Hey mansolivier! I thought we were buddies!

BTW, it looks like "our other buddy" has been quite active recently.....I guess it's pretty hard to stay away from here :D

I don't remember since It was so long ago. I went to catholic church for a short time then baptist then methodist. I don't remember the exact chain of events that led me to realizing religion is nonsense.
Do you remember the exact chain of events that led you to realizing santa claus doesn't exist?

Do you mind if I ask the number of years between your "realizing religion is nonsense" and now?
How old are you (only if you wish to share)? (we can always PM)
As for Santa and I....I was quite a young child when Santa was really mentioned.....I never really believed in him as a person. My mom thought to tell us he was a real living person would be a lie. She told us he "represented the spirit of Christmas" or something....such as people giving gifts freely...etc.
In fact I asked her about my feelings about Santa today (while thinking of your post) and she said I thought he was mean because I would see kids crying on his lap in the mall. I guess I thought people dressed up as him were being mean to them to make them cry ???
It could probably have just his breath! :P....... :)

Actually he did, but not in the pagan American sense.

But is religion the same as spirituality?
