Hi, I think I should introduce you two to each other. You'll have lots to talk about. Forehead? Desk. Desk? Forehead.

1. This atheist thinks it's fine if children believe in Santa

It's a great early exercise in critical thinking to realise that the story couldn't possibly be true (oops, spoiler warning!). Also that adults lie and are not always to be trusted. I think it's very educational, provided the belief doesn't last too long.

4. I pulled the beard off a store Santa when I was two

My mother tried to explain that he was just one of Santa's helpers but I didn't buy it. I'd been told I'd be seeing Santa and it was a total fake.

I credit that experience with my lifelong skepticism.

2. Santa should storm this guy's church and proclaim

his reality..

3. Wwe know far more about the historic

Saint Nicolas than he due the historic Jesus.

Which is more real?

5. I just found out that 1 of my friend's triplets found out

Someone at school told her. He said she was crushed. The other 2 still believe.

This guy says he got religious when "God spoke to me". If I told my shrink that, he would send me to the hospital and change my meds.
