I agree.  People stop believing in Santa Claus when they are kids, but keep on believing in god.\n\nGod is a lot like Santa Claus.  He takes all the credit for the good things people do (like parent who buy the child's presents) and never gets the blame for the bad things.

I believe in Santa - Because of the spirit of giving and spreading joy to people. So, in a sense- there is a part of santa in people.

If you're going to believe in God it has to come about from your own experiences. It has to be based in your own faith and trust. Im at the point where I think there is a spirit world but not necassarily a higher power, but sometimes I go back to thinking there is a higher power but not necessarily the conventional god. I think hes probably a sarcastic bastard if hes up there.

i think Santa clause is the biggest load of lies but if the children love him he should stick around as long as possible you cant beat the looks on their faces when they see what"Santa" left them

I know that Santa is real because the Easter Bunny told me so.

There is no "actual" proof of there really being a god. People are just so fixated on "god" that people in turn believe that he and/or she is real.

God Himself is watching your every move, your every thought ,word & deed.  \n\nBetter believe it cause it's real & you'll find out someday.  I never for one second have disbelieved it.   never will.

I don't think God is real, I know God is real because I had what they now call a Near-Death Experience (N.D.E.) at the age of 12 in 1972 that convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt.  Since then, due to spiritual study and practice, I've had numerous Out-of-Body Experiences (O.B.E.s) in which I've actually been conscious of my spirit leaving my physical body.  I have a B.S. degree Magna Cum Laude, was a member of Outstanding College Students of America, a College-Bowl All Star (like "Jeopardy" except for college students), and was a professional journalist for many years.  Don't believe some of the misguided and egotistical scientists and college professors who believe and teach that this physical/material life is the proverbial "whole ball of wax," because to put it bluntly, "It ain't!"  God (The Divine, Source, etc.) does exist, and you are an immortal spiritual being having a temporary physical learning experience on the Earth.

Used to work for a charity that regularly sent kids to Lapland.  \n\nHaving regularly had to deal with the elves in his press office, I can assure any children reading this that Santa is very definitely real.

I can see your point. Indeed, most agnostics should admit that, ultimately, they are atheists.\n\nIf there is some agnostic around who doesn't agree on this, please explain us why you define yourself agnostic about God but not about Santa Claus.\n\nThe same goes for all the infinite things that you don't believe but cannot disprove ("right now there is a bottle of tequila orbiting around Pluto", "there must be an unicorn somewhere on Earth", "the person who is writing this (Flavio) is an intelligent computer", etc.)

All Myths have a basis in fact. So although we teach children about a mythical person known as Santa Claus, he was in fact a real person. \n\nSaint Nickilaus (Santa Claus) was a Bishop in the Roman Catholic Church during the 16th century. He was known for leaving small gifts for children during the Christmas Celebration. He would ask the childrens parents during the year whether they were good children or bad children. \n\nHanging of stockings from a fireplace had it's origins at the same time as Saint Nick. Children would put thier shoes on the front porch and Bishop Nickilaus would but the gifts or coal in thier shoes. \n\nSo you see when we are talking about Santa Klaus to children, we are not really lying to them. We are teaching them that it is ok to believe.
