    Santa, because at least Santa believes in the Law of Karma,

    after all that's how he rewards the Good kids.

    Sinners get nothing, that must means, Santa knows that Jesus didn't forgive sins, and that Jesus is a demon that tricked gullible people into accepting such nonsense.

    People are easily influenced by illusions, signs, experiences, and fantasies that are a socially acceptable means to acquire more attention of potential friends.

    And they base their Logic of Truth off of such stuff.

    The God-belief, however, is placed in the same category as those morally destructive wrong views which deny the karmic results of action, assume a fortuitous origin of man and nature, or teach absolute determinism. These views are said to be altogether pernicious, having definite bad results due to their effect on ethical conduct.

    God-religions offer no salvation without God. Thus a man might conceivably have climbed to the highest pinnacle of virtue, and he might have led a righteous way of life, and he might even have climbed to the highest level of holiness, yet he is to be condemned to eternal hell just because he did not believe in the existence of God. On the other hand, a man might have sinned deeply and yet, having made a late repentance, he can be forgiven and therefore 'saved'. From the Buddhist point of view, there is no justification in this kind of doctrine.

    Sadly enought Santa Claus.. Because the true meaning of CHRISTmas has been forgotten. I'm not going to lie, i love getting gift under the Christmas tree Christmas mourning. And I also forget the true meaning of Christmas which is celebrating Jesus wonderful birthday. But I still atleast KNOW why Christmas was here in the first place.

    Thats whyy on my facebook for christmas, instead of putting what I got for Christmas, or Merry Christmas! Im putting Happy Birthday Jesus!

    Jesus Christ. If not of Jesus, there is not Santa Clause. Jesus is popular throughout the year. Santa Clause is only famous on Christmas season on December.

    Santa Claus is more popular because he's a phony version of Christ and the antitiesis of him. He's more acceptable to people and few of them would have tolerance for the real Christ. Most people would probably persecute him all over again.

    Its a matter of age.

    Kids adore Santa.

    When you're an adult you care more on the meaning behind the holiday, Jesus' birth

    Its a matter of imagination [for kids] and honor of the religion [for adults].
