Santa Claus = recruitment tool for atheists

From SA Forums poster Don Quixote:

"Santa Claus is ... a pretty good recruiting tool for Atheism when you think about it. Santa Claus presents us with the figure of a wise and all seeing being who judges the righteous and the wicked and brings reward or punishment as he sees fit, and he can be placated with offerings of milk and cookies. He's nothing more or nothing less than a god. Then we tell kids that he's not real after they spend some time believing in him. Why do Christians want to keep him around again?"

Funny...

Good thing that I told you that Santa was real and that his early body was Saint Nicolas and he loved children. The most important note is that I told you that his Spirit lives on in others so he never dies.

Basically, what you get from this is that your mother still believes in Santa and that she never grew up!

Hugs,
