haha, that bit needs to be explained
Three things:
1. They'd hide all the pressies, and when I got down stairs the whole living room was full!
2. Dad dressed up and with some good acting, I was really starting to fall for it.
3. (Which is what really convinced me) There was a full-fucking sized Santa, slay and all his reindeers on someone else's roof, they positioned me so that there'd be no way that I could tell if it was fake or not. I really had to see it to believe it. I saw it, so I believed it.
So yeah, they managed to pull it off.
Of course, theists are going to have a much tougher job of convincing me, I'm a little older and wiser now. Making it virtually impossible to convince me of such an irrational, illogical thing as a god.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
