Children love the material gifts that Santa gives them and adults love the gifts of salvation that God gives them? Both are make-believe? Why or why not?

Children look forward to the subtle arrival of a jolly old fat man. Adults are not looking forward to the overwhelming force of God.

True. That is a very good point. Though I am sure that many people will disagree. I don't think that either are make believe thought. I believe with faith that both God and Santa Claus exist, did you ever try to tell a four year old that Santa doesn't exist? I guarantee that you are hit with as much resistance as someone trying to tell a Christian that God doesn't exist. If you believe and have unwavering faith, anything is possible.

True. But God is greater, we have to remember that.
Santa Clause signifies a gift giver.
But God signifies something greater than giving material gifts.

False - Santa Claus was actually a real person at one point in time, whereas God has never existed.

Yes, when adults lie to their kids about santa Claus and they believe he is real....it is like God to them.

I think neither exists, but god is not the same as santa, god is supposed to be all powerful and all knowing, santa is not

False. Santa is the God for children, God is the true God.

False. Santa Clause is a symbol of a person that existed in real life.
God also exists.
