    You never believed in Santa Claus?

    What’s stopping you from believing in him now?

      All the evidence against someone meant to be a physical entity who can forge at times expensive toys and deliver them around the world in a single night? God is not here, he’s not contained by the universe, he’s outside of it by necessity… but Santa is supposed to be here, and neither reality nor reason support his existence. 🤷

        That’s exactly how I feel about your God. Of course, you’ll say it’s different for this reason or that, but Santa is just as nonsensical as God, and is just as contradictory to the other verifiable truths we know about the world.

        If you can’t take my request to believe in an unseen magical man who watches everything you do and rewards those who follow his rules seriously, why do you think that anyone would seriously consider your request to believe in a magical man who watches everything you do and rewards you for following his rules?

          You can feel however you want but you’re comparing apples and oranges. God is not a man, God is not here, God does not deliver gifts to every kid on the planet in a matter of hours, God is the programmer and we’re the Sims but with free will. And whilst some might consider my POV valid, I don’t think I’ve made any requests. It’s better for you, sure, but I’m not pushy nor do I care that much (my peace of mind comes first, I’m not that selfless). It’s sad that the closest thing to God in atheist America is Santa, lol, but it’s still apples and oranges.

            The only difference is that you believe in one of them and not the other.

            I just wanted to give you a little insight on what you sound like when you come in here saying that Christianity was fucked from the beginning, and that the Ten Commandments are flawed, but that they still deserve more credibility than other imaginary sky daddies.

              I didn’t say they were flawed, but I did say Christianity was cooked from the get go (not the message of Jesus). Also, Santa is not a sky daddy, he’s a North Pole one. Peace. ✌️
