But it can be lost on the audience. I remember one time when I was going undercover in a Christian church and I was in an adult group that had a Christmas gathering and they kicked it off by going around the room and having everyone tell the story of at what age they stopped believing in Santa Claus. Mine involved something about my circle of friends shunning those who started insisting that SC wasn’t real, and then welcoming back those who “saw the light”.
The irony—of how many of them had been in a position just like that, but with Santa Claus replaced by God—was lost on everyone.
