Apparently some of you couldn’t wait for me to post my “negative” list about believing in Santa (see comments on the “positive list” post) but I told you it was coming:
01. Santa IS fake. If you’re 10 or older, chances are you already realize this fact. In defense of this “negative list” and those who choose NOT to teach their children that Santa is real, teaching about something that IS NOT REAL is “deception”. If Christians are to avoid even the “appearance of evil” (1 Thess. 5:22) – why would we consider telling a lie?
02. Santa IS fake, Jesus is real. If we teach about Santa being “real” and bringing gifts to children around the world on Christmas day and eventually our children realize the story is a myth, will they have a chance of wondering if another story we tell them again and again (about Jesus, the Son of God) is truthful? For that matter, depending on the “harshness” of realizing the “fakeness” of Santa for a child, will they trust ANYTHING their parents teach them?
03. Apparently, Satan is the devil. (thanks for the laughs, “Randy”!)
04. Your turn. Especially those who DIDN’T use the last post to post their “negative thoughts”.
