Who is more omniscient, God or Santa?     Remember: "Adam, where art thou?"?

In defense of Jehovah, I must ask you to consider that the incident in question was actually the first game of hide-and-go-seek. And I happen to know that Santa forgot my cousin Harry on several occasions - rumors of his naughtiness notwithstanding.

what are you on? Did you miss the part where God created MAN, and named him adam?

I know there is a God. I didn't arrive at this conclusion by my intellect, for human intelligence is limited. Give up on trying to figure everything out, for common sense itself should tell you that you can't know or understand everything. This is not a matter of the head, but of the heart. Ask yourself this: "If God is the truth, do I really want to know the truth?" Our sinfulness makes us afraid of a holy and righteous God who we feel must demand an accounting of us His creatures. Atheists say they don't believe in God, but I don't believe in atheists. If they don't believe in God, then who are they so mad at? They claim wisdom and knowledge and call believers simple, but I see atheists as being extremely smallminded and limited. Did atoms and microbes not exist until some human came along who was smart enough to detect them? How small these people's reality must be! How futile and pointless their existence! I commend you for at least being openminded enough to ask? How foolish it is to think that one's ignorance is evidence! Thanks for not being that way, wisdom is not beyond the grasp of one such as yourself. There is a God; He is beyond human comprehension; He is absolutely holy, righteous, and frightfuly just. His awesome majesty and power is terrifying and he is completely unapproachable by vile, prideful humans. Remember I said that it is our innate sense of this reality that drives some to deny His existense out of fear of the truth. They can't face themselves and their guilt, and they can't face a righteously angry, holy, and just God whom they rightly think will demand retribution of them. What they don't understand is that this same God is also infinitely loving, kind, gracious and merciful, and that He paid the penalty for their sins and removed their guilt which was keeping them from Him. How? He gave us His only begotten Son Jesus Christ who took our sins and guilt upon his holy and innocent self and was put to death so that we may go free. Believe this, make claim to it as a FREE GIFT from God, confess it to Him and to others, then walk in peace from now on with Him, always trusting Jesus' sacrifice as your justification in God's eyes, not your own merit. Then keep on learning more of Him and growing spiritually.><>Sir Brian

I can see your point. Indeed, most agnostics should admit that, ultimately, they are atheists.\n\nIf there is some agnostic around who doesn't agree on this, please explain us why you define yourself agnostic about God but not about Santa Claus.\n\nThe same goes for all the infinite things that you don't believe but cannot disprove ("right now there is a bottle of tequila orbiting around Pluto", "there must be an unicorn somewhere on Earth", "the person who is writing this (Flavio) is an intelligent computer", etc.)

Who created whom ?  Did God create man, or did man create God ?  Forget timeframes and other distractions, this is the real question.

I'm really not sure on that one!  I don't think he should be though!  If we can't celebrate the birth of Jesus or have God in school then why should santa be allowed there?

What in God's name are you getting at here? God is not Satan, God is God and Satan is Satan.

Santa Claus will always exist-if there are children to believe in him.\n\nSanta is about the spirit of goodwill-not an actual person.

An argument could be made -- a yin yang comparison.  Even from a more traditional Judaeo-Christian perspective, since god is omnipresent, couldn't he be both god and satan?  A method of introducing free will, perhaps.

Of course Santa is real.  He is Nicholas.  Sure he's past on, but his spirit still continues, and there is no reason to forget a good man who gave children hope all those years ago.  He still gives out just as much hope today. Don't let a good thing get wasted just for the sake of "reality".  Dare to dream a little and enloy the faith of a child.

God may be "omniscient" (all knowing) but the writer of Genesis wasn't, and only wrote down what God led him (or her) to write.  \n\nthe writer ascribed human motivations to God, because that's all he or she could do, being human.  Just one of the paradoxes about God is that God "passes all understanding".  If we completely comprehended God, we'd be Gods ourselves. \n\ngood luck with this one.  humans have been puzzling with this one since there were humans to puzzle.

If you buy into Judeo-Christian mythology, God is the author of free will.  Satan is not a creator, but a perverter, and thus could not give to Adam and Eve an inherent quality that they did not already possess.

Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kriss Kringle, Santy, or simply Santa is a giving figure in various cultures who distributes presents to children, traditionally on Christmas Eve. Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas, but refers to Santa Claus.\n\nFather Christmas is a well-loved figure in many countries and predates the "Santa Claus" character. Many little children are led to believe that Santa Claus is real and he is "in spirit". "Father Christmas" is similar in many ways, though the two have quite different origins. Using 'Santa' in places that predominantly call him 'Father Christmas' is often viewed as an Americanism and is quite rare, although they are generally regarded as the same character. Father Christmas is also present instead of "Santa" in Armenia ("Gaghant Baba"), Denmark ("Julemanden"), Italy ("Babbo Natale"), Brazil ("Papai Noel"), Czech Republic ("Ježíšek"), Portugal ("Pai Natal"), Romania ("Moş Crăciun"), Germany ("Weihnachtsmann" or "Nikolaus"), Ireland & Scottish Highlands ("Daidí na Nollag"), France and French Canada ("Le Père Noël"), Spain and Mexico ("Papá Noel"), Afghanistan ("Baba Chaghaloo"), Iraq and South Africa ("Goosaleh").

All Myths have a basis in fact. So although we teach children about a mythical person known as Santa Claus, he was in fact a real person. \n\nSaint Nickilaus (Santa Claus) was a Bishop in the Roman Catholic Church during the 16th century. He was known for leaving small gifts for children during the Christmas Celebration. He would ask the childrens parents during the year whether they were good children or bad children. \n\nHanging of stockings from a fireplace had it's origins at the same time as Saint Nick. Children would put thier shoes on the front porch and Bishop Nickilaus would but the gifts or coal in thier shoes. \n\nSo you see when we are talking about Santa Klaus to children, we are not really lying to them. We are teaching them that it is ok to believe.
