Answer by Tim
The main difference between god and Santa is that Santa usually wears red in his fable, while this god guy supposedly wears white.

Both are fictitious characters invented to alter the behaviors of human beings.

Your assertions are about on par with your syntax.

You saying parents don’t misrepresent fear tactics with Santa? (“if you’re not good, Santa won’t come or he’ll bring you coal”)

FAIL

“most gods…” is not the same as God Almighty. But that doesn’t stop some people from speaking lies about Him. Watch out, cause buttered or not, your bread could easily be toast.

There is only one true God, Jehovah God. Any religion approved by him would not force his servants to shell out tons of cash…that’s man’s doing.

PS: Santa isn’t real 😉

Both are mythical characters, but Santa Claus is actually based on a real person, Saint Nicholas.

My favorite god is Thor, he rides a goat driven chariot, eats the goats when he’s hungry, and so long as he doesn’t break their bones, they regenerate the next day (not even Jesus could do that!)

Having said that though, Santa did get me Lego when i was little, so my vote goes to santa.
