I'm not wrong. Lying to your kids is detrimental to their social development.

I’m guessing you were lied to often 🤣

I was. Religious parents are terrible. Thankfully I grew up with the internet and was able to figure out that religion and magic is bullshit and that science is the best tool we have fairly early on.

No. Santa is too powerful. The fear of getting coal on Christmas teaches kids to be responsible for their actions and comprehend the consequences of being naughty.

You can teach that without superstition and lies.

Never understood wanting to put up Xmas stuff so early. How is reducing the specialness of this time of year enjoyable?

You sound like your fun to be around during the holidays lol.

it's not xmas stuff, it's non-denominational holiday decor

I swear I read the title as “Satan’s House”. Now I know it’s time to go to bed, almost 1:20AM.

Science and religion aren’t contrary to each other, they go hand in hand.

Negative captain.
Science is based on evidence. Religion is based on faith.

It sounds like you are inappropriately grouping all religions into one.

Santa Deniers when they see a gift labeled “from santa”:

It sure as hell looks better than all of the political signs that deface our communities during the entirety of autumn.
Also, it's Thanksgiving week. A lot of people start decorating this weekend anyways.
Usedtoknowsomeone46 t1_ixcqdiw wrote
No that's literally the definition of religion lol.
Justagreewithme t1_ixctsf8 wrote
Only as much as it is the definition of science. You believe in science because you believe the evidence presented to you. Some people interpret that same evidence as proof of religion. They are one and the same.
Usedtoknowsomeone46 t1_ixcub7j wrote
False. The evidence presented by science can be repeated and independently verified by a third party.
Justagreewithme t1_ixcweqa wrote
Same with religion.

Ngl I didn’t think I would agree with any responses I got but I do like this one

Santa’s house isn’t Christmas related?
Usedtoknowsomeone46 t1_ixcy3xl wrote
...No? If it's empirical and peer-reviewed it's no longer religion, it's science.

Ralph R. Santa has nothing to do with Christmas and this is a picture of his house.
Justagreewithme t1_ixd0dpa wrote
So you are saying God is science?
_343_Guilty_Spark__ t1_ixd0fs8 wrote
Ah ok I see. The house painted in Christmas colors, with a wreath hanging above it, being posted about during the holiday season, and with a big sign on the side that says “Santa’s Hours” and “Have you been naughty or nice?” has nothing to do with Christmas.
Thanks, I wouldn’t have known I was wrong otherwise :)
updownsidewayz t1_ixd0i0r wrote
partially joking, year is 2022, you're hardly allowed to say christmas anymore without mentioning other holidays or you have to say "end of year holidays" and why are you getting downvoted lol yah xmas sh*t gets put out earlier every year, it's a meme at this point
Usedtoknowsomeone46 t1_ixd0jfu wrote
Absolutely if you can show me empirical and peer reviewed evidence.
number44is171 t1_ixd0q90 wrote
Ralph is sexually dominant and will treat you based on your behavior over the previous year. Again, nothing Christmas related.
Justagreewithme t1_ixd195d wrote
Okay. Literally anything applies -laws of gravity, Big Bang, laws of motion and most importantly, the laws of conservation of matter.

That’s adorable! Can you go in it and do they use it for anything or is it just for show?

Santa is in there some evenings for kids to al too. I watched it getting built by a great crew of volunteers
Usedtoknowsomeone46 t1_ixazc0v wrote
Santa isn't real. Don't start your kid's life off by a lie. Teach them to trust you. Teach them that magic doesn't exist and neither does religion. Teach them truth.
