Someone told me you are a christian. Sorry if I offended you. It seems you are looking for the truth after all.
Well, What are you suggesting about one believing that an Intelligence created life? Santa did not created life.
It is well stated that Jesus told everyone that his god was not their god.
So, taking that into account, explain this:
bible.cc...
Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
This speaks of four different concepts. Written in plain sight and highly important because it shows his Disciples have problems.
And also be inclusive of the knowledge that Abraham walked with the gods in the City of Ur, which is 5 miles from Eridu. Which is right in the area of the Garden of Eden and the theme for Genesis.
Those who really understand the Jesus term for Father know this answer and can explain the 4 differing concepts that this one line sought to impart to others.

I have yet to meet a Christian who professes to know everything.
Really?
Stick around, and try not to be so defensive. You'll see it. How about if you stop criticizing everyone else and tell us your opinion about God?
We "gainsayers" are all trying to figure it out, too, and to be good people, whether you want to accept that or not.
I'm not criticizing..I am defending...much like you profess to do.
As far as my opinions on God, they are between me and Him, for now .
I pray to Him, and let Him do the speaking to others, in the ways that He knows will touch hearts.

The primary message in Christianity/Jesus/God/Bible is love. To love unconditionally. That is the common thread that is seen throughout most of the scriptures.. I don't remember Santa Claus ever talking about love but his primary message was to be "nice" and not "naughty". So.. in loving one another we are being "nice" to one another.. therefore there is a connection between Santa's teachings and Christianity, but saying they are one and the same just different versions of one another is a very uninformed statement to make. I've been lurking on these forums for a few weeks now, tis my first post so I would just like to say "ello!".
Happy philosophizing

One thing the OP fails to realize is that many Christians and there specific churches dont preach the bible as fact but as a moral compass.
Do people that generally adhere to the bibles teaching come off as people for it, generally yes. If you want to know what a godless society is like there are many articles on how darwinism led to the 3rd reich.

The third reich was started by Hitler, not a belief in no god.

The swastika was a distortion of the eastern, actually celtic or druid, and the eastern was not the problem. He was actually following the Norse gods, or demigods and seeking for the pure hero, but not really hero because hero's don't harm at all, and was a Rothchild from everything I read. So a tool.

01:08:05 Peter, think happy thoughts.
01:08:08 All you need is one happy thought. One happy thought will make you fly.

I look at threads like this in a positive manner and not a hateful one. It only fails in the sense that most people aren't giving up their crutches. Some feel more comfortable riding through life on training wheels.

Most of us that have seriously studied religion and even the Hitler efforts in religion, know the real story, history, blood line factors, and we also know where it started and followed how Hitler came to his conclusions.
It was Goebbels opinion that Hitler was "deeply religious but entirely anti-Christian." In his diary Goebbels reported that Hitler believed Jesus "also wanted to act against the Jewish world domination. Jewry had him crucified. But Paul falsified his doctrine and undermined ancient Rome."
Albert Speer quotes Hitler stating, "You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"[
Among eastern religions, Hitler described religious leaders such as "Confucius, Buddha, and Mohammed" as providers of "spiritual sustenance".[69] In this context, Hitler's connection to Mohammad Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem — which included asylum in 1941, the honorary rank of an SS Major-General, and a "respected racial genealogy" — has been interpreted more as a sign of respect than political expedience.
Hitler expressed admiration for the Muslim military tradition and directed Himmler to initiate Muslim SS Divisions as a matter of policy.
According to Speer, Hitler stated in private, "The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"
Speer also stated that when he was discussing with Hitler events which might have occurred had Islam absorbed Europe:
Hitler's choice of the Hindu Swastika as the Nazis' main and official symbol, was linked to the belief in the Aryan cultural descent of the German people.
They considered the early Aryans of India to be the prototypical white invaders and the sign as a symbol of the Aryan master race. The theory was inspired by the German archaeologist Gustaf Kossinna, who argued that the ancient Aryans were a superior Nordic race from northern Germany who expanded into the steppes of Eurasia, and from there into India, where they established the Vedic religion, the ancestor of Hindu and Buddhist faiths. While other Nazis such as Alfred Rosenberg and Heinrich Himmler were directly influenced by Vedic culture, Hitler was less interested in it.
