About eight years ago I was faced with an issue in a church as to whether or not to allow my children to sit on Santa's lap. I remember it like it was yesterday...I was told by my pastor that I was holding up the blessings of the church simply because I did not want my children to participate in the ritual of "Santa Claus". I explained to him that I felt as though it was first and foremost, lying and that secondly I don't trust my children sitting on no-ones lap. He insisted that I was over reacting and needed to loosin up and not deprive my kids of fun. I later had a quick vision or something of me as a child about to be placed on Santa's lap and I was and screaming. When I finally calmed down and complied I noticed that his hat grew horns out of it and his bag of goodies turned into a pitch fork. I told my pastor about it and he still insisted. I started thinking, Satan is the father of lies and Santa is a lie taking the attention off Jesus on His own birthday!
"THINK ABOUT IT!"

Santa Claus is Satan Claws wrapped up in a red suit. Christmas, the day we actually celebrate it, is not the original holyday. The Orthodox Christian community understands this. The day we celebrate Christmas was moved because there was a huge pagan festival on Dec 25th. So-called Christian leaders at that time argued that we would have more of an opportunity to evangelize if we moved Christmas to a popular festival date. The same is true for Reformation Day which many modern day Christians seem to be unaware of. It's known secularly as Halloween. It's a blatant Satanic cover-up of Reformation Day just as modern Christmas, with all it's trappings, is a cover up of the real meaning of Christmas. Whenever someone calls you names such as delusional or says you're messed up in the head because of your conviction to the truth of the Bible what they're really telling you is that they are Satanic. You will know them by their fruit. Jesus said (in Matthew) "you're either with me or you're against me." Remember the verse that says "many are called but few are chosen." Maybe being a Christian is akin to being a Marine. More likely it's like being a US NAVY SEAL. Very few indeed. Heaven may not be quite as crowded as even some Christians would like to think since they've strayed from "the narrow path."

Santa is just a tradition. Children "pretend" all the time and it's a healthy part of growing up. Santa isn't a "lie" Santa is "pretend." Honestly, relax once you go down the road that "Santa is Satan" you will see evil in everything and everywhere. Don't go there, I'm a very dedicated Christian and that type of thinking is just legalism and pure paranoia from hell.

well santa is a figment of the imagination but i certainly don't think it's as drastic as all that... santa is not satan and as long as we remember the true meaning of christmas and remember to honor God's son then there is no problem here...

Then I would be a Santaist! Because I let my daughter believe in St. Nick. If he really is a Saint how could he be evil?

think about this it isnt jesus's birthday christmas is lie and you celebrate that, the "christmas tree" comes from the pagan holiday that the church stole, none of the christmas traditions are christian in any way.

You need help.
Also, check very carefully the next time you take a dog (think about it) for a walk.
