Does Santa Claus exist if you believe he exists?

Question

If I exist because I think exist according to the physophical statment. Then does Santa clause exist if I think he exists? Does the rule still apply?

I think my point is that- Do the act of believing that he exists create, on some level or plane, a degree of "existence".

Answer 1

Hello:

Well to begin with...you can be sure that you exist because you can think...because you can question if you exist...see Rene Descartes.

I will attempt to rephrase your question to make it more clear: If I think of an imaginary friend...call him Roy. To what extent is Roy real. I mean...I can see him in my mind...I know how tall he is and what he looks like and he has a hair color and glasses...frankly at this point I wish I pictured a woman, but I am stuck with ol Roy. You know what, I even know that Roy feels bad when I say stuff like that and that he loves black and white movies.

So to a certain extent Roy is more real than some of my coworkers whom I know nothing about. Is Roy more real than my coworkers?

No. absolutely not. Its not even close. How about this..."If something else can directly kill you...it is real". Santa could never strangle you in your sleep, ergo it is not actually real. An idea...a concept is in fact real and can be a part of reality, however unicorns will never be real no matter how many 8 year old girls wish as hard as they can.

So really I guess it depends on what you mean, but even though something can be totally real to you...it does not contain as much actual reality as someone on the other side of the planet that you or anyone you ever meet will come into contact with...could never contain as much reality as the faceless person on the other side of the world.

I hope this helps

You do not exist because you think you exist. You can think you exist because you do exist. If you did not exist, you could not think at all, including you could not think that you exist. Cart before the horse, there.

Likewise, believing in Santa or anything else does not somehow breathe life into it and make it exist. It either exists or not, and the correspondence between what you think exists and what really does exist, is the index of how much you know vs how much your head is up your **** with delusion.

Existence is independent of our awareness of it, and not subject to any effects of our denial of it.

Santa Claus is a historical person who lived.

He was a 4th century Christian bishop of Myra in Lycia, a province of the Byzantine Anatolia, now in Turkey. Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor, in particular presenting the three impoverished daughters of a pious Christian with dowries so that they would not have to become prostitutes. He was very religious from an early age and devoted his life entirely to Christianity. In Europe (more precisely the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Germany) he is still portrayed as a bearded bishop in canonical robes. The relics of St. Nicholas were transported to Bari in southern Italy by some enterprising Italian merchants; a basilica was constructed in 1087 to house them and the area became a pilgrimage site for the devout. Saint Nicholas became revered by many as the patron saint of seamen, merchants, archers, children, prostitutes, pharmacists, lawyers, pawnbrokers, prisoners, the city of Amsterdam, and of Russia. In Greece, Saint Nicholas is substituted for Saint Basil (Agios Vasilis in Greek), a 4th century AD bishop from Caesarea. Also, the Northern part of the Netherlands and a few villages in Flanders, Belgium, celebrate a near identical figure, Sint-Maarten (Saint Martin of Tours).

He is the Patrion Saint of Toys, and protector of childreen from human trafficing. Like all Saints we can ask him to "Interceed" on our behalf. So the real question is do we believe that Saints (any Saint) interceeds on our behalf?

I nonetheless have self assurance in Santa Claus and consistently will, and that i'm fifty one. i think of once you do away with the magic of perception, you kill the baby interior and the person will become jaded approximately lifestyles, actuality,miracles,and desire. once you believed there grew to become right into a Santa Claus did no longer you apart from mght have self assurance greater that lifestyles grew to become into magic and that in case you wished something badly adequate and have been good, it may take place. properly we are asked to do an identical subject as quickly as we are little ones whilst it pertains to God,and as little ones we've self assurance it to be real and magical and we pray and acquire and sense that our burdens have been lessened. yet as quickly as we are adults and lose that formative years inocence we question our ideals, removing perception and desire. yet as long as all of us understand there are issues in lifestyles that guy will in no way understand the answer to, does not that provide room for the concept that in line with probability Santa and God do exist if we gained't teach in any different case. My perception is that we've been made in God's image,and understand all understanding ,previous modern and destiny, yet because of the fact we are mortals, we don't have the applications to handle all the certainty there is, yet people who're of open techniques and inventive, are greater in touch with inner knoledge, for this reason esp skill being larger in some than in others. we are only greater easily in a position to faucet into a number of that understanding. there is an skill,a tension that exists, in the universe and all i understand is, that once I pray, it facilitates, whilst i think in Santa, and God, Christmas is greater eye-catching and magic, and the coldest hearts can soften like butter. We will possibly no longer think of God is there whilst a kin member is killed, or a war is began, yet he's there to appease the injuries of a loss of lifestyles brought about via mortal hands, and he's scuffling with agaisnt the devil of war, and his angels are his infantrymen, scuffling with for peace, and love. No God, no Santa, If i did no longer have self assurance that, i does not be right here.

Answer 6

would aeroplanes exist if nobody believed in them? i think not. on the other hand, they would still exist if some of us disbelieved in them. / a little girl asked me once,"wouldn't it be a bummer if Santa Claus is real, and the reason we never get any presents is because we don't believe in him?"

Answer 7

Oh yes yes yes Santa Claus exists...Google Saint Nicholas...Good luck

Answer 8

No, I don't believe that he would exist even though you believe he exists. My reasoning for this is that when you were a little kid... didn't you believe in Santa? Even though you believed in him he wasn't real! Sooo... yeah, that's my thoughts. Hahaha...
Hoped I was able 2 help!

Things don't exist because we believe they exist. They exist independantly of our thoughts, or they do not exist - also independantly of what we think. Thinking god exists does not make him exist. Thinking heaven exists will not make it exist and that goes for a hundred or a thousand or a million people all believing it exists. IT still doesn't exist.

Answer 10
