It is an amusing argument, Satan is leading everyone astray except them, because they somehow know they have the 'truth'. Maybe they have have super powers.

This is indeed the basis of My "Synthesis" ( ) that it explains Everything about theism If you suppose that they believe that God is piping truth and Wisdom into their heads.

One of the knock -on effects of Atheism is that you don't have to wait for one day of the year to get what you need and eat what you want. Nor are you limited to one wedding. Or for that matter, one religion.

Eternal life is on the line for all mortals. Should one just let their brothers perish? or do something about it? Jesus said--Do something about it--Luke 10, acts 20:20

You need to mind your own business and keep your grubby hands off the "souls" of others. If we want to be atheists or Buddhists or Hindus or whatever, you need to step aside and mind your own business. -- Vincent 20:19

And that is why I think Christians have good hearts. But many lack wisdom.
And have no sales skills.

So what happens is the very people you care about are repelled by the message.
Pure and simple.

Ask someone once if they know about 'whatever' you want--- that is doing something - if they're not interested -
9xs outta 10 they intentionally left their beliefs long ago...and know
more about the Bible than your average bear.
If they are interested you will know.

Look at your 3 sentence post --nothing about the joy and freedom Christ is all about---
only about their perishing ... eternally, no less.
Not a draw...it's a turn off. Not what Jesus wanted.

Since the beginning of time religions taught people about The Tree of Life that has an Angel on top of it.
It is the essence of all religions. The Bible says at the beginning & the end that Only The Tree Can Save you when all is said & done.

So even if you don't like Santa & the materialistic nonsense that destroys trillions of lives every year, you can still celebrate Christmas/God in a non materialistic way by having a Christmas Tree decorated with An Angel & heavenly Spheres etc.

Santa Claus destroys trillions of lives every year?

First of all, there are only 7.7 billion people in the world, so it's impossible for anyone or anything to destroy trillions of lives every year.

Second, Santa kills trillions of people each year?

Third, here it's much more clear how much hyperbole you're guilty of. Either that or you need to go back to god and tell him he needs a new fact checker.
