While reading the article god and Santa Claus I had a good point of view of where the author was coming from. The author explained how she believed that god created the world in seven days six thousand years ago. Then her opinion changed when she moved from a catholic school to public school. While attending public school she began taking science.

I was able to connect to her because my grandparents are also really religious. My family is Roman Catholic and my grandma never lets me forget that. She would tell me over and over again how god created the world and you will go to heaven or hell after you die. But as I started to get older I realized that he couldn’t have created it in 7 days. I learned that the world was not created six thousand years ago; I learned that Santa Clause is not real.
