WTF is a kid to think? Mommy and Daddy flat out lied about the whole Santa thing and yet they still expect me to belive in God.

I don't know. It's been a long time ago but as I remember when as a child I learned that there was no Santa, I didn't stop trusting my parents. I just thought they were doing something to make me feel good like the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy.
These things didn't hold the same weight as religion. I didn't start questioning their (and my) beliefs until later in my teens when I began learning about all the other religions in the world.
