A very religious man Santa lived right next door to Banta an atheist Santa prayed day in day out and was constantly on his knees in communion with his Lord However Banta`s life was good he had a well-paying job and a beautiful wife and his children were healthy and good-natured whereas Santa`s job was strenuous and his wages were low his wife was getting fatter every day and his kids wouldn`t give him the time of the day So one day deep in prayer as usual he raised his eyes towards heaven and asked: Oh God I honor you every day I ask your advice for every problem and confess to you my every sin Yet my neighbor Banta who doesn`t even believe in you and certainly never prays seems blessed with every happiness while I go poor and suffer many an indignity Why is this? And a great voice was heard from above: BECAUSE HE DOESN`T BOTHER ME ALL THE TIME
