I hate when kids learn Santa isnโ€™t real because theyโ€™re one step away from figuring out Iโ€™m not real either.
@godpod the easter bunny, tho ๐Ÿฐ
@DataDrivenMD @godpod Faith is either a good thing or a bad thing. Example: Faith that my wife had that the dark shape was a stain on the wall caused her to paint it repeatedly one day. Each time she moved away, the wet paint looked white. But when she got closer, the stain reappeared. "Dear Lord, why does this stain keep reappearing? "she exclaimed. My voice, "Why you painting the shadow again?"
@godpod Pretty sure you're wrong about Santa. Spot on about yourself!

@godpod

Iโ€™d be down to sign up for the team. However, I need a signing bonus.

@godpod Better to be a fig newton in someoneโ€™s mind rather than nothing.
@godpod โ€ฆ but Iโ€™ve seen Santa!
@godpod Finally!!! The truth comes out!
@godpod My kids never believed in god. No evidence. But there is quite good evidence for Santa, given the weird way that presents appeared overnight.
Empiricism rules.
@godpod
Wasn't it Descartes who said "I toot therefore I am"?
@PeterPrivate @godpod Renรฉ Descartes was a drunken fart, "I toot therefore I am"
@godpod You mean, I stopped masturbating for NOTHING?
@godpod with all due respect, were kids even #born believing in you in the first place, prior to their #parents #indoctrinating them with the #myth of you? ๐Ÿค”
@godpod For being himself you know awfully little about the concept of God.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ
@mkb @godpod seems pretty spot on to me. Or do you mean how so many people continue to believe in one fairy tale while forsaking another?
@godpod sure you are and sure he is, we are all you, like we are all santa.
@godpod
People told me one day I would find God
Never thought it would be here
@godpod Now I have to go through life believing my mom and dad made me? Wtf?
@godpod that usually proves to be a slightly bigger step though :)

@godpod

Then how am I reading this?

@godpod Yeah, but thank God, or thank you, I guess, when they finally stop believing in that Elf on the shelf!
@godpod I was five.
@patricklee @godpod Blasphemer!
@SecularJeffrey @godpod last time that jolly bastard gave me a present was when I was four.
@godpod How can you be so bad at being a supreme deity while not existing at the same time?
@Meowthias @godpod Same way He can create a rock so heavy he canโ€™t lift it. #Miracles #koans
@Meowthias @godpod like a quantum deity, he both exists and doesnโ€™t at the same time, only when you observe him is he real
@godpod Being real is overrated.
@vy @godpod and simultaneously underrated.
@godpod The reason everything exists is because you exist.
@godpod Throughout history, humanity went from belief in many Gods to belief in one God. If only they knew how close they were approaching to the correct answer.
@vegangster @godpod it did take centuries (or was it millennia? ๐Ÿค”) of mathematics to invent zero, didn't it?
@godpod you're saying god is just a guy in fake beard as well? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
@godpod That's why we never told our kids Santa was real. We always told them he was a fun thing to pretend at Christmas time.
No need to lie to the kids. They understand more than we realize.
@godpod #God, you have to believe in yourself. #selfesteem #energy #consciousness

@godpod This made my day lol:)
@godpod
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing". "But," says man, "The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
@godpod nah, @Santaclaus is more real than you. You only exist because therapy is too expensive. So instead of a therapist at the local hospital, there is a place for you instead. :(
@godpod ๐Ÿ˜‚ lol for that matter, people should give you a break once in a while. I mean, they ask you and blame you a lot. ๐Ÿ˜˜
@godpod If Santa isn't on Mastadon, you've got that over him.
@godpod 1st. Which god do you claim to be. 2nd. Please define real.
@godpod You aren't real? But you're right here in front of me, how......Wait hold up.. Santa isn't real!?! My life is a lie ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@godpod WHAT!?!111!!! You're not the real one... ๐Ÿ˜‰
@godpod Santa is real... Every costume rental agency will confirm.
@godpod We can make another. It'll go faster with the tech we have now
@godpod
That leaves the Easter bunny, Toothfairy, the Great Pumpkin and the Boogie man.
