I think Santa serves as a good example of how easy it is for people to believe in imaginary, magical beings. I grew up believing in Santa. When my friends began to doubt, I had to many reasons and evidences that I had no doubts. Until I finally saw a present pre-Christmas that was given to me from Santa.

That led to me really question why I was so easily tricked. Not tricked in a bad way, but I was tricked nevertheless. I realized then that I really had wanted to believe that Santa existed so I biased myself to see evidence for him and dismissed any evidence against him. That led me to the realization that I had been doing the exact same thing with God/Jesus.

So I think Santa is a good example for kids to develop some skepticism about life and not believe everything they are told.

Perhaps it would be wise to remove the beam from your own eye before trying to remove the speck from another's, FFH. I find that, in my own experience, as soon as I start to judge someone else harshly, it's usually an indication that something's wrong in my own spirit and attitude, and I have to repent before God. I plead with you, in love, and as someone who loves Christ just as you do, to examine your own attitude before jumping to conclusions about other Christians.

I know your intentions are good, but I think you've taken things too far. God bless you.

Wow! It all makes perfect sense now. I feel like renouncing something.

Like I said you're sitting on the fence.

You call yourself a Christian, yet you believe in evolution. You're a typical Christian, sitting somewhere in the middle of it all.
