they both have similar stories and must take blind faith to believe in. They both use miracles and magic to prove they're real.

Santa Clause was a man. Like you and me. His life of charity made him a legend. And the legend lives.

But Jesus and God are different. This is religion whereas Santa is pure legendary tale. You have to differentiate the fact from fiction.

Read John 3:16 from the Bible to get a clear conception of Jesus' mission on this earth. He was the Son of God, sent by God to this earth to save mankind from their sins and make a way to go to God.

Nah. God is Truth. :)

Here is proof.

see what He says about you.

BIBLE: KJV according to sourses:
What does God call them? Preach love to them? Lets see what God says, to do with them.

You have unbeliever's, Chaff, Scoffers.

An Atheist is a "scoffer". The WORD of God, clearly tells, ATHEISTS are filhty rags they are, and to stay away from them, and avoid them. We are NOT to plant seeds. God knows it is useless and that is why he tells us, "You stand firm against them" ( Jer.17:8 14:1 Iah 44:4) You disassociate them completely. Any Believer that does not abide in God's own Word, does not know God, according to God Himself.
Atheists are "chaff" A simile of the wretchedness of the wicked. Chaff is carried away by the lightest wind, and it's removal brings about cleansing by extracting what is utterly useless. (Ruth 1:22). They will NOT stand in the judgment. They will NOT be able to withstand God's wrath when He judges.( Pslams 76:7 Exra 9:15). This is not my opinion, this is God's very own Words, in the Bible. You know, the BIble? The same Bible atheist scholars quote. There is a reason God, said this. Psalms.1.1-3 Jer. 17:8 14:1 12. 1-2 18:9-10 Prov1.10-19 (vs 5) scoffers:(atheists) those who ridicule God and definatley reject His Law. Prov 1.:22 Ruth 1:22 Jer 18:7 (pull down-destroy) 1:10 (evil-calamity) 18:11

Pslams 1:
godly wisdom here, declare the final outcome of the two "ways". The paths of "sinners" (unbelievers) and the "way of the righteous. he speaks progressively of assoociation with the ungodly and participation in they're ungodly ways.

God said it. End of Story. Jesus Himself said "Let the dead bury they're dead".

Use all the Internet and Dictionaries they want to and call themselves anything they wish. God "defined" what they are by His own Holy Word.

They can hang a dog tag* around they're neck in the pits if hell itself and separate each other by name categorically.

God's Word said it. By God's definition. They are nothing but filthy rags. There is NO opinion.

Hate? Where do you get hate? If God's TRUTH is hate too you, then, so be it. You and God, can and will discuss the means of your scriptural interpretation, consisting with a man-made defacto on a motion of plea bargin I guess. I dunno.

First of all you do not have to believe in him, because he really lived. ''Saint Nicholas is the common name for Saint Nicholas of Myra, who had a reputation for secret gift-giving, but is now commonly known as Santa Claus. He lived in 4th century Myra in the Byzantine Empire's Lycia, the modern day Demre in Antalya province of Turkey. This is as much as is generally known about him in the West.This historical character was the inspiration for a mythical figure known as Nikolaus in Germany and Sinterklaas in the Netherlands and Flanders, which in turn was the inspiration for Santa Claus. '' (wikipedia) It is us, the humans who made a fictional legend out of him. Secondly believing in God and Jesus are two completely different things since Jesus is a man while God is considered as the creator of the universe by theists. For example, I do not believe that a fat ghost (since St. Claus is dead) comes and gives presents but I believe that Jesus was chosen by God as a prophet and had the chance to communicate with God, but I also do not believe that he is the son of God. And as a Muslim, I believe in God but I have never seen God using miracles and magic. so.. the answer is.. NO

Santa Clause is a version of Saint Nicholas who I believe was a real person, I also believe in Jesus who also was a real person, and most of all I, have faith and I, believe in God. ----- What I, don't believe is how foolish your question is, and how unfortunate your ultimate future is.

No!!! God is Almighty with or without conviction, religion or anything, we all know there is a creator and that is God.

santa clause was basically introduced I think to instill a sharing and giving culture in the human race.

Kind-of,, but not really.

Belief in Santa is a happy quiet belief in a being that will bring you good things if you are good.

Belief in God is that a FAR superior being will bring his massive wrath upon you if you do not obey his and only his law.

A little more fear dirven, not as happy.

Yes.

Like the muslims believe in Osama, as believing in Allah.We have seen the miracles both have performed.

No, because Santa is REAL! If you don't believe, you get coal. If you do, you get stuff. So what do you have nothing to lose by believing in HIM.

Praise be to our mighty deliverer (of gifts), Santa!
