This question is bound to really pi** off a lot of you...but here goes. Santa is an old guy who lives at the north pole, hangs out with elves,sees when we are naughty and nice, rewards good behavior with presents and punishes bad behavior with coal...he keeps children in line. God is an old guy who lives in heaven, hangs out with angels, sees when we are naughty and nice, rewards good behavior with eternity in heaven and punishes bad behavior with hell...keeps adults in line. Is there a Santa? Is there a god?

I guess being lied to as a kid really got to you. It would me too.
I choose creation from God. That's just me nobody cares.

Yes
The Santa Claus tradition comes from Nicholas Claus the Bishop of Ulm in Germany hundreds of years ago. This real person was also mixed as time went by with the ancient psuedo-pagan mythical figure of Father Christmas. Nicholas of Ulm used to pass out gifts to poor kids at Christmas from a horse drawn sleigh. He was cannonized (made a saint)after his death by the Catholic church.

Both God and "Santa" can be found in the human heart. You just have to be willing to look for them.

Yes, but probably not the way you think.
