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?

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.

Also, define "good" please

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?"

Except that Santa was never created to explain some object outside of their ability to explain, it was a cultural myth that has always been known to be such.

Yup. Good, bad...any judgment requires an objective perspective. I've seen arguments that attempt to claim social preference as such a perspective, but it falls apart upon further examination.

To be honest, I do not know. All I can say is that we are all mortal bodies with an immortal soul. There are no guarantees how long we will have in our mortal bodies. However, since we have immortal souls that will continue to live beyond death, then the length of our mortal lives takes on relatively less significance in my view.
