I hate to tell ya but if you will notice the word Satan and Santa are quite similar. Same amount of letters just turned around. Satan loves to take the attention away from Jesus. Christmas has turned in to a merchant's holiday and made children talk about what they are going to get rather than what can they give and how can they bless others. They get their stuff, play with it a couple of times and there it sits. Even the memory will disappear but the interaction with people is what the children will remember. I know of some families that have their children help at the homeless shelter, or collect food and blankets for those less fortunate. There is a family of doctors that takes the money they would spend on gifts to each other and spends it in third world countries on roofs, water systems, desks, whatever is needed. Now that is celebrating Christmas and it is a lot less stressful. Mmm

No--and, really, they're not the same person; it's just a very similar concept. Big guy who knows when you've been good or bad, who rewards you for being good, people ask him for things--and both are completely made up. The difference is, people outgrow believing in Santa when they learn the facts. For some reason, this doesn't work with the god believers.
Edit: Maybe Santa can't make the blind see or the lame walk, but he can bring them a new pair of glasses or a nice cane. And god can't make the lame walk if they're missing a leg--he never, ever manages to grow one back.

yes santa claus and Jesus are the both sentence to death. But Jesus Christ is no sins and he rose from the dead after 3 days and going to heaven. But Santa Claus is sentence to death because he is guilty and still dead and never rose from the dead. And also Santa Claus make saint by the people that's a sinner also.

What are you talking about? Santa Clause being compared and/or evenly defined as deity? You are mistaken my friend. In any case Christians were not the first to have a winter celebration that involved a tree and such sorts. It was actually the Pagans that celebrated the winter with a tree, yule log, etc. It is known as Yule.
Blessed be!

No they're not. Santa Claus is Dutch for Saint Nicholas: "The popular North American form Santa Claus originated as a mispronunciation of Dutch Sinterklaas" (see Source). This character have also traits similar to the god Odin. But Santa Claus and the god of the Bible are so remote you definitely can't assert they are the same person.
Question: Who is retarded enough to give thumbs down to a fact?

But which one is the alter ego?
Does God wear the Clark Kent glasses or does Santa?

If you look at all the stories written about Santa Claus you notice that they are FICTION.

You are confusing Saint Nicholas with god. That's like history 101 (did you drop out of school?).

Probably not. I think you mean Santa and God though.

Never, because it's not true. Santa Claus=St. Nick=/=God. How on earth did you come up with your conclusion anyway?
