The actual objective evidence supporting each seems to be about the same.

I've always wondered the same thing.

The evidence isn't the same. The Superman story was made up and the first books sold somewhere around 1940. The Santa story was at one time accepted as true by the Catholic church, but not as it is today. The Santa we know (big fat guy with a jolly laugh who wears a red suit) was a Macy's store ad. The Easter bunny - never heard of it when I was a kid.However the Roman's supposedly merged Estre/Eastre (a goddess of ancient times) with her pet bunny and the Christian rebirth stories. Like the Christmas tree, the Easter Bunny was introduced to Americans by the Germans. In a sense, all but Superman have origins in religion and history. And really - who wouldn't want some of Superman's powers (flying for instance with gas prices being what they are....)

Best Answer
Superman
- A comic book character created in the 1930's. No claim to be real so there is no point even looking for evidence of his existence.
Easter Bunny
- Created by German protestant immigrant to the US who wanted their kids to enjoy the painted eggs associated with traditional Easter celebration. No actual claim that it is real but part of childhood fun and lore
Santa
- Based off of a Catholic saint who was know to give present to children. Story had morphed through the ages. Once again a child hood story created to get childrent excited about Christmas and to scare them into being good through out the school year.
Jesus
- Proclaimed as the savior of mankind and the fate that awaits them because of their sinful condition. Actually existed. Actually was crucified. Actually preached and was the originator of what is today known as the gospel. Ask people to believe in him and see what evidences he brings to their personal and spiritual lives.
Does that clear up for you why people might believe in Jesus but not in the Easter Bunny or Santa or Superman. If not then I can try to make it even simpler for your level of understanding

Because their is actually evidence that Jesus was alive...and NO evidence of Santa,Superman and The Easter Bunny...or do you have evidence for them?? Historian can tell you that Jesus is mentioned in history(other than the bible of course) and if Jesus wasn't God than why did his disciples die saying that he was...Why would 11 people allow themselves to be tortured and killed for the same lie? Can you prove that Jesus wasn't God????

Jesus died for my sins. The Easter Bunny, Santa and Superman did not.

Because there is no eyewitness evidence, no corroborating evidence, no circumstantial evidence, and no archaeological evidence that superman, the easter bunny, or santa clause (as we know him) exists or ever existed!
There is a wealth of information about Jesus, not only in the Bible but in other books of the period.

Because believers in Jesus are not supposed to have any other Gods. Only Jesus. Blessed be.
