@reasoning logic,
Quote:If Santa shared moral understanding then Yes I would back up these moral understandings.
But listen to what you are actually saying....Then Believing is Santa can not be the exact same thing as a God...Because you back certain morals written about this God...But you just said "
IF Santa shared moral understandings then Yes I would" Which means you currently do not think that Santa does...But believe certain morals about this God are moral understandings...Or you believe or know why you think they are...But do not with Santa...Or any other one of those creatures...So they can not be equal...
Quote:Can you explain how that would have no bearing?
Sure, It has no bearing because once reaching the age of reasoning...Once you hear it....You know whether you believe it or do not....and why you do or do not...And only work to enhance why...If you do not believe in Santa right now....Then if I wrote a book about it....It would not change your views...Just like you believe in some of the Bible...Because you already believe some of it is moral...If you did not believe anything about it...It would not matter what any of the Bible had to say...Because you already do not believe God exists...So why believe that anyone who wrote the Bible because they believed this God did exist...Is correct about anything? What is moral about any of it? If the main reason it is written is immoral?
You can only see moral understandings to it...If you have some type of faith that this God may exist...Even if it is a very small amount of faith...
Because you have already said you do not with Santa...
