Yet, when I contemplate my existence, my life, where I have come from, where I am going, the faith of the martyrs, the demonstrations of miracles in my life, i can say "How is it that there is no God?"<br><br>Santa Claus as the mystical figure on the other hand is very easy to disprove. No one has actually seen him go down a chimney or make reindeer fly. Yet, I have seen the hand of God in my life, through people, through vision, and through words written in places, even a fortune cookie.<br><br>I think of all this and say, "How is it that there is no God?"<br><br>Amen.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11933295480047868840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847189204161971538.post-47469354618304150622008-12-21T14:50:00.000-08:002008-12-21T14:50:00.000-08:00Were Santa Claus presented as an historical figure...Were Santa Claus presented as an historical figure, I would agree such is an unfair comparison, the existence of Santa & the existence of God.<br><br>However, in this day, Santa Claus is present as some mystical being with beyond human capabilities which children "accept [...] by faith and evidence of [h]is existence."<br><br>Such is parallel with God.<br><br>Those of us who believe in God are very much like children who believe in the present-day Santa Claus--personally, I think this is actually a good thing; it's a sign of innocence and pure, child-like love & faith (the best kind there is, in my book).<br><br>Of course, there are differences, but I am referring specifically to the scripture you referenced concerning having faith as the evidence of things unseen.Chednerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14963974112297032614noreply@blogger.com
