ocwo92 discovered 10 months ago- Imagine you know someone that believes in Santa. Kind of silly, but probably harmless, right? Think again: a person's belief says something about that person, and the belief in Santa might tell a grim tale. Then imagine you know someone that believes in some other metaphysical being that has some of Santa's features. You may never like or trust that person again.

- Believing in Santa is the same concept as believing in any other mythological being... Maybe Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and all those other mythological creatures serve to cause children to cling desperately and unyieldingly to the one fairy tale they have left: God.

- I agree absolutely. And, yes! Everyone that believes in a god is, ultimately, stupid. (And the comments of the people who have thumbed that down are pretty stupid, too)

- Well written! Believing in magic is the same for all magic.

- mysticalspork: not all decent behaviour is motivated by cynicism. And it makes a world of difference.

- "You realize that his nice behavior is motivated by an egoistic desire for the gift of Santa..." As opposed to what? The egoistic desire for the gift of god? The egoistic desire to be seen by peers as a "good" person? The egoistic desire to mollify one's conscience? It's all selfish, and it's all inevitable. What difference does it make?

- I've always found surprising the numbers of individuals who consider themselves at least nominally christian, yet still cultivate a belief in Santa Claus in their children. I mean, I would think any halfway intelligent kid, upon learning there is no Santa Claus, would question the existence of a God.
