Very Good question Al,
the simple answer is that you are entitled to believe in them if you so choose, but remember that many faith systems are backed up by stories that are written by people.
You should always take these stories with a grain of salt. In many of these stories the author may not have meant you to take the story literally but were just trying to give examples to guide peoples actions.
For example:
Brush your teeth because the Tooth Fairy gives you diddly squat for rotten teeth!
If you don't do what your mum says and carry food through wolf infested forests you live with the consequences!
You should regularly re-examine your faith, question everything and occasionally turn a blind eye to certain inconsistencies where appropriate.
Cheers!
