Theism is literally childish

[I_am_not_mafia]

But that's because children get told the truth by adults when they are still impressionable. Imagine a world wide virus wiped out everyone over 8 years old, the Santa Claus myth would then

... die out on the next Dec. 25th.

The lack of presents could easily be explained away.

A god cannot literally be a father though without also being human and breeding (which would at least explain why God cannot be referred to as Goddess, an idea that christians seem to loathe). Being a creator is not enough to be referred to as a Father. He is referred to as that because of how he is portrayed. Just type "god is your father" into google to see the hits that come back.

You've never heard of adoption?

You know that the bible specifically says that god is our father through adoption, right?

I didn't know that and would be interested to see where it says that.

Adopted fathers are generally expected to be human.

Then the belief that life can spontaneously arise from inanimate matter is a delusion.

It is a typical theist trick to try and limit how the other person can reply. In this case by assuming that life has to spontaneously arise and only from inanimate matter.
