Unless you're trying to make our point for us, Santa Claus is the worst example ever.
If you took me outside pointed to a man in a sled with 8 tiny reindeer and then I saw him take off into the sky shouting "Merry Christmas!" I would begin to reevaluate my position on Santa's existence.
The thing is, most of the arguments from theists are of the "mall Santa" type.
Yeah the example given about mall santa was quite strange. It should be obvious that giving false proof (guy dressed up as santa in a mall) would not persuade a rational person.
Does not push the point of "atheists are not open minded so they won't accept actual proof" at all. It shows that atheists won't accept false or poor attempts at proof (as in fake mall santa)... I don't think that was intended though
