  • Hey, infidelguy. I think you should not be against Santa.

    You see, 1st, parents telling that there is Santa Claus. They giving their child presents etc.

    Then they telling to them that there is Christ.

    Child thinks like.. well, ok.. I believe you.

    But theeen, when child will grow up, and encounter the fact that there is no Santa, they may start thinking that there is no god. Like, they lie about the santa, they lie about the Christ.

    And this is good, because it helps child to start thinking. :)

  • It could go either way actually. Some kids just wont make the analogy. Instead they become more susceptible to believe what authority figures tell them uncritically. I did mention this in the video actually.

  • Something is wrong with the audio on here, all I hear is static. Can somebody fix this problem ?

  • heh. Santa Claus as a gateway drug. I love it.

    I think the best use for Santa Claus is probably as a lesson in critical thinking, although you can probably do that without lying to them, since they'll probably pick up some idea of Santa from their friends and pop culture.

  • How about putting an audio track on this video otherwise it's completely useless.

  • aaaahhhh. i had my speakers on full blast and all i heard was static. scurrrr'd me. lol. anywhere i can go to watch this clip?

  • If you don't lie to them they don't drop their pants to the priest

  • It isn't wrong to lie, it is not like lying in a bad way, kids love the magic as kids, and grow out of it right at like the age of ten. So why not love santa as a kid and then learn that he is not true. I didn't take it hard because I was pretty sure it was not true.

  • i think its wrong to lie to kids about santa. I think is is hypocrytical and blasphemous for a follower of Christ to use lies in this way or to push others aside who have differing beliefs. You cant judge all christians by your experience but there are so many kids dis-owned or alienated due to religious beliefs and it is so sad. When trust is broken with a child, it is very hurtfull. Lying to kids about santa can be hurtfull to your relationship with them.

  • It was a logical and reasonable observation.
