TikToker @goodtrouble_ mocks Tim Allen's dismissal of his daughter's atheism by citing 'The Santa Clause.'

A TikToker responded to Tim Allen's comment about his atheist daughter in a TikTok video that had social media users howling.

TikToker Good Trouble stitched a clip of the conservative comedian–known for voicing Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story films–discussing his reaction to discovering his daughter's lack of faith.


"Philosophically, there's an irony in there," Allen said of his oldest daughter, Katherine Kady Allen, who proclaimed to him she was an atheist.

He then attempted to prove that God exists by completely denying all logic.

Allen said:

"Atheists don't believe in God. Well, there has to be a God for you not to believe in."

So, according to his twisted logic, his daughter not believing in God proves there is a God because He/She has to exist in order for her daughter not to believe in the Almighty's existence.

To counter Allen's point, Good Trouble reminded him of the popular holiday movie the actor starred in where he played a beloved character of worldwide recognition who doesn't exist.

"You played Santa Claus," the TikToker quipped before hurling the following question at Allen.

"Does he exist?"

The cheeky TikToker was referring, of course, to the 1994 Disney film, The Santa Clause, in which Allen played an ordinary father who finds himself having big shoes to fill after accidentally causing Santa Claus to fall off his roof on Christmas Eve.

The family-friendly film focuses on him having to convince those he loves he is the real Santa after replacing him by order of the North Pole.

TikTokers got a kick out of Good Trouble's keen observation and they mocked Allen by challenging his logic.

References to his Toy Story character were par for the course.

Allen's absurd statement is in line with that of many religious conservative Republican men who are easily triggered by anyone who challenges them on their entrenched spiritual beliefs.

Instead of trying to understand those who have unfavorable belief systems, they resort to imposing their views on non-religious people–often in contradictory or ambiguous ways.

Nice try, Tim.
