Did you ever notice that if you just slide one letter in Santa, the N to the end of his name you get Satan?

Question

this was asked by another Y!A user. He obviously is not aware that Santa means Saint (in the feminine form, strangely enough).

Don't you think his logic is infantile considering the fact that if you spell the word, "god" backwards...?

Answer 1

Redrum, Redrum!!

Answer 2

Ever hear of synchronicity? That things are more than coincidence, but
have meaning? God is dog spelled backward, showing God has the opposite nature of a dog, (greedy, jumping on your neck)!
The story of Santa comes from the Vienese legend of St Nicholas, who by
the way I learned last year. Had a companion named Krampus. An "evil"
spirit!
Wouldn't that be how a devil would think? "Hey Nick. Let's give everybody
lots of presents, and the old keeping up with the Joneses will kick in,
and the financial burden will make them all sick!"
Is there any doubt that commercialism, and financial burden take some
of the joy out of it?
If one can't see that, they are immature in thier thinking!

Answer 3

Sant Claus is actually a contracted form of Saint Nicholas. Say it real fast, then slur part of it, and you can get Sant Claus.
You are right, playing around with letters, especiallyin an English word, is meaningless Biblically. If they did it at least in Hebrew and Greek, although even that would not be legitimate, as your illustration points out.

Answer 4

That comes from an old Dana Carvey comedy act on Saturday Night Live years ago. It was in the routine called "Church Lady"
about a bespectacle old holier than thou "church lady" who saw the negative in everything and would use sarcastic humor to expose peoples inadequacies. Was really funny but unfortunately, I think every Christian can remember someone in their lives who fit this mold. So, don't worry about it!

As the Church Lady would say, "Well, isn't that special!"

Answer 5

It's something that I've heard before but nothing that I lend any credence to. Eccentric people will find things that others would consider, as you stated 'infantile', and make a big 'stink' over them... in reality, I think they are just 'reaching'.

Answer 6

Then what?
A satanic man may repent to become saint, and a saint may fall to become satan.
Some people spell god reversely, because their minds accept dogs as their gods. In doing so, they confirm that they accept nothing higher than the man from elemental dust.

Answer 7

Yes, but it goes hand in hand that Santa is a big lie and Satan is the father of the lie, just keep having your fun, it won't last much longer.

Answer 8

I suppose one could spend many useless hours spelling things backwards though some are interesting.

Answer 9

Some people have waaaaay too much time on their hands and should get a job instead of looking for religeous meanings in everything they see.

Answer 10

You can come up with all sorts of things when you play word games.
