father christmas (santa)

when i was a child my mum told me i had to be good and believe in father christmas; if not, i would get no presents from him at the end of the year.... being honest about it, christianity is no different from this, be good all your life and believe in jesus (father christmas) or you'll get no presents from him when you die

and were you good enough to get the presents, hopefully so will christians be

I think you may be mistaking Christianity with the Bible. In Christianity you don't even have to be good. All you have to do is believe.

That's only true for some branches of Christianity.

So was I, that is until I began to talk with the Christians.
