Title: Why not Santa?
Post by: nikkixsugar on December 07, 2008, 10:11:39 PM
Why do Christians believe in god but not Santa? Just like the kids in 1st grade who say "There IS a Santa! I saw him! I really did!" The Xtians say "There is a god! He came to me in a dream! Prayer! OMG!" This brings up a less holiday-related question. Why Jesus? Why not Shiva or Thor, etc.


Hate to tell you but.....

Aw, give em a break, nikki. They really do believe in god, so ridiculing them like this is just gonna piss them off. Personally, I'm fine with whatever they want to believe, so long as they don't ridicule my beliefs or treat me like I'm less than human.

Rationalists are less than human. We came from monkeys remember?!
