Ever notice how similar god and santa claus are?

[skygazer]

They both watch you all the time (I always found that kinda creepy, even as a kid).
They both know if you've been good or bad and treat you accordingly.
They both live in out-of-the-way places (heaven and the north pole) and have minions (angels and elves).
They both have beards.

:P

1. Hello sky

Haven't seen you in some time. :hi:

:loveya:

[skygazer]

2. Hi billy!!!!

:loveya:

I've been SO busy with work and school. Retail during the holiday season and tons of reading and homework make for very little time to play here at DU. :(

I'm actually in my bankruptcy class right now. :blush:

[billyskank]

3. I have heard that bankruptcy law is excruciatingly tedious.

:hug:

[skygazer]

4. Unbelievably so

And complex and detailed. ~sigh~

But nearly over - this is the last class prior to my final. :bounce:

[ghostsofgiants]

5. Santa is way more consistent in giving you what you ask for though.

:P

[skygazer]

7. That's true

And less stringent on his expectations. :hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

6. God dosn't have to find a new place of business due to global warming?

[Shine]

8. "minions"

:rofl:

I've always loved that word. Too funny!

:hi: :loveya: How's it goin', girl? Hope all's well!

[skygazer]

10. Hey, Shine!

:loveya:

I'm doing so well (except that I'm not really paying attention to bankruptcy). Busy as can be but lovin' it! Hope you're doing well these days.

And, yeah, minions is a great word, isn't it? :hi:

:hug:

[Shine]

16. Are you so poor you can't even pay attention?

heh. ;)

[datasuspect]

9. some MAJOR differences

-santa claus isn't used as the justification for genocide

-santa claus is pretty consistent. you can know what he is about: he gives toys to good kids. god is more sketchy and malleable. who he is depends on the whim of the believer

[ghostsofgiants]

11. That would make genocide way more festive.

[datasuspect]

14. festive holiday genocide

hee hee

good to see ya!

[jonnyblitz]

13. there is no santahatesfags.com website either. nt

[ghostsofgiants]

18. That would make for a great satrical website, come to think of it.

Oh, I watched Control last night. Damn good film!

[trof]

21. And...I still believe in Santa Claus.

:-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. They both have all these *rules*

"Be good," which is rather vague.





"Don't grovel!" "Don't apologise!" "Knock it off!" "Seek the Holy Grail!"

[SPKrazy]

15. my God!

doesn't exist in human form
doesn't have a beard, and yet he does, or she does or he doesn't or she doesn't

Santa is more consistently there in a form that I can comprehend :P

[Bucky]

19. God doesn't have a beard?

Then how does He convince the relatives that he's straight?

[Kutjara]

17. They both use aliases.

God. Yahweh. Jehova.

Santa Claus. Kris Kringle. St. Nicklaus.

Damned suspicious, if you ask me. Who are they hiding from?

[Deja Q]

20. Also

God had a child but Santa did not. What's going on with the Claus couple?

Yet God isn't married and Santa is. Oh dear...

[skygazer]

23. You know, I never thought of that

So much for the sanctity of marriage. :P

[lizerdbits]

22. Santa bring presents in this life

God's promise of heaven has no backing and you don't know if it's real.
