Santa is real he lives in Finland, which I think indicates he is at least more interesting than God.
I guess the Tooth Fairy and The Bunny could be like the Son and the Ghost
Don't disrespect the Yule Elf.

Santa Clause is concept to be the fat, jolly guy who provides can provide sometime of the 300 and sixty 5 days. the perception in God is to have self belief in how each little thing and Santa Clause himself got here into existence, I dont think of all human beings is going to all of unexpected have a communication with me, asserting they have been the rationalization that i'm alive and each little thing i understand, sense and notice exist. in assessment to whilst your mothers and dads, clarify that your can provide have been given there as a results of fact they placed them there, and there is evidence. So no, no definetley no longer Santa Clause for adults. i ought to be sure in the adventure that your gazing it from an basic mindset you need to be sure that nonetheless.

Santa Clause is a bit more human. He smokes a pipe and is married.

One is real and the other is not. You figure it out.

God doesn't have a troop of elves at the North Pole making presents for good little boys and girls.
And, of course, God exists.
2) What makes them think God is any different?
We can prove that the accounts of Santa Claus are not accurate. If Santa Claus exists, he does not exist as described in the accounts of him. The same is true, for example, of the Olympian deities.
We *cannot* prove that about the accounts of God.

There was a Saint Nicholas in Myra in the 4th century.

The idea of Santa Claus is a mythology that actually started with a real person. The ideas of God are mythologies that started with a real entity. The stories surrounding Santa, and God, have turned into mythology, over time. Santa Claus was a real human being, in history, who eventually died, like all human beings. While God is a real entity, who is eternal, thus exists forever. That is the difference.
Peace and Namaste!

It's Santa Claus, not Santa Clause. A clause is 1: a group of words containing a subject and predicate and functioning as a member of a complex or compound sentence or 2: a separate section of a discourse or writing; specifically: a distinct article in a formal document.
And the difference is that people pretend Santa is real, but nobody pretends about their faith in God.

First and foremost, "Santa Claus" was a servant of God, and would take serious offense at anyone, atheist or otherwise, elevating him to god status. He punched a man in the face for denying the divinity of Christ. I have no doubt he would have done the same to those who compare him to God.
Second, Santa is a historically-based saintly legend that is restricted to the Christian heritage. The concept of an almighty, loving God is as old as time itself. Only one major culture in the world believes in Santa. Every culture and sub-culture in the world believes in God. There is not a single nation, ethnicity, or culture in this world that is inherently atheistic.
God is universal; Santa is not.

Nothing. Belief in God IS Santa Claus for adults.

Santa leaves nice presents under the christmas tree.

Well, if you know your facts there are facts Jesus was a real man. There are facts Chris Kringle (sp) was a real man. I don't think there is a book talking about all the great things Santa has done.

Santa gives us coal if we're "bad," and presents if we're "good."
God threatens to lock us in an eternal pit of fire if we don't pay him money and hate anyone who doesn't follow him. He pretty much ignores us when we're "good."
