Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I found the following page on your site:
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/463711-jesus-is-santa-claus-for-adults
Which purports to relate a quote from God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens.

I can assure you (and prove, if necessary) that this quote does not appear in this book. I have read it more than once without encountering the quote, and I own a searchable eBook in which there are no results for the words "Jesus" and "Santa" in proximity to each other.

I have seen events where Mr. Hitchens has expressed this sentiment, though to my knowledge, not in these exact words. In either case, it is certainly not a quotation from the book and should likely be removed, or altered to reflect an accurate source.
Than you for your attention.

Removed from Christopher Hitchens. Although it does look like something he'd say, I could find no proof that he had said it.

Also, it is widely quoted on the net but not attributed to any one person.

As 48 people have liked it, I've changed it to Anonymous, for the time being. If any supers want to weigh in, please do so.

We don't keep anonymous quotes. Unless someone can come up with a real source (which may not exist), it should get zapped. (And not for the first time I think.)

I'm happy for it to go, cause I looked and got nothing :)

IMHO, it is a commonly expressed sentiment on the internet that has been attributed to someone likely to say it. Most likely it has multiple origins, and the attribution to Hitchens stems from multiple sources as well.

Queued for deletion.
