Do you believe in Santa Claus?

Why not?

It seems that it would take a greater leap of faith to believe in some triurnal supernatural being that can hear all the mutterings of everyone on earth and exerts an omnicient influence on all the workings of the universe as opposed to believing in a jolly bearded man living in the north pole flying around the world one night and dropping toys down chimneys.

You're just mad because you were the nasty kid that got black coal.

Honestly, think about it. "Santa" has a much higher success rate in giving the toys kids want compared to "God's" willingness to grant prayers.

LOLOL

Do you honestly compare God to a fat cookie stealer who doles out toys to kids?

Why not? My point is that the fat cookie stealer hoax is far more legitimate than some god delusion (credit Richard Dawkins).

And your opinion counts for what? What are you trying to do here that every other troll hasn't already tried?

I'm yet to hear a counter-argument...

What do you mean, counter argument? You haven't shown any evidence to back up your claim. Nor any historical relevance.

That is because you asked the wrong question and it is imprecise. Santa Claus (note the spelling) is a traditional character based upon a shortened version of "Saint Nicholas" a catlick so-called saint.

Are you asking if this man existed? Are you asking if Santa Claus is separate from St Nicholas and Santa Claus delivers children presents?

The phrase "believe in" is problematic. We 'believe in' God in a different way to the way we 'believe in' Piggly Wiggly for example.

In the former case, we believe in God, and that the Bible, AV1611, is His Inerrant Word. In the latter case, we believe Piggly Wiggly exists but may not believe that its 'amazing offers' are invariably 'amazing offers.'

Perhaps you can help us here by being, for want of a better phrase, "more intelligent".
