Is Santa Clause Satanic ?

you lie to your children make them believe something that would and will never happen you create a world of magic that doesn't exist and then eventually that magic world is shattered and the child is left feeling mis-lead and cheated. I have a kid (he's almost 2) and I don't think I'm gunna tell him about santa.

the worst part about the whole thing is that YOU'RE made to feel evil if you don't participate... or if you don't lie to your kid. IT's a bunch of shit.

I agree that the way media and stores make christmas is wrong. BUT I disagree with you about the santa part. I remember when I was young, I liked to hear about Santa...slowly through friends and then told by my parents...I found out Santa wasn't real. Yeah it felt weird at first...but not shattered. I mean imagination is a part of our life. Well why let children listen to stories or play make belief? I mean...it's all a lie anyways. It's nice for a child to pretend about magic and all that because it's interesting to them. Just like cartoons are.

And by the same way you are almost saying "Why watch movies... I mean they are all a lie and you feel cheated afterwards."

Now I'm not saying everyone reacted like me, but I just wanted to say that I think there is an exception to everything.
