Mark: Can you imagine a place where you are given presents every day? Where someone gives you rules with a twinkle in their eyes. Where the order of the day is to Ho, Ho, Ho. Can you imagine a place where it is Christmas every day? Such a place does exist, and it is not as foreign as you may think. In fact you could say it is not foreign at all. Just drop your baggage you do not need it where you are going to be.
Ron: I think THAT is exactly the sort of baggage of reward/punishment that is placed in a hypothetical entity that gives one rules that is the problem with God AND christmas in general. When people start doing Santa's work of weeding out the naughty from the nice, when they are disapointed in the presents they get are not the presents they asked for...gosh..it's not foriegn it's just an immature undeveloped selfish conception of the good.
