As every year in this time google stages us on it's map live tracker of Santa giving gifts to children around the world. I mean I don't want to sound negative but what's the point? We see him above India, Arabia, Iran, Israel - as if those people give a shit. To believers in Santa, or pretenders to believe, don't think he handles the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children.

Not just that but some find it offensive like alt-right Hindu nationalists in India actually warned Christian missionary schools that they celebrate Christmas 'at their own risk'
Indeed I can't imagine how conservatives and nationalists in, let's say, US would react if google staged similar situation with some Hindu lower deity going around US and supposedly giving kids gifts.

Quote:Right-wing Hindu revivalist organisation has warned Christian missionary schools in northern India that they celebrate Christmas at "their own risk" as it claimed Hindu children were being "lured" to Christianity.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/...g_share_tw
In a letter to several Christian-run schools in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, 110 miles southeast of the capital New Delhi, the Hindu Jagran Manch stated that Christmas is "essentially a ploy to lure and convert Hindu children”.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
