they both use different names to disguise their true identity (Santa, St. Nick, Kris Kringle ect..... God, Allah, Bhudda...ect
they both seem to be all knowing (he sees you when your sleeping he knows when your awake)
They have the same reward/punishment scheme if your good you get presents and go to heaven
if you are bad you get coal and go to hell, you then use your coal to stoke the fire a little more. what do think??

I look at as a way atheist are trying to wake people up. If parents push santa clause and later say it isn't real.. how real is God? Perhaps in a thousand years Santa will be dead on a cross and risen in three days. The initial history of the bible was passed on verbally. None of the books of the bible are written by the authors, but from someone who heard someone says something years ago.
The only problem, the atheist are pushing another religion...santa clause. I don't think either is a good way to raise children. Belief is too powerful to be wasted.
As a child, I made the connection between the two lies. Yet so many others just say it is harmless and the other lie is really really true.

I dont think so because "Santa" was an actually real guy. I think he lived in Norway or something. And used to give kids presents on christmas. They called him St Nick and my personal belief is that the todays "Santa" has been so pushed because of $$$. Think about where do you go to see Santa? The Mall and stores. Companies have destroyed the true meaning of Christmas by pushing their products and using "Santa" as the tool to get kids excited.
Now im not anti Santa but next time you go to the store look how many stores have Santa next to the toys and products. I loved Santa as a kid and I will tell my kids about him. Its mainly tradition and all that jazz.

Santa is a be certain of relaxing and excitement for little ones. God is an entity that once they boost up, little ones will settle on even if to stay their lives with. dad and mom ought to inspire any beliefs a baby has see you later as they're no longer unfavorable. yet then they ought to not stress THEIR beliefs on a baby both. at the same time as it contains Santa, that's purely area of the kids journey.

there is a true God who is the creator of all mankind and he loves us and cares what happens to us.
then there is satan who is a liar and the father of the lie.
So if Santa Clause is a lie, and he is, who would be telling us this lie? would it be God or Satan?
Only God know s if you are good or bad.
Satan wanted to be worshipped and his name was St. Nick.
Revelation this anciet religion was condemed and this is a rehashing of it read Rev 2:6 mentions this sect.
The only way mankind might be saved is through Jesus Christ.
Never said anything about Buddah or Mohammad or violence against humanity as a solution.
So then the others are false religon or lies.
Would the truth God want you to lie as a way to teach the truth?

Santa is God for beginners. When you grow up, you stop believing in Santa and realise that the entire thing is implausible.
Then, as your logic centres mature, you gradually make exactly the same realisation about God. The thing about Christians is that they never reached this stage and still wait under the proverbial christmas tree for god to leave them gifts.

Surely you ask a question to mock. Jesus taught over and over that the kingdom was in giving of self. Santa is a mockery that only teaches our children to expect something for every little thing they do. Jesus taught to give without expecting anything in return.

I've never thought of it that way. It's kinda creepy. Makes sence, though. Does that mean one day we learn that God isn't real?
