He warned all, well in advance-2Cor 11:12-15) 1Cor 10:21)--satan disguises things off the table of demons, using love, sharing whatever it takes to get one to partake off of his table. He even uses the name Jesus.
Oh, so you believe in satan clause. Ok. Probably in the South Pole, the evil twin brother of Santa who he offed long ago.
No no, nothing evil about the Satan Claus.
Santa Claus gives presents to the nice boys and girls.
Satan Clause gives them to the naughty boys and girls.
Especially the naughty girls. He visits them every night.

So we have no reason to believe anything you say, because you may be Satan.
So your god allows this, but we get punished for the problems from your god not acting?
(What's God supposed to do? This place is in our hands, I thought.)
This onslaught of horribleness from said 'Santa Claus' giving presents to children
is ALL our doing...and WE will pay for it, dearly.

Not according to the passage quoted, where not only are there false messengers, but Satan can also change to appear as an angel of light.
How are we then to know the truth? An all powerful, all knowing god must know how to let us know the truth if it wants us to worship it. Instead, it allegedly punishes us for not believing.

I'm certainly glad you said 'allegedly' - you must know by now there are a bunch of us that
do not believe any such thing.
I believe it's Santa, tho, that places coal in bad kid's stockings...but you have to be 'bad'.
Hannibal can tell you about being bad...I think it involves a Tabernacle.
'The crypt of St. Nicholas, popularly known as Santa Claus, was found in... a southern region of Turkey believed to be his birthplace.
The tomb was revealed during a digital analysis of the ground beneath the
5th century Byzantine church.' https://www.history.com/news/archaeo...of-santa-claus
Well one wouldn't expect to, not in 2019 anyway. Maybe 400-500 years ago.
Ah, that fits within the time of the Spanish Inquisition! 1200-1800s.
Yes, there is a similar pervading mentality still today that crops up...even on Santa threads.

I know this, and I am happy about this. My view is that a persons religious beliefs are often a reflection of who that person is. I believe those who warn us about eternal damnation would secretly be happy if it was true for those who have other beliefs.
