What is so immoral about not believing in Santa Claus?

Tim Cooley asked:


I don’t need “Oh! you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town!” in order to inspire me to be a good person.

If you do, then fine, but don’t accuse me of lacking moral values. I don’t need to be bribed with presents to love my neighbours or help an old lady across the street.

Think of the children! Brainwashing become more painful when you can’t sugar coat it.

Nothing, but if you get crappy presents and cry about it, then you are just a wiener.
Sort of the same thing with God.

Santa Claus is pagan in origin and it is definitely not immoral to not believe in him

When did you find out that Santa doesn’t really bring those presents? If you were past puberty when you realized this, I can understand your consternation.

I think you have the best answer to this question

Pretty cool when you can ask a question and answer it better than anyone else.

Oh by the way, I agree with you fully!

Yeah, for you guys you need the threat of burning in Hell forever before you’ll do something good.

An Atheist does good cos he wants the world to be a better place.

Nothing at all. I think its immoral to lie to kids about a fat guy who comes through a little chimney gives toys to 5 billion people in one night. The parents work hard and earn money to get their kids presents but some imaginary fat guy gets all the credit.

I think it is the innocence card. Look at mentally handicapped people. They have the intelligence of children and everyone loves them. No sex, drinking, smoking, bad language; basically, people want you to stay a child. It makes you less of a threat and, in their minds, it makes you easier to control because you are following their plans.

You see? Everything is hunky-dory when THEIR plan is the right one. As soon as you get teenagers or adults who can think for themselves, things go awry. That’s why they want you to be ‘innocent children’.

You make a valid point. There is no such thing as a “bad” person for not believing in Santa Claus. I just always had fun with it, even as an adult. And you’re right, NOBODY should have to be bribed into loving and helping people. And, as a christian, I don’t have to be bribed to help people out. It’s what I am, and how I was brought up. Don’t let anybody tell you you’re nothing because you don’t believe in Santa Claus. To each his own. The important thing is remembering the birth of Christ, and remembering those in need with love and respect, and being with our families. If people would think about THAT aspect of it rather than Santa Claus, the world would be a much better place.

People who don’t believe in Santa Claus are immoral, sadistic, babby eaters and child molesters. And they’re gay. You cannot prove that Santa Claus doesn’t exist. Non-believers will freeze in the south pole forever and ever. They just don’t want to admit that there is a Santa because then they would have to be good instead of the monsters they are. They secretly want to be close to Santa, but they just pretend not to believe so they can rape children, but they will answer for their sins one day. Don’t cry for mercy when you receive a big fat lump of coal in your stocking. You will pay when Santa checks his list twice…

Santa Claus is FUN! Nothing immoral about believing or not.

I am not bribed to buy anyone presents. I buy because I feel like giving as God gave me Jesus!

I am not bribed to treat others kindly. I am kind because I want to be as kind as Jesus has been to me. [Realizing that I will never reach the level, but still trying each day]

Yeah. How else would you bribe children to be good a month and a half out of the year?

Seriously. Parents lie to their kids to get them to be good and the kids think that if they’re “good”, then they will get exactly what they want. So, what if the kids think they are good and they don’t get what they want because the parents don’t think they should get it, or the parents can’t afford it, or it’s the trendy toy of the second and the stores were sold out? What does that teach the kids? That it doesn’t matter? Then, the parents tell the kids that Santa Claus is made up. So the parents admit that they were lying and bribing the kids. So the kids lose faith in the parents. (And even in some families, wonder if the parents were lying about God and Jesus, too.)

Gee, there is nothing immoral about Santa Claus.

I like the idea of St. Nick, though. Doing something with that might be a nice compromise with my husband and me. (My husband, the pastor, wants to do Santa with our kid[s]. I don’t want to because of what I said.)

You need to ask this question again until you get a satisfactory answer. The only christian answerer so far is an idiot.

Lol Absolutely nothing! I don’t either, but the children do. It’s fun when you’re young to believe in things like that and the Tooth Fairy and who else? The easter bunny? It’s a children’s game like make-believe and then at a certain age most of them figure it out! mine, my friend spilled the beans :( O well lol
