Do you have any reasons to believe there is no Santa, or is it a faith statement on your part?

Presents showed up under my tree as a kid and I had no idea where they came from. Likewise, good people die in freak accidents and I don't know why that has to happen.

Does that mean you don't have any reasons to believe there is no Santa, and the evidence you have leads you to accept it?

Also, define "good" please.

You can take Santa to mean any sort of netherworld being. My point is that people create objects outside of their control to explain life.

Are you getting at that I can't define good and evil without an external entity to judge it? You can take my example to be "Why does anyone have to die in a freak accident?"
