Wake up--you're human, and none of us are perfect. Lying to yourself about something which will never be able to fulfill the purpose you cling to it for.
And you want to complain about lying to children about Santa Claus. The difference is that nobody takes that "lie" as seriously as the bigger lie you subscribe to.
I still think the "religious" stuff is your craziest-seeming behavior. it's like you need to sober up and come back to Earth. You can't have your feet on the ground if your head is in the clouds.
