are kids belief in Santa Claus proof that humans are taught to believe in

[Catholic Corrector]

things that don't exist? Compare Santa Claus to God, with both, if you're good, you get presents/go to heaven. If you're bad you get coal/go to hell. But since kids aren't always going to be good, they slip up sometimes, but the parents forgive them and most get presents. With God, humans sometimes slip up but God forgives and people still go to heaven.



So isn't Santa Claus proof that humans just are taught to believe in things that don't exist that have a good/bad system to it?

 

[Martin (atheist)]

SANTA CLAUS IS GOD!!!!

But yes, belief in God is evidence taught people believe things just because they are told to believe them.

 

[Melnazar]

Good analogy. .
