Santa Claus is still responsible for the origins of things (presents) that are very important to the people who believe in him (children), just as God is responsible for the origins of bigger things, in your opinion. Same kind of thing, albeit of different degree.<BR/><BR/>3. Yes, if God exists, God would not not exist. And, if God does not exist, God would not exist. This is a tautology, and a contingent tautology at that. So on this critera, God and Santa Claus are equal.<BR/><BR/>4. Nonsense. You can't disprove the notion that Santa is just hiding really really well up there on the North Pole. Again, no points for God on that one.<BR/><BR/>5. Tell that to a group of children, some of whom believe and others who don't believe. No points for God there.<BR/><BR/>6. So all children are stupid?<BR/><BR/>7. Again, what about the children who rationalize the existence of Santa Claus? <BR/><BR/>8. Have you ever seen Santa Claus? Clearly, if he does in fact exist, he is either invisible, or very very good at hiding.<BR/><BR/>9. Again, are you saying that children don't believe in Santa?<BR/><BR/>10. No philosophical basis for Santa? Hello - Christmas presents - Duh!!!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272536951417380102noreply@blogger.com
