teeny Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Your parents lied to you about a certain zombie jew wizard being the seed of a super wizard in the clouds. Santa and God are probably chilling out drinking beers in make believe land at this moment. I respected my parents views but have made my own choices about what I do and don't believe ---------- Post added 20-12-2014 at 16:15 ---------- Faith in religion? Faith in God that I have discovered for myself and so have others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmer Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I respected my parents views but have made my own choices about what I do and don't believe Well perhaps the children from the op wanted to decide to believe in Santa when they grow up.

teeny Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Phffft ... You'll be saying there isn't a tooth fairy next. Sadly the reality is that the tooth fairy was your mum or dad ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 If we write a book about Santa and claim it was written thousands of years ago, will it be the truth? A long time ago. In a cold place far far away. There was a man A Fat man who liked children He liked them so much on one night every year he would break into their bedrooms and from the depths of his sack he would leave them a little surprise. Would anyone like to add something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all I just don't think its ok to lie to children as they don't deserve being lied to , telling a child somebody is real when they aren't is helpful when you are trying to build a relationship with them on trust ---------- Post added 20-12-2014 at 18:47 ---------- Faith - making a virtue from not thinking. Why do you always think there's no thought in what I believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So assumingly, you wouldn't allow a child to attend church to be lied too either, as quite frankly, there is as much proof that god exists as there is Santa Claus?

Basic common sense tells most adults it lies teeny. Wizards creating the world in one day, some dude building a super boat that carried every living creature (including trees!), whilst this guy lives to 900, no mention of dinosaurs etc. Even if you believe that it's real historical fact (if you do, wow), then what about them lying muslims? Did you know they tell their children that Jesus wasn't actually a zombie nor the son if God? Is it wrong then to bring children up as a Muslim, or (even worse) a Hindu?
