For me, Santa God doesn't exist.
The creator of the universe and life unfortunately is pretty indifferent to our personal wants and desires. It's engrained in our brains to want to be neurotic or psychotic about it. The fear of the unknown leads us to the God of the Gaps so as the universe becomes more understood, God gets a bit smaller and dimmer. Faith, prayer, and three bucks might get you a latte. The entire concept of God and religion in my mind must be scrapped and redone. I think that goodness and empathy do not require a belief in a vengeful God or books of ancient scrawlings assembled by groups of men with hidden agendas.
I think that we are beyond that.

@Tastyfrzz I don't know about a hidden agenda but I do know that the supernatural experience I had wasn't a figment of my imagination. For months I heard someone calling my name over and over again while I was busy planning my suicide. Don't say I have a mental illness because I don't. I'm as sane as they come.
