If the points I was making about Santa were snakes, they would have bit you. The glaring parallel is even in your responses. I want you to read your response to the Santa stuff that I wrote, but while you read your own responses while consciously reminding yourself that my intention is not to offend, pretend you're an Atheist and every time you read yourself referring to Santa, plug in God. If I were a theist, I could provoke an atheist to respond in the exact way about God as I was able to get you to respond about Santa. I want you to know that I agree that your Santa responses were perfectly warranted, I'm trying to get you to think about why you I instinctively responded in the exact way an Atheist would instinctively respond if God were the subject in question rather than Santa.
I gotta run some errands, and I will respond to your post and I will point out exactly what I mean if you havent spotted it by then.
One last thing, I want you to think about the things you plan on using for evidence against Santa and while you do, try to anticipate any room for me to wiggle out of it, because if there is, I will exploit the hell out of it.
You may want to think about the implications of your answer to my evidence question. If there can be no evidence to disprove something, how could there be any evidence to prove it? That's the first clue that your position is unfalsifiable. See ya later! Have fun
This IS supposed to be fun you know...
Also, don't get too hung up on a particular version of Santa. If Santa doesn't exist, and is easily refutable, then it couldn't possibly matter what version I try to defend. Right?
