On Santa Claus
October 12, 2012 at 3:01 am
I don't know how well this will work or if I should have chosen a different concept, but basically I'm here to defend Santa and convert all you unbelievers!
Santa Claus has left tangible evidence for his existence. Who do you think left the presents at the bottom of the tree every Christmas? I know that it is said that parents do that, which makes perfect sense! We all know Santa has his "Little Helpers". Santa obviously can't make it to every house in one night, that's a physical impossibility. So clearly if you saw your parents putting the presents under the tree then you know Santa couldn't personally deliver the goods to you that year. If you weren't a naughty brat and actually slept through the night... Well, chances are Santa was able to discretely put the presents under the tree!
Belief in Santa is rational. Show me otherwise.
P.s. believers, don't be shy! I don't have faith but evidence that suggests he's real, so dig right in!

If you dare to say that he is from the North Pole, I will never talk to you again. Santa comes from Korvatunturi in Finnish Lapland, everyone knows this! 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Errr no.. It definitely is the North Pole. Repent or you run the risk of being put on the Naughty List.

My Santa is more authentic than your Santa. Here's proof:

Oh? You don't understand the language? Guess someone is not chosen, ehm, I mean on the naughty list!

Santa is bilingual. Otherwise how could he wver coordinate the night with his Little Helpers around the world?

The Santa-ontological argument!
Our understanding of Santa is a gift giver than which no greater gift giver can be conceived.
The idea of Santa exists in the mind.
A gift giver which exists both in the mind and in reality is greater than a gift giver that exists only in the mind.
If Santa only exists in the mind, then we can conceive of a greater gift giver—that which exists in reality.
We cannot be imagining something that is greater than Santa.
Therefore, Santa exists.

And thus the bells jingled all the way. Well put my fellow Good Lister.

But remember, you're never enough. He's watching all the time and is not pleased with you naughty children.

The lie of santa clause was diliberately perpetrated to confuse the christian population about jesus christ and his birthday. The truth is the actual date is unknown.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.

BURN THE UNBELIEVER.
How dare you doubt the truth of Santa!
Didn't your parents tell you Santa was real! are you calling them liars!
And without him watching over you with his list for Xmas would you really ever be good?
Beside we have the evidence in the form of magically filled stockings at the time prophecy has decreed. Is not fulfilled prophecy "proof" enough for you!
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
