I have always found it bizarre that Christians promote the Santa Claus lie. Whenever I found out, it immediately made me wonder what other magical people they’ve been lying to me about, and that might actually be what started my journey to atheism.

It’s psychological pre-warfare so they can train kids to believe it’s ok to be lied to, because there is a “hidden truth” to it.

I think it keeps more kids in religion than helps get out

I hate that you’re probably right, but that’s straight up Orwellian doublespeak.

Do we really expect better from an ideology that fundamentally considers the state of affairs of being subject to an unaccountable dictator with a literally perfect intelligence apparatus and sadistic bent toward punishments well in excess of any possible crime to not only be just but the ideal state of affairs?
