Santa deniers are low-IQ brainlets

Santa denial is the ultimate result of a society that has reached its apex of rationalism and intellectualism, while concurrently burying its spiritual and ritualistic side of itself. We live in an Apollonian age of numbers, results, capital, etc. and it is killing the side of ourselves that believes in anything - this naturally leads to nihilism and bleakness. The same nihilism and bleakness that presides over the entirety of our culture today. This is why you don't see any great works of art anymore.

A Santa Denier is the man who deems himself intellectual for believing in the "science"; yet, has this man done his own research? He believes in molecules, yet has he seen them for himself under a microscope? I say, "NO". He was merely told this was the case from some book, or from some teacher. So, here, we see, this intellectual man is just as vulnerable to belief systems as anyone else.

William James backs me up in his essay, "The Will to Believe":

"Yet if any one should thereupon assume that intellectual insight is what remains after wish and will and sentimental preference have taken wing, or that pure reason is what then settles our opinions, he would fly quite as directly in the teeth of the facts."

Santa IS real, because we believe him to be; it is as simple as that. When you see a present under the tree that says "From: Santa", that is all the proof you need.

I finish my essay with a question:

Walking through the mall are two people,

1.) A small child who just sat on Santa's lap and told him of their wishes, and is fully content after having participated in ritual and tradition. They fully believe that this Santa will fulfill all of their wishes.

2.) The smirking intellectual, who "knows" in his head that Santa is not real, and thinks that this child is naïve - yet he participates in the tradition, gift bags in hand, supporting the corporations and 1% he claims to hate.

Who is happier?
