[split] Santa is Satan
#3
RE: Atheist demotivational pics
Quote:I also find it hilarious that Satan is described as committing crimes against Christianity when we all know that your imaginary friend was the one that supposedly created him.

Well no we don't actually.

The figure of Santa is derived from various pagan gods like Odin and became "Christenized" with St. Nicholas of Myra (a city in Turkey).

Santa has long been criticized as being not Christian and rightly so. Too bad they still put a tree in the room (even though the bible specifically states not to), hang balls in the tree (which were hollowed out eggs as fertility symbols in pagan traditions), They still sing songs about Yule.

As for the devil aspect: In various St. Nick celebrations he has a helper known as Krampus or Rupprecht. This is what he looks like:
