talk) 22:06, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quote mining Richard Dawkins
“”There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden.
|
| —a quote mine, (ie a quote taken out of context) from Richard Dawkins[1] |
Dawkins regularly complains about religious people quote mining him and parodying such a quote mine is great. Still we shouldn't add to the problem by including anything that isn't clearly a quote mine. This is clearly a quote mine if anyone clicks on the link. Still I don't click on more than a few links when I read wiki articles, readers who click on too many links just get too much disconnected information and rarely read anything through to the end. Should we be fair to Richard Dawkins and make the quote mine clear, even to readers from Christian websites who've already read many Dawkins quote mines and don't know what a quote mine is?
- ↑ The full quote is: “There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?”

I say move to Fun: Fairies. It has way too much parody and sarcasm in it.--Seonookim (talk) 02:11, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
[edit] Pixies
I am quite sure pixies are a type of faerie. I assume in the same way a human is a monkey an ape. -- Corpse in the bed (talk) 03:17, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
