Here's another commen misconception. God is real. Your parents remembered to tell you that Santa Claus isn't real, so why not god? This is a videogame forum, not a religion one. Take your views elseware. They offend me.

It would be awesome if someone didn't start a thread on here saying that they thought Creationists were misinformed... at least.  And then that snowballed.  When you do stuff in off-topic forums like this, then you get that.

You do ask a good question.  Why is God different than Santa Claus?  What compels the human brain to consider a God entity, but abandons Santa Claus.  You have the next few years to do research into neurotheology to get answers to that.  You may find some interesting things.  I would suggest starting with the book "How God Changes Your Brain".

I looked up that book, but it looks like something that considers religion as a reasonable thing. I can't even begin to imagine what screws must be lose in someone's head to have any belief in a higher power at all. It's nothing more than stories and fear mongering to me.
