Why do so many cartoons spread the santa myth, even though it ultimately makes people depressed and upset around the holidays when kids find out hes not real?

>hes not real
Wh-what!?

He's real in the DC Universe.

jesus is been long dead for millenia
no proof god exists

santa falls under the same category

Id say the state of being and consciousness, as well as the material world and life itself is proof of a higher power. Doubtful its the christian god, though.

>even though it ultimately makes people depressed and upset around the holidays when kids find out hes not real
But you're wrong, the part that makes people depressed about Christmas is the repetitive songs, nature dying, having to pretend to be nice to family members who are unpleasant, the stress of having to feed/gift everyone, etc.

It has fuckall to do with Santa not existing, if anything adults keep tricking children so they can at least enjoy giving smiles to their children while it lasts.

I wasn't sad at all when I found out, I still enjoy celebrating then and I still enjoy celebrating now.

Also
>holidays
If you celebrate Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, or any other lesser holiday that doesn't involve good ol' American capitalist fun, no shit you're depressed compared to everyone else.

I know for many it's the sign of the end of the year and the passage of time.

there is no proof you exists

He's a fun and iconic character even if he doesn't exist.

oh boy here we go

you could've said easter bunny and got the same point across but you had to be a redditfag

doubt it's even a god
the higher power is probably some random common creature from a universe bigger than ours that our universe is like a cell or a particle forming an atom of it

This too, but especially during New Year's as well. Since they're so close together, I can see the connection to Christmas as well.

I cried like a bitch when i found out santa wasnt real. Afterwards christmas got less and less magical over the years, and as i got more bitter and lonely from being rejected by everyone in highschool social groups and my extended family hating me, i hate this corporate machine of cheary bullshit. If i cant be happy around christmas, no one should be. I fucking hate christmas.

>my feefees hurt waah waah you meany reddit boogeyman
jokes on you faggotiny i'm christian and i believe in god
i just accept that believing in him is purely based on faith and nothing else

>anyone who insuts my pathetic relgion is a neckbeard
No wonder more people then ever hate your beliefs, christfag bitch.

I hate to be ThatGuy but m.youtube.com/watch?v=-8jPVPbvWxU

>the higher power is probably some random common creature from a universe bigger than ours that our universe is like a cell or a particle forming an atom of it
Are you literally me?

I never was depressed because santa isn't real, i'm depressed at the holiday because it's almost a new year and i did nothing.

Well honestly, I figured it out before my parents approached me because it just wasn't logical. Especially when the kids that had bullied me and physically harmed me still got gifts instead of coal, and nice kids I knew got coal "as a joke". After that, I seriously questioned Santa's morality about giving gifts.

For a while, I just doubted that they got them from Santa himself and lied since it wasn't above them to lie. But thinking about it more and more, it just made sense that all the gifts come from our parents.

I'm sorry your embitterment prevents you from accepting the social normality of participating in a widely accepted coporate holiday, I hope that someday you will stop feeling sorry for yourself and get with the program, faggot.

>But you're wrong, the part that makes people depressed about Christmas is the repetitive songs, nature dying, having to pretend to be nice to family members who are unpleasant, the stress of having to feed/gift everyone, etc.

And I thought my dad's death a week before christmas 2013 was sad enough, fuck you user.

>It has fuckall to do with Santa not existing, if anything adults keep tricking children so they can at least enjoy giving smiles to their children while it lasts.
And getting the kids to show you exactly what they want for Christmas. Christmas shopping for children is fucking easy mode. Just take them shopping for a sibling or cousin, wait for them to show you what they want for Christmas.

>I'm sorry your embitterment prevents you from accepting the social normality of participating in a widely accepted coporate holiday, I hope that someday you will stop feeling sorry for yourself and get with the program, faggot.
You do realize i said in my posts its other reasons why i hate christmas, right? It just started as a kid because of the santa thing, but it continued from other things

fair enough.

not a christian, just not an edgelord either ;^)

now go back to watching reddit and memey you cringey fuck

>the santa myth
>makes people depressed and upset around the holidays

>everything they want is FNAF shit or some fucking awful app game
>refuse to play with conventional toys anymore because their stubborn entitled faggots who are think their “too mature” for toys just becuse they play COD at 12
This generation of kids deserve sevre beatings

>I hope that someday you will stop feeling sorry for yourself
please take it to heart

>duh, everyone who hates christianity is edgelord or likes R&M
>supporting a religion just as bad as islam just to be contrarian
Kill yourself

>le euphoric meme ad hominem
>just not an edgelord either ;^)

you sure showed them bucko!

Then yell at them for being spoiled little bitches and surprise them with coal.

Why is Sup Forums so retarded to take bait so easily?

how can our eyes be real

I will do this if my kids ever end up being this autistic. Hopefully the curse of this shit decade ruining everything will subside, and kids will go back to being kids again.

There are so many sperging faggots here, who can even say what is bait anymore?

>hes not real

>everything they want is FNAF shit or some fucking awful app game

How the fuck do they expect Santa to gift them an app? FNAF stuff is fine, at least there are toys of it. But apps?? Sounds like they already stopped believing and can "be mature" by accepting a pair of socks instead.

Then maybe they'll see that growing up too fast is a very bad thing.

Who the fuck does it depress? I've never met a single person who was adversely affected by finding out Santa wasn't real. As a matter of fact I've only felt sad for kids who never believed in Santa because their child hood was void of that excitement. Writing santa and getting a reply or watching the news on christmas eve for a report by NORAD about santas flight plan. Waking up to see the cookies and milk you left out are eaten. Its not a traumatic experience at all, and its worth doing for the kids. Stop with your war on Christmas!

Because Santa is fun for kids and by the time they find out it's okay.

Also Christmas is easy to take for granted when you're around your family a lot and there for the stupid celebration stuff. Spend a Christmas or two away and you'll learn to love it.

Unless you've got bad relations with your family. In which case replace them with close friends.

Oh yeah, being older helps too.

>Being on the naughty list so long you convince yourself Santa just doesn't real

>Stop with your war on Christmas!
No, fuck christmas. Nothing but lies and corporate bullshit.
>Also Christmas is easy to take for granted when you're around your family a lot
S-shut up

>it ultimately makes people depressed and upset around the holidays when kids find out hes not real?
if you think santa is the reason ppl are sad around the holidays, you're a confirmed middle schooler

The whole "Christmas" thing is a bunch of pagans in the north shitting themselves every year, because they remember of that ONE year when the sun did not return and winter lasted for many months.

>just as bad as islam
the quran doesn't have a new testament stating that the old laws are basically rendered obsolete after the comming of the messiah

nor it tells you that infidels are okay to have around and don't inherently deserve beong slaughtered

The new testament still considerd the old testament laws viable. Fuck off, you just cant admit your religion is just as bad and the world would be better off without both of your shit kind.

>tfw was a slow kid but at least I was smart enough to know santa doesn't real

>turning down an opportunity to celebrate just because muh corporate evil made up celebration
shiggy diggy doo

keep in mind that alot of the people who genuinely think like this are college cachimbos who ironically also smoke

Did kids actually believe in Santa? I didn't know a single kid who did. I thought it was one of those things cartoons and media try to push about kids like the shit about little boys thinking girls are "gross"

>try to push about kids like the shit about little boys thinking girls are "gross"
>TFW my only friends in school were girls and boys bullied me for being a girl
I guess thats why i dont hate trannies because i understand their pain

I prefer the traditional English version of Father Christmas; basically a jolly old man comes around to encourage people to stoke the fire high, bring out the booze and good drink and generally have a good time.

>The world would better without the enlightenment, liberal values and scholasticism.

"Rational" Atheist my arse. Also fucking learn Christian theology.

>Why do so many cartoons spread the God myth, even though it ultimately makes people depressed and upset around when they find out hes not real?

>Ephesians 2:15
>He has abolished the law with it's commandments and ordinances, that he might create himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace"

Not to mention the BIBLICAL EVENT that was Jesus forgiving marie magdalene from being stoned.

Do you honestly don't get why you don't see christians stoning women or beheading infidels or killing themselves in the name of holy war anymore?
I'm a fucking atheist dude, and i know about this shit because when i was an angsty teen i too looked for excuses to shit on christianity, then realized they're peaceful as fuck as a major religion with only buddhaism surpassing them.

Pic related.

>using a fedora meme in an argument about santa
This website would be better off banning anyone whos a christfag

If you can't just be glad you have an excuse to celebrate being with your family and friends, even just for a day, I feel sorry for you.

i'd want every tumblr or lgbt faggot to go too but nobody gets what they want, pal.
get over it.

Those things would still exsist in some form without it, fuck off
That could mean alot of things, and since most christians dont consider the old testament void it makes your point invalid

>hating fuccbois and traps on Sup Forums
What are you, a faggot?

>basically a jolly old man comes around to encourage people to stoke the fire high
Seems counter-productive for him

Ghost of Christmas Present makes a lot more sense now.

Why does Santa literally be a real, flesh-and-blood person to matter to some people? I've always seen him as more of some memetic icon like Superman - just some larger-than-life, conceptually great idea about a guy with a bunch of whimsically magical lore behind him who's devoted his entire being to generosity so completely that it never even occurs to him that he gains no monetary compensation from it (besides milk or cookies, but that's more of just what keeps him going). He's the guy who comes hell or high water every year to make your Christmas fucking awesome, and inspires at least some kids to shape up their act since he's usually portrayed to labor under a "nice until proven naughty" kind of mindset.

He doesn't really have to exist. If anything, his nonexistence ought to be the kick in the ass for some people to emulate him so he WOULD exist at least in spirit. He's the hope and wonder that your parents gave you in your youthful anticipation for Christmas Day, and he ought to be the torch you pass onto your children, and the exceptional seasonal kindness you extend to your friends, and significant other, anyone who really matters to you, or even a perfect stranger who'd never see a random act of kindness coming. He's a lesson in generosity, and the good it does to receive as well as it is to give.

>completely ignores how jesus basically goes around shitting on the old laws and forgiving anyone who's sorry enough

okay, it's time for you to admit it.
you're just gay and pissed at them because the most aggressiveness they've had for literal centuries is directed at you.
that's also the reason for the comparison to islam, except islam actually DOES kill gays.

>having a problem with submissive little fags
no, i have a problem with the obnoxious loud annoying wankstains nobody wants to fuck

there's a difference

>because the most aggressiveness they've had for literal centuries is directed at you.
Yes, how is that not a reasonable reason to hate them?
>except islam actually DOES kill gays.
Yeah, because christians NEVER did that before

>nature dying

It’s not dying user. Life is merely going into a temporary dormant state to conserve energy. Sure, some dong last but most wildlife will. Watch Bambi two.

Also if you go to /an/ and they’ll tell you the same.

...

haha holy flaming fuck i knew it.

Stay in your bubble believing the situation is just as bad as it used to be, now that i know it's a personal issue there's no use in arguing.

Just because global warming isnt a “kill all life” scenario doesnt mean mass exentincion or rising temperatures are a good thing. I do wish i could travel a few million years and see what fucked up shit evolved in our technological filled environment, sorta like “the future is wild” but with animals having to adapt to a coruscant planet city like environment

>because i have personal problems with it makes my argument invalid
Keep using bullshit logic to justify your awful religion, christcuck.

This nigga getting down on the spirit of christmas.

rock on my man

I wasn’t talking about global warming or climate change, I was referring to winter.

But I do agree with you there buddy. This shit sucks

Oh, fuck sorry

It’s ok

"Couldn't have said it better myself" is an understatement.
What i could've said would be steaming shit compared what you said.

Jolly great job.

Yeah, i just wished their was a way to reverse the process and save all the remaining creatures on the planet. The only upside to this is some freakish shit is going to evolve to compensate for the rapidly changing enviroment, but ill be long dead until any of that happens unless time machine tech is available for use for the public in my lifetime.

No, they wouldn't. They didn't emerge anywhere else in the world and they emerged solely out of Christian theology.

Precisely; that's what it's based on. It was much more common in Britain up until the 1950s or so; add to this that Santa Claus was merged with him in pop culture around the 1880s and so.

Now Santa has pretty much taken over, but I prefer Father Christmas.

>implying something along the lines of those things didnt exsist under different names
>implying they wouldnt have come out eventually through societal progress
Your joking

gutenberg.org/ebooks/16769

Here. Have some Babby's first apologist.

>When you believe in Santa but find your parents putting things under the tree instead of growing out of it or having your parents tell you the truth directly

Shit messed me up for a bit.

>Historical inevitability.

There is no reason for any of it to have occured; it occured in one part of the world emerging out of the unique theological and philosophical conditions of Christian thought. There was nothing like it before in Human history and nothing quite like it emerged else where.

Humanism, Socialism and even Secularism arose out of the Christian tradition.

>When you mostly believe in Santa, learn about laxatives about a month before Christmas, formulate a plan to lace his milk with them so he'll have to stop off in your shitter where you can prove he's real once and for all, pull it off, and get dragged out of bed and beaten so hard you can still feel it 20 years later
Shit messed me up for a bit.

Ironic since you call me a baby while you childishly believe in the christian god
There is no way those concepts would not have emerged eventually and you are a fool to think otherwise

You deserved it.

I laughed a lot from this, thank you.

>because i have personal problems i will keep deluding myself into believing a religion is inherently bad because a portion of it's members don't support gay couples (even though the pope himself supports them publically)
Haha what a faggot , also i already stated that i'm an atheist lgbtcuck.

>There is no way those concepts would not have emerged eventually and you are a fool to think otherwise
it took a fucking world war to establish the geneva convention.

More like the vagina convention

Oh great more global warming nonsense.

Climate change deniers are the most willfully stupid people on the planet.

Its more then just the gay problem, and if i see all the ones in a group are bad then ill hate them. Ironic you call me out in that thought process when you probably use the same process about blacks
It still wouldve come out eventually, your point doesnt stand

Linus/10 good sir

kek
also, nevermind...
it took TWO world wars.

>not beliving in global warming
Yeah fuck science, everything trump says is true. A bunch of degenerate redneck coal moners whod be better off gassed deserve their job more then the planets wellbeing

NO one denies climate change. But this isnt the first time in earths history that this has happened. We may have sped it up but it was coming either way. Worse thing civilliazation changes/ goes out. Life will continue on and I doubt the earth will be uninhabitable in the future.

You are scientifically correct, however that is how others often mistakenly view it and make themselves depressed.

They think that leaves gone and dead flowers = total death instead of just dormancy. I guess some people are just greedy for plant life year round other than evergreens.

>you probably use the same process about blacks
>i know because i have the same thought process about shit
>this is coming from an lgbt fag

Irony like this should be funny but it's actually pretty sad.
I hope you're underage so at least you can grow out of it, despite being gay and all.

>But this isnt the first time in earths history that this has happened.
We certainly worsend it and its our fault a shit ton of life is going to die because of us
Thats literally the same process everyone uses when they hate a group, you hypocrtical homophobic fuckhead

Not agreeing with him but it does show how stupidly brainwashed you are if you think these problems concern global warning rather than the value of human life and protection of the ecosystem.

Fags like you are okay dumping their taxes into climate change research while the rest of the world dies from being poisoned directly.

>We certainly worsend it and its our fault a shit ton of life is going to die because of us

I think you overestimate how much impact we have. Fossil Fuels wont stay in the atmosphere forever. I do wonder about that ozone layer. Either way nothing lasts forever. Just gotta enjoy things while you can.
