Step back from what? You believe in god?

I can offer the same amount of proof to validate either.

You see, what I am trying to say is that here people have stopped believing in eleves only in the 20th century, or majority of the urban people in the previous two, degree by degree.

I am totally unmoved by religion... not even opposing it like many atheists seem to.

I am not so sure that eleves (god) do not exist.

Strange observation though... many things the eleves used to want us to do have some practical, way of life - purpose.

If the barn elf is satisfied, it'll protect stored wheat from rot. And it wants things like keeping it's dwelling clean and neat. Funny.

Before building one should sleep a night out and let the ground elevs say if they do not want building in that place... not a far cry from feng shui.

Yes, I leave food out on the table at days of celebration. It is also nice bonus to get to wake up every now and then and nibble a bit.

And can you claim to KNOW that the spirit world HAS fully separated from ours? Or that eleves have left theese forests, have you been in them?

Anyways, my point was that in some myth man/spirit/god difference is a line drawn to water if even that moreso then asserting that there is still drips of magic left in the finnish forests.
