Why Jesus is better than Santa

Are we talking single combat? Because I think Santa could kick Jesus’ wimpy ass and win by a knock-out every time.

“My fictional character is better than your fictional character”. :frowning:

Nobody has ever started a war, invaded a country, blown up a clinic, or killed a group of people in the name of Santa.

There are a lot of Spanish towns named for Santa, but a lot of Spanish speaking guys named for Jesus.

Look, I don’t want to be a pain here, but if Santa only comes once a year, where did he and Mrs. Claus get all the little helpers?

(And if I were her, I’d be speaking to him firmly about the situation!)

Especially since he comes down chimneys! (The filthy pervert.)

Santa only wants you to worship him once a year, and even then it’s in the middle of the night.
Jesus wants your presence early every Sunday.

Santa is an all-or-nothing type guy–you either believe or you don’t.
Jesus has hundreds of differnt types of believers, and mostly they fight with each other.

Santa brings stuff to a lot of people who don’t believe in him.
Jesus is only for the believers.

Santa never gets lost.
People are always being asked if they’ve found Jesus.

<:D bahahaha… good one!

When Santa says “I’ll be back,” he means it.

I have this same sort of issue at work. Someone came up to me the other day and said “X told me you’re an athiest, how long has that been going on?” and then another person mentioned it, asked me to explain it. I didn’t know that my belief structure had anything to do with my work performance. :rolleyes: Thankfully, I’m a contractor and don’t report to anyone on site, so I just blew them off.

Jesus practiced celebacy (as far as we know). But there is a Mrs. Claus.

Santa plays with elves.
Jesus plays with dinosaurs.

Well, since birth. Them too, until they were taught about religion.

Is there a religion out there for Santa believers?

Are you sure you’re not thinking of swampbear?

Top 10 reasons beer is better than Jesus.

Santa wears pants.

Nope. The big guy himself.

Santa’s helpers are elves, Jesus just has the apostles.

I don’t know about other dopers, but I’d rather have elves.

>Jesus’s followers think it was a good idea to nail him to a tree

Um, I don’t think those were the followers…

In any case, Santa is a lie just a few weeks of the year.

Thank you, but it should read:

Despite having to visit every house in the world on one night, Santa never gets lost.
People are always being asked if they found Jesus.

The ones who did the nailing weren’t, but his followers think him dying on the cross was the best thing to ever happen to them.

When you go to see Santa (at the “north pole” at the mall), he asks all about you.

When you go to see Jesus(in any church), the talk is all about Jesus.

Given this, who is the better host?
