What exactly is the difference between the two beliefs except one is taught as the sacred truth which we may not question? |
The Bible actually purports itself to be true at certain parts, as a historical, albeit divinely inspired, account of past events and teachings.
Father Christmas and the Easter Bunny are just fun ideas. Their portrayal differs according to different cultures and the story is constantly being updated to match changes in culture and new ideas. Consider Rudolph, no one cares that he didn't exist with the historical saint Nicholas, he's still a lot of fun.
