Jesus, Santa and Tom Cruise

Who is the real deal?

Well we can remove Tom Cruise imediatly.. He lost it years ago.



But the fact is I'm starting to wonder how many have confused Jesus with joly old St: Nick?!

I know so many who only come to God in times of need or want.

Help my sick friend.

Help me get this appartment.

Help me get an A on the test.

Help me get a raise at work.



God has promised to be there for us in every situation, but I don't think he meant that we should treat him like Santa Clause..

So many even think that if we are good we can go to heaven... Free pass for those on the "nice" list.



While pondering over this a thought hit me.. Is it maybe so that Santa was created in a fake image of our awsome God?

Was he created to bring children to believe in a character that judges our doings and sentences us to good or bad. With the power to be everywhere in the world at the same time. He sees you when your sleeping he knows when your awake - remind you of somebòdy?



One of the most important beings in many childrens lives. Then one day it's all over..

WHAT? Santas not real!! He's make believe?! Only little kids believe in Santa!

Your too old to believe in someone that sees you when your sleeping and knows when your awake.. someone who can be everywhere at the same time, someone who accually has the right to judge our actions. You've grown out of such nonscence....

Harmless people say, it's just something for the kids...



How very easy we make it for satan. Is no one seeing the conection here?

Interesting isn't it?



We create an image of a god for for our children then tell them he does not exist they grow up and the new image is of The real deal Jesus Christ, He doesn't want cookies and milk... He just wants to know us, befriend us... How are we supposed to earn our keep in heaven if not through cookies and milk?! When will this story figure disapear and aply to our better knowledge..

Childish beliefs...

And if we do descide to believe, we act like we're writing a letter to the nick of the north... Dear Jesus, I would like ... job, raise, puppy......

He's just a new figure with a lap to sit on.



So to conclude this. How about we dump the Clause and flying deer and start teaching our children about the real reason for the season...
