Now that I think of it I've never seen Santa Clauss and Jesus in the same room at the same time, you don't think...could it be...? Militant proselytizers of all stripes get really, REALLY weird about Santa Claus. Like, it's a fun story, almost every single adult you meet was told it as a child, it's probably not messing people up forever.

This is probably one of the dumbest arguments here, and the one that sounds the most like schizophrenia. Blavatsky didn't make up Sanatkumara; she just pulled a Euro-syncretic bullshit suplex on him.

I love how he's telling you to accept Jesus as your savior, like you're going to be convinced by his tract if you weren't already a completely insane fundamentalist.

neonnoodle posted:Santa is a ridiculous moral fable that children quickly learn was made up to keep them in line, and Jesus... Here in Australia a comedian appearing on a 6.30pm current affairs program mentioned that Santa wasn't real and everyone lost their loving minds. Newspapers were running articles for days afterwards about how she'd ruined Christmas for families all over the country and the TV station had to issue a grovelling apology.

I was talking with my wife about the whole Santa thing. I figured it was an innocent enough thing and that we'd tell our kids about Santa. Apparently her mom was pretty straight up with her and said that he doesn't exist but a lot of kids believe in him and it's fun to believe so she was cool. She's pretty insistent about doing the same with our kids. The more I think about it, the more I think she's right.

I think there's both value in believing in the myth of a benevolent bearded man who showers you with presents, and in eventually finding out that he is just fiction.

My parents set up a "motion detector" on our lovely VHS video camera and taped our drunken, hip-replacement uncle in a Santa costume stumbling around for thirty seconds. I believed that poo poo for years

To paraphrase Pratchett, you have to start off being taught to believe in the small lies, like Santa, so you can learn to believe in the large ones, like justice.

There's also value in the act of pure giving that a Santa gift represents - of having your kids receive presents from some anonymous dude without taking credit for it yourself. Yes, it's all a sham, but it's a useful sham that has a lot of good value lessons connected with it.

I never really understood the deal with Santa. I don't think I ever believed in him; maybe I did when I was really little, but I don't remember it all. Even if I did, I must have stopped believing at a very young age. Either way, kids love Santa not because he's Santa, but because he brings them gifts. As long as the kids know they'll still be getting gifts, I doubt most would give any fucks about Fatty Fatty McFatfuck Clause. It definitely gets a little creepy when parents flip their poo poo over someone supposedly "spoiling" Santa for their kids. Across all of recorded history, number of kids mentally scarred by learning Santa isn't real at too young an age = ZERO. "Whuh..... what?! SANTA ISN'T REAL!!! WAAAAAAHHHH... wait, am I still getting an XBox and Literally Shaking Barbie? I AM! Cool! What was I crying about.... whatever, can't remember, back to staring blankly into my parents iPad."

The Netherlands' Santa that comes to town on horseback and breaks into your home with 6 to 8 black men, stuffs you in a sack, and repeatedly kicks it is real though, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCUHTDrca4s Ak Gara has a new favorite as of 14:23 on Dec 20, 2014 |

There is an indeterminate number of Zwarte Pieten, usually just one when Sinterklaas is making the rounds and dropping presents through chimneys. Not sure where the 6-8 number comes from. No one here believes in the pale imitation that is Santa Claus™ (de Kerstman), that would just be ridiculous. Living on the North Pole with his elves, there's only so much suspension of disbelief even for kids. Fatkraken posted:Santa is fake OK this guy is cooler than both Sinterklaas and Santa Claus.

I was always the curious sort when I was younger. I'm the kid who tried to spot Santa coming in and placing the presents every year. My father, in a panic at hearing my latest Santa-catching plan one year, informed me that if I, or anyone else, ever laid eyes on Santa he would die. Just drop dead right there. I was incredulous of course, until I got some corroborating evidence.
