Why the God / Santa Claus analogy is stupid

Nah, you are the one who is stupid.

While it is true, for example, that the Bible contains myths about a God, disbelief in those stories isn't the same as disbelief in the existence of a God.

Indeed, people believe in other gods that are not in the Bible.

It also fails to define what makes a God a God to begin with, such as what a God's defining traits are.

You also fail to define what makes Santa a Santa.

while artwork exists which depicts God as possessing a human form (e.x. the Creation of Adam), many argue that God doesn't possess a human form, and that these images are merely used as depictions (in a similar way to how pictures may be used to depict things, such as radio waves, which can't be seen with the naked eye).

There you go, you debunked god all by yourself by saying he doesn't have a form, can't be seen or detected - just as is the case with things that don't exist.

Oh please, radio waves can't be seen. I suppose that means that they don't exist either.

As far as "detected" goes, I'm not even sure what that means, or what the different ways of detecting something would even be to begin with.

But by your logic, people in the Middle Ages didn't have a way of detecting radio waves, therefore they didn't exist, and people shouldn't have believed that they existed. How silly.

For that matter, you don't believe that radio waves exist because you've detected them yourself, you believe they exist because someone else has told you they've been detected. Meaning that you aren't believing they exist because you've either seen or detected them, contradicting your premise.
