I think even children understand the difference between fictional and real as they get a little older. Tooth fairy, Santa Claus, Easter bunny, all fictional just like Cinderella and Spiderman. These arguments y'all make about Christmas are just jumbling different issues. If you don't want to tell your kids about Santa or whatever, then don't but don't try to push your mistaken beliefs on believers who don't believe as you do. No one should equate Christian issues with make believe. It's unnecessary noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we told our kids that the Santas were somebodies daddy dressed up to look like a santa clause. When we told them about Jesus we wanted them to believe us and to know we don't lies to them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear, I'd hate to think of how many people have given up on Worthy simply because (it seems to me) there's an ever-increasing flood of legalists coming to this site, with seemingly no end to it.

Yes, and if casual or curious readers come and read the nonsense these people post they may very well just roll their eyes and move on. I just hate it and I also know for sure that some have left Worthy because of the 'out there' stuff and the arguments that go on weeks over things like Christmas. SDAs and other fringe elements love to throw a wrench into the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
