Questioning the existence of Santa was not in my best of interests. So when i realized my parents were giving me those gifts, I stopped believing in Santa.

When you tell a man of faith that "there is no God", he gets mad because he misinterprets what you said for "there is no pleasure in faith", so he gets mad for 2 reasons, because he does find faith to be pleasurable and because the idea jeopardizes his pleasure. A bit like a teenage girl gets mad on her dad when he tells her "there is no boyfriend", since her boyfriend went inside her and brought her pleasure, her whole being repels the idea.

When I say there is no God, I don't mean there is no pleasure in believing in a God. It's like the pleasure of believing in Santa.

No because... Because...

Oh shut up!

(that's worth a rep point. Very insightful.)

Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
