: God is just like Santa Claus, we have not got any prooff of his nonexistance when we are kids and then we grow up and realize the truth. We have not got any proof of God's existance or nonexistance, just a funny book a band of pranksters made us believe it was written by him (just as our parents made us believe in Santa). Anyway we have to wait until we die to find out if HeSheIt is real or just another lie our parents told us.
You know, you are right. We get all kinds of stories of how if we are good throghout the year, we will receive presents. They read us stories and we saw Christmas specials and the like. That was pretty good until I was five and I caught my Dad making my first bike in the living room. It was no big deal.
My faith in God is true. I don't doubt that. Patience is an easy thing. My faith is there.
However, for clarity's sake, have you read the Bible, cover to cover?
I know a lot about Santa. Do you know a lot about the Bible? That's something I can say about Ezekiel. He knows his scripture well. When we have a debate, his arguments are articulate and well put-together.
Your argument is like coming to a gunfight unarmed.
Well, thanks for the time.
