I do not believe that Santa Claus exists (although based upon some slender historical
recollections, coupled with a desire to extend good will, Yuletide cheer, etc.). If I
encountered an adult who thought Santa Claus was real, I might take the trouble to
try and convince that person of their error.
Same thing goes for believers in a flat earth, a living Elvis, or peepstone money-digging.
There are about 10,000 various "gods" made up or believed in by human beings over
the years. From your point of view, is it wrong to try and disprove ANY of them?

You and I go way back to the old on-line newsgroup days. Still out there in Hawaii?
Quite so -- one of the best places in the world, IMHO.
You were never so atheist before. Or you hid it better.
The Romans used to call the Jews and early Christians, "atheists,"
because they would not worship the classical gods of Greece and
Italy. Worse than that -- they would not adore the Roman Emperor
as a living god.
I guess I'm that sort of an "atheist."
You know, that the stone cut out of the mountain without hands proves everything true.
Every time I go to Utah, I look both ways at road crossings. So far
Daniel's great stone has never rolled by me, crushing all in its path.
Perhaps I'd have better luck of spotting it, back in Jackson Co., MO?
It validated Joseph Smith and the Restoration because the repudiation was set up to smite the image of the world upon the feet, OR SWINE HOOVES toed up half way on Mount Olympus in Salt Lake City.
Always preferred Ensign Peak, myself. -- A bit more of Isaiah and a
little less of plurality of the gods, I suppose.
Hey, Do you think that this makes me the last to conquer the world?
No -- Lucifer will do a better job of it one day -- though perhaps only
for a short period. Administering "the world" cannot possibly be as
exciting as subjecting it to the force of arms (persuasion, gospel, etc.)
ooooh. I told my two daughter that they ought to stewn my way with rose pedals as we approached the house where we were buying them a washer and dryer.
Sounds scriptural to me. Let's type it up and paste the text into the
back cover of our D&Cs.
I have to give all credit to HIS name's glory. After all it is the signature of Jesus Christ that is cut out of the mountain without hands.
That is achaeological proof that God does exist. It will overbear upon all the world eventually.
Riding on a white horse, with his fiery tongue destroying multi-headed
dragons? I prefer my Jesus reading from a scroll in the synagogue.
Now -- about that Easter Bunny, and the other supernatural entities...
