It's an interesting quandary.  Jodie says that there is no evidence that she can
see and therefore she does not believe.  Christianity teaches that faith *is*
the evidence of things unseen.  :^)

Your choice of words is excellent.  According to Christian beliefs, we're
supposed to have "faith like a little child."

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were taking her comments as instruction.

That one's over my head.  :^)

I have considered the difference.  Here's my take on it:
1. Santa and friends are indeed mythical beings.  They will always be myths no
matter how many children believe in them.
2. God is real if you believe.
3. If you don't believe in God, you will never know God.

I'm no Biblical scholar but I've found this much evidence of God.  It is in the
making choice to believe -- the decision to accept on faith that which is
unseen -- that one proves God's existence.

One tough part of that is it only proves it to the one who chooses to believe.
I can't prove it to you, only to me.  To know for sure you have to make your own
choice.  As much as it works for me, I can't insist that you believe.  I would
be foolish to try to "convince" you or anyone else for that matter.  It's
something you decide for yourself.  Besides, it's important to me to respect
your right not to believe.
