Why does it seem like believing in God is like believing in Santa Claus?

Think about it before you bash me. The people who believe in Santa are typically little kids, and its a fairy tale we tell our young kids. As adults, we know that the idea of a fat man in a red suit, with eight reindeer traveling to EVERY house in the world in one night is absurd. It seems to me that an omnipotent, omniscient being in "heaven" that created heaven and earth from nothing, gave his son to save us, and everything according to the bible is more absurd. The bible defies common logic, just as the story of Santa Claus does.

Well, people believe in Santa because he gives them free gifts, but in reality, he doesn’t exist and the gifts are from real people.
God is basically the same concept: people believe in God because He gives them much better gifts, but in reality, He doesn’t exist and the gifts are from real people.
Agreed… god is Santa Clause for adults.
Santa Claus is a religion. See my question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtumntRzY9S.zxGpEr3YMP3sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091223124419AA97siT for evidence.
And yes, it’s totally the same thing.
And when exactly did the bible defy logic?
because you are too narrowminded to see just how deep and personally fulfilling a spiritual belief is just because you dont share it
(oh and I did think about it before I bashed you)
If you’ve studied quantum mechanics, you will know that reality is far stranger than anything we could have imagined, including Santa Claus.
Look, there is a logical fallacy called the argument from incredulity. It says that if we can’t imagine it, it can’t be true. You can’t imagine heaven or God so they can’t be true.
