DISCUSSION 'Should the figure of Santa Claus be banned ?'

Yes, Santa Claus should be banned (but not entirely)

Santa Claus is a needless lie. It is unfair and pointless to make children cry when they find he does not exist. Even worse is if that never find out until they are adult. Just believe it, it does happen.
Some people never have believed in Santa Claus as kids, their parents always made them realise that he is not real. They still enjoyed Christmas as much as everyone else as a child, it was always the best time of the year.
That said, the image of Santa Claus is a major part of the world's culture. It would be a great disappointment to lose this. In this opinion you should only ask parents to think twice before telling you kids a lie.


No, Santa Claus should not be banned.

When people were young, most of their parents probably would have taught them that good things will happen to them if you be good yourself. It is an ideal way in teaching them to do good deeds, and when they gradually get older, they'll understand.

What is to be gained in spoiling this?
And what better way to instill the idea of generosity and selfless giving than by the example of a friendly stranger coming in the night and leaving gifts for good children while asking for nothing of material value in return?
Also, have you thought about the outcome if Santa was to be banned, Santa toys will be thrown out, Santa multi-million dollar movies will wasted and parents will have to think of new ways to make Christmas more interesting for the children.

And what will happen to the true spirit of Christmas ...?

Not 'banned', but I personally would not promulgate the lie on any children and will answer 100% honestly if anyone asks me if he really exists or not. In other words, I will not personally support the concept. For me, 'banning' any idea is just a bad thing in general. Better to educate people so they can spot on their own good ideas vs. bad ideas. IMHO.

This is a question for Christians.

No not really since Santa Claus isn't part of the true Christian holiday of Christmas.

Lol I didn't know this was such a controversial topic.

No, he is a cultural centerpiece.

fact: Santa Claus is actually coming from the Dutch Sinterlaas which then comes from Saint-Nicholas.

Well then, Zwarte Piet also should be banned.

No jk.

Zwarte Piet is also a part of our tradition and we don't want to alter his image.

Some adults never find out that God is a lie. God is pointless.

But you need a way to make a̶d̶u̶l̶t̶s̶ children behave.

Ba Humbug.

It is spelt "Bah humbug".


And yes Santa Claus should be banned because he is a stalker, a trespasser and probably also something else.

Damn waste of taxpayer money. Pork barrel money at its finest.

They took the Christ out of Christmas and just added more Mass....



And P.S. Do some for real research about when Jesus was born. The stars they talk about in the bible are consistent with that of the ones that appear in summer....So again. They took the Christ out of Christmas and just added more Mass....

They took the Christ out of Christmas and just added more Mass....


Are you talking about religion in general? Because gluttony is a sin and many religious people seem to ignore gluttony.

Eat up

santa is a pedo

I am for his banishment. He is just one healthy capitalist who once a year spreads the fruit of his capittalist exploitation by saying, "here, take some charity"

fact: Santa was created by coca-cola, based on Saint Nicholas
