Fellow Christians,
My 8 year old son found out Santa is fake from a classmate. He cried for a bit but he eventually came to terms with it...but now, when we're in church, and he hears something illogical, he doesn't beleive in it either.
I'm trying to convince him that flying sleds are fake, but talking snakes are real. Reindeer with magical glowing noses are fake, but people splitting seas with their hands, is real. A big jolly guy jumping through chimneys all around the world in one night is fake, but another guy feeding a huge group of people with two fish is real. A 6 foot rabbit jumping around our living room leaving candy is fake, but magical angels with horns flying in from the clouds is real. A 6 inch fairy that spinkles glitter under his pillow leaving dollars is fake, but this other guy shoved 2 of every earthly creature on a boat while all earth, is real. It's confusing the youngster. Why can't he separate the logical sensible Bible stuff from the silly myths?
