It's not about logic at this point. It is about the notion that people who consider themselves philosophers will not completely rule out that santa does might exist, which is barmy. There is zero chance of the santa as he is defined in popular culture existing. Why can't we just come out and say it?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
