Santa is just another word for Satan right?

Wrong! First I apologize for the length in between my posts, life gets busy sometimes you know. Anywho, back to the topic at hand. One Sunday we recieved, when I was younger, was exactly the title up above. Well, actually I believe it was "Santa is Satan!". Semantics. So in the sermon we were taught how wrong it is to allow your chidren to idolize a man of fiction, whom you write letters too, asking for toys, baking cookies ( this was considered an offering to the idol) and other nonsenical reasons, but that you should teach your children the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus. This last part I do not disagree with in the least, many of my veiws have changed because of the cult, but knowing that Jesus was born of a virgin, died on a cross and rose 3 days later is not one of them, I will believe that forever. But teaching your parishiners that Santa is Satan and that by allowing your children to believe in him is blasphemous and you will surely be sent straight to hell for this. Of course any thing that differed from what was being taught would result in the same ending, eternal damnation!! Because if you were truly saved and a true believer you would not even entertain these ideas! Blech! So another case of do as I say and not as I do, once the associate pastor and his wife had children, guess who they are waiting in bach breaking long lines to sit on a jolly fat man with rosy cheeks and a beautiful red suit to out on the Christmas cards and use as the Facebook profile picture??? Not SATAN, but SANTA!!
