A copy of this was left on my desk at work. I think you guys can come up with some more, better reasons.
Eff that. The more interesting question is, what do you do to the person who left that on your desk?
Santa leaves sinners coal in their stocking, Jesus condemns them to eternal suffering.
Santa’s followers stop believing when they grow up, Jesus’ followers leave glurge on my desk when they’re adults.
Santa says Ho, Ho, Ho; Jesus had a best friend who was a ho.
You should leave them a list of reasons why Santa is better than Jesus in return.
I cannot find anyway to respond to that glurge that is not fodder for the Pit or the Great Debates.
I would like to say, I prefer the spread of commercialism and capitalism to what is all too often spread in the name of Jesus*.

- Fully noting that the sword, flame and torture clearly go against his teachings.
Actually, that’s one of Jesus’s better qualities! 
Santa has better hygene and projects a better body image than Jesus does.
Everybody loves Santa, not everbody loves Jesus.
Santa’s helpers follow a strict dress code, and all dress in the same uniforms, while Jesus’s helpers wear many different kinds of uniforms, some of them rather expensive, and it’s hard to tell many of them apart from rock stars or CEOs.
I’m not sure who left it. I will bring it up at the next staff meeting: If you want me to respect your religion, please respect my lack of it.
I will put together a list of “Why Santa is better than Jesus” and leave it on my desk. I need your help there too.
Santa gives you toys. Jesus wants 10 percent of your income.
Santa never makes you feel bad. Jesus is ALWAYS ragging on you about stuff.
Santa is jolly. Jesus mopes around a lot – and the whole crucifixion thing, so depressing.
Santa wears a nifty read suit. Jesus wears what looks like a dirty bedsheet. Really, he should wash that thing.
Santa comes from the North Pole, an area where warfare is conspicuously lacking. Jesus comes from the Mideast, where the fighting never stops.
In a pinch, Jesus is good for a few loaves and fishes once in a while. Santa makes enough toys for all the children in the world every year, making Jesus look like a slacker.
Ahh, the great feel of Christmas blasphemy …
Santa gives things out with no conditions. Jesus promises to love everyone but only if they promise to love him back.
If Santa’s disappointed in you, he gives you a lump of coal. If Jesus is disappointed in you, he’ll send you to eternal damnation where you’ll be tortured until the end of time.
Santa’s powers are limited and he gives out presents one night a year. Jesus is omnipotent so he gives out sunsets and kittens but that means he also gives children incurable leukemia.
The worst thing ever done is Santa’s name is overcrowded malls. The worst things done in Jesus’ name are unspeakable horrors.
Santa is a fictional character who’s used to convince children to follow the arbitrary rules of authority figures without question. Jesus is a fictional character who’s used to convince people of all ages to follow the arbitrary rules of authority figures without question.
Jesus is into bread and wine. Santa is into cookies and milk.
I’ve heard that with Santa, if you leave him cookies and beer, he’ll stop at your house first next year!
hmm. my work’s border manager blocked the site (probably because of the sex in the page name). Care to post the list?
What’s that list doing on a pro-abstinence site?
Yeah, I purposely linked to that site!
Here’s the list:
“Why JESUS is Better Than Santa Claus!”
Santa lives at the North Pole… JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh… JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year… JESUS is an ever-present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies… JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited… JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart.
You have to wait in line to see Santa… JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap… JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn’t know your name, all he can say is “Hi little boy or girl, what’s your name?”… JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly… JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO… JESUS offers health, help and hope.
While Santa says “You better not cry”… JESUS says “Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.”
Santa’s little helpers make toys… JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but…JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree… JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
Its obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put Christ back in Christmas, Jesus is still the reason for the season. Yes, Jesus is better, he is even better than Santa Claus!
“Jesus rides on the wind”? I’m assuming that’s poetic license. I remember the walking on water thing, but not the wind riding.
Santa can play the piano.
Jesus’s followers think it was a good idea to nail him to a tree, Santa’s followers are appalled at the thought of nailing someone to a tree.
Jesus can walk on water, but Santa can fly.
:smack: Oh, see? I thought it said that Jesus breaks wind and I thought that one was a point for Santa.
Oh, man, I cleaned like crazy to make my place presentable for visitors at Christmas. I’d be so pissed if someone messed it up by putting a corpse in my tree, even if he is wrapped in pretty paper.
Santa gives good example of being generous
Jesus gives example to Nicole Ritchie
I hate to discredit the guy but this thread is… well… fun.
