maybe start going to church
Magical beings of folklore and mainstream religion are very different things, please do not take up christianity as a hobby if you see Santa Claus.
Obvious humor was obvious. But all right, let's play.
Religious figures *are* magical beings of folklore, and mainstream religion *is* a hobby.
Jesus rose from the dead and could heal the sick? Well, vampires and their blood are said to do the same thing. The fact that millions of people claim to believe in Jesus but not vampires adds zero credibility to the Jesus myth. Loki, Osiris, and yes, Santa Claus are no more or less real than Jesus. Folklore, not fact.
As for hobbies, we do things that add meaning and satisfaction to our lives. Some paint. Some hike. Some gather and say words to beings who don't exist. Please do not tell me religion is a way of life. Coming to church for a few hours one day a week is the same as being in a bowling league. That doesn't make religion worthless. It can help people feel fulfilled. As with most hobbies, it simply means most people don't (and shouldn't) build their lives around it.
