They both wear red, and are sneaky bastards! What gives? One brings presents, the other ruler of the damned. What is your take on this?

Santa is not one letter away from Satan. It's got all the same letters,so that's not right. Anyway, my idea is that Santa is the commercialized take on Christmas and actually is a very poor representation of the meaning of Christmas, which is the birth of Christ, as some of you may know. I'm thinking it's a sign that says hey, if you ignore the Christ in Christmas, the Santa/Satan in Christmas will over come you.

While I couldn't care less about the whole Santa thing and celebrate Jesus' birth at Christmas, the spelling is a coincidence. Santa means saint in Spanish, and Claus is short of Nicholas as in Saint Nicholas. You can scramble a lot of words, or take or add a letter to make it something it's not. Are you saying they should change the Spanish language because saint in Spanish is close Satan in English? Kinda silly....

2. Lots of people wear red. Proves nothing.

4. Santa gives.
5. Nothing but coincidence.

Santa is a make believe figure - the name comes from Saint in Dutch,
Satan is the christian name for Saturn, the cheif Roman god, but it comes from the Hewbrew word for an adversery.
So Satan is the adversary of God. Thus, Satan is evil personified. Many followers of the Bible consider Satan to be a real being, a spirit created by God. Satan and the other spirits who followed him rebelled against God. They were allegedly cast out from Heaven by their Creator. As to why the Almighty did not annihilate the "fallen angels," as He is said to have done to his other creations when they failed to be righteous (save Noah and his family, of course). Satan was allowed to set up his own kingdom in Hell and to send out devils to prowl the earth for converts.
Apparently it took Satan a long time to figure out that if he wanted to control the world, the best way to do it would be to breed with humans. Invading our bodies would be more efficient and effective than trying to invade our minds. But the Pope and many other pious men had a plan to exterminate the diabolical offspring: they would torture and burn them all! They would fight fire with fire! The Devil would not outdo them. In fact, the sadistic and monstrous behavior of the holy and pious inquisitors is almost enough to make a skeptic believe in Satan. The inquisitors were nothing short of diabolical.
Today, there are still those who believe Satan is a real being, but we hear few stories of incubi and succubi any more. The closest thing we have to such stories are alien abduction accounts and star children. Fortunately, for today's alien abduction victims with similar tales of sexual experimentation--the devil being replaced with aliens from outer space--there is no equivalent to the medieval Church to persecute, torture, or exterminate them.
Do you think Santa is a Alien?

the same way is EVIL and LIVE. What do you say now ?
You should also know that Santa used to wear green clothes and then Coca Cola decided to change the colour of his clothes and made them red.

Well I just don't see kids writing the following letter:
Dear Satan,
I have been a good girl and if it would not be too much trouble I would like for you to bring me a pony with a braided mane and bright pink and purple ribbons attached!
yours truly,
Cheeky Monkey
see not the same...LOL

I think the real reason was so that God could beat satan at a game of Scrabble.....
Having the ultimate power of creativity makes one a formidable opponent at board games, but Satan is a sucker for a good game.
Namaste,

I think you need to step away from the keyboard, get a date for tonight and party like it's Studio 54 in the 80's.
Without all the drugs of course.

:) Satan doesn't wear red, he IS red.
Santa wears red but not necessarily IS red. That's all I think.
