I have always hated “Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus.”
It asserts that believing something makes it true.
Bah!
Well, I don’t know if you are being sarcastic, but the point he is trying to make is that some things that we can’t see, touch or measure are true, and they are very important things.
Gonna have to agree with you there, Arthur. If we teach kids that there is a Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and/or Tooth Fairy and they find out later that we were lying to them, I can’t help but wonder if they will think we lied to them about God, too.
No, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus.
Whereas with Christ faith is based upon enough warrant to take that step, and which is confirmed.
