I do....I have this (crazy) little theory that all the fairy tales about leprechans, elves, fairies, giants, etc. are somewhat true and that they either do or did exist at one time. The human imagination is not that great, the ideas of these things had to come from somewhere, so why wouldn't they have been here on earth with humans a long time ago or even now?

As far as Zeus and the other Gods - I think they exist/ed..I tend to go with the more gnostic idea of Christianity in that there were many Gods, but the Christian God is the highest and has eliminated the other demi-gods.

But then I also don't buy into Harry Potter being bad for kids or Narnia or Compass, etc. I think its up to us parents to teach kids moral value, not books.

You know, Gene Roddenberry was a believer in the Urantia Papers.

Zeus is too anthropomorphic to be Deity.

Santa Claus? Because I'm not 5 years old and I'm fully aware it was my parents writing "From: Santa" on my gifts which were mysteriously wrapped in identical paper to that of ones labeled "From: Mom".

Invisibility cloaks: This isn't Hogwarts, although the technology is being developed.

First cause philosophy doesn't even relate to the things you've presented beyond Zeus, and the infinite and Universal Father would not have petty temper tantrums

I do believe in Santa; ever heard of Saint Nicholas??? We are on the verge of inventing cloaking devices. Zeus doesn't exist there is only one true God. This question is a little ridiculous.

The word invisible also means not easily noticed so claiming that God is invisible is not the same as saying he does not exist. Zeus is non-existent not invisible. :p

Hobbits with rings. HG Wells. Klingon Birds of Prey.

Was Zeus ever invisible? I thought he just appeared to all da ladies in different forms. Swans. Bulls. Golden Showers.

I'd happily believe in ALL these, incidentally. Except God. That's pushing it a bit.

Do you have a good argument for Santa's existence?

Why do atheists only point out logical fallacies when believers post them? As an atheist...defender of the truth...shouldn't they point out all logical fallacies?

I'll assume you speak of the Christian god.
Actually, He is not invisible.
All heavenly creatures see Him quite clearly.
It is only humans that don't have the where-with-all to see.

When you have Jesus, you dont need to believe in anything else.

They don't speak to us, guide us in life, and love us unconditionally, and that's why.
