Re: New Topic Spinoff
How many times must we check the North Pole before it is accepted as positive that Santa Claus does not exist?
There's a lot more evidence that Santa Claus is real than there is for god. Shit, I even saw the dude with my own eyes last December in the mall, and yet every 10 year old knows Santa is a fantasy.

Re: Topic Summary According to Thugzy
I always laughed at the story about Jimmie Swaggart. After he was stopped by a cop with a prostitute in the car, he said that God told him he was forgiven. What I wondetr is if God talks to him how come he didn't say, "Jimmie leave that whore alone, there's a cop following you."?

Re: Of Spirits and the After-Life
ne of those definitions include's Santa's ability to only be observable by those who believe.
Have you never heard that only children see Santa? - This is included in many documentaries (movies) on the entity.
I always think of the Cheech and Chong skit about Santa.

Re: Ringo and Jar. Two peas in a pod
Then why don't you answer the question? If you really believe in Jesus, and you think He's of any earthly use, why don't you do what He told you to do? Really think about it and really answer.
Oh, I know this one! Because no matter how hard he tries to fool himself, he knows it's all just imaginary BS. He's like that last kid in the third grade to finally realize Santa isn't real.

Re: You The Man
The IQ of your average socialist
Which edition of the Socialist IQ Database are you using? Right there in the preface of the latest edition it clearly says that IQ is not a valid measure of intellect or knowledge, as I'm sure you are aware.

Re: The Man In The Book
More evidence is and will be available as humans themselves will provide the evidence for or against.
More evidence? There is zero evidence so far. Thousands of years and billions of people, but absolutely no evidence that the supernatural is anything but imagination. Grow up.

Re: The Man In The Book
So you are saying that its highly illogical and unbelievable that there is a higher power,
I am saying there is no evidence, period. If there were any higher powers that wanted us to know they exist, it would be easy to give us absolute evidence.
And I am assuming that your "standard" of evidence excludes the personal experience and perspective of many others.
Personal experience and perspective of multitudes are completely intangible.
Yes, we see how well grown-ups run the world!
What? No one thinks you can run the world, no one is talking about running the world. For the sake of your own life, face reality and be responsible for yourself. There is no fucking magic parachute that will save this planet from us.
Is your imagination limited by science?
Of course not, it's informed by reality and I know the difference between imagination and reality.

It would also be easy to remain invisible until and unless we wanted to know about them(Him,Her,It) or freely choose to dismiss such a possible concept. IF GOD exists, GOD exists regardless of evidence or lack thereof. If not, no harm no foul.
Well, it seems to be taking the easy path and remains undetected.
On the contrary, a perspective of a multitude (no matter the number) is quite tangible if it causes mass behavior.
Yep, everyone in the theatre laughs at the same time. What I obviously meant was the delusions of the multitude do not delude me any more than the delusions of an individual. The mob may be able to kill me but they cannot force me to accept their delusions.

Why are you still talking about running the world? That has nothing to do with this discussion. That's why I said:

Thats because you have grown up. A child has no problem with both extremes existing at the same time and place.
Until about age 8 and then they come to realize that Santa Claus and magic are not real. If they are lucky they will continue to have a rich imagination and recognize that it is not reality, but it can have a great influence in their lives.
