Celestial Santa Claus

Facebook can always be an amusing place to dwell. When one of my online comrades posted the following rather amusing status update (which I can only assume is not facetious, and which I have admittedly reproduced here without permission):

So, I pray for good weather after 4 days of rain and it’s great the next day! Thankyou God, you are actually the man ;D

I simply couldn’t resist (emphasis added here):

It’s reassuring to know that the laws of nature can be suspended in my favour. Evidently, though, all of those other prayers about world hunger have gone unanswered, or at least not responded to fully: maybe God only feels comfortable manipulating the weather in his advanced years. At any rate, the celestial Santa Claus continues to watch over us all. Good to know. 

Santa Claus or Jesus, I wouldn’t be prepared to bet on the existence of either. One ought to be careful, though, not to confuse the two.
