The Santa Claus Effect
It is a season of joy, sharing, and giving under the flagship of love, peace, and harmony. Santa Claus is giving gifts to those good children. Does it look like an ideal environment? Is it a merry Christmas? Let us explore it in this post and see what is wrong with it.
In this tradition, parents would lie to their children to behave well and become good people, and Santa Claus would reward them with gifts. With our innocent minds, we believed in it and lived in that world where Santa Claus would climb up the chimney to sneak in and give us gifts for our good behavior. We believe in Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer. We believe that it would fly in the sky to deliver gifts. In the mind of an innocent child, being a good person equates to receiving material gifts from Santa Claus.
As we grow, we realize something, i.e., our parents lied. Even to make us grow as good people, in the above context, many parents lied to their children. Even with the spirit of love, giving, and sharing, still, our parents lied. Even with the atmosphere of happiness and peace, still, our parents lied. What is that atmosphere based on lies? Is that peace if it comes from lies, or is it a deception? True love is not based on lies.
The end does not justify the means.

Why the above quote is applicable within this context? Many have not realized that this flying Christmas Santa Claus has created a culture of deception to innocent children. It is not only based on a single incident but a tradition of a community of believers to allow this kind of deception to innocent minds. You might say it is an overreaction to Santa Claus flying with his reindeer, for it is just a fantasy. The point is that this fantasy got embedded in their tradition with their Christmas festivity. The foundation of a religion should be founded on facts and truth and not mixed with fantasy. When those children grow up, they will realize the deception of Santa Claus, and many will reflect on how their community accepts and practices this deception to innocent minds.
On the surface level for this Santa Claus tradition, it is a “feel-good” atmosphere. It looks like a theme of peace, love, and harmony. But can everyone see that this is a culture of deception to those innocent children? In the picture, we can see the mother and the children, but where is the father? The father is the one who dresses up as Santa Claus, who sneaks in and puts all those gifts, and they blind the innocent children about it. In the malls, children lined up to sit and talk to Santa Claus, but it was someone who got paid to play that role. It all feels good and happy, but is it right? Does feeling good and happy translate to being right? The answer is straight no. It is a culture of deception behind the scenes, and the victims are innocent children.
At this point, you can see how the wrong thing becomes acceptable and still feel proud of their religion as heavenly from GOD. They can argue that Santa Claus does exist in the person of Saint Nicholas , but this person does not have any reindeer that flies. It is all fantasy and deception to young ones embedded in their Christmas festivity. Again, religion should not be mixed with fantasy because this will lead to a culture of deception riding on the fantasy while at the same time benefiting from it in their religion. Yes, they can wash hands and tell the people that it is not part of their doctrine, but you cannot deny that it is part of their church. I and many people can attest that they’ve decorated their church with those lies of flying Santa Claus with their reindeer. If that is not part of your doctrine, then why allow that act of fooling those innocent minds and go blind about it but too quick to pick on the mistakes of politicians, organizations and people? It is simple, i.e., their religion benefits from it.
In our previous post, we discussed The Box Effect which shows how innocent good people got stuck inside the box of their false doctrines. In this post, we show how other people (but not all) still prefer to stay inside that box, regardless if they see faults in their doctrine, but continue to feel good, feel heavenly, and think it’s from GOD while their tradition deceives the innocent children.
In our previous post, we discussed “The Box Effect,” which shows how innocent good people got stuck inside the box of their false doctrines. In this post, we show how other people (but not all) still prefer to stay inside that box, regardless if they see faults in their doctrine, but continue to feel good, feel heavenly, and think it’s from GOD while their tradition deceives the innocent children. This tradition raises the flag of love, peace, and harmony but victimizes innocent minds. What will happen to these innocent children when they realize that a flying Santa Claus on a sleigh with the reindeer is a fantasy and used, as a tool, to fool them into behaving so they will receive something from Santa? Does this tradition really sound saintly to fool innocent children?
The Santa Claus Effect shows how some people think that their faith and religion with this tradition are heavenly and prefer to stay within their box of false doctrine and play blind with the mistakes and loopholes, living a life of self-denial and still proudly feeling good about it, thus, the Santa Claus Effect. Please go outside the box of the false doctrine and see that the world is not flat and that Santa Claus is just a fantasy. This effect is a dangerous culture. See the Santa Claus effect during the Roman Catholic Inquisition period. So many people have died in torture, speculations, and false accusations (Galileo Galilei is just one of those victims but did not suffer much like those unjustly tortured and persecuted). The evilness is that they demonize people, whistleblowers, and suspects. Once they have done that, they apply the Santa Claus effect to those who perform the executions so they do not feel guilty about the torture that they have done and blindly think it is for heavenly purpose.
Please go out of the box of the false doctrine. I’m trying my best to save you from it. I am not your enemy but the false doctrine and those who defend it. Their false doctrine gives birth to this culture not noticed on the surface level, so I must make an effort to save those innocent parents who think they are doing good but are actually doing harm to the minds of their innocent children. What we should teach our children is the Nature of GOD (i.e., He is Loving, Omnibenevolent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Incorporeal, and many others discussed in this free book Save Our Souls ). Please, we should look both inside and outside the box and not just stick our heads inside the box. Go out of the box of the false doctrine for the sake of our children and future generations. Our children are our future. Let us not poison it with lies of a flying Santa Claus, which will soon those lies will be realized by the children when they grow up and stuck in their minds that their parents lied to them to control them or bribe with gifts/materials things that an innocent child wants.
