Christmas Satans Claws? Santa Claus??

In the Arrival series, it talks about Holly wood, the wood from Holly trees being used as wands for black magic, and Holly wood being the place where the brainwashing comes from, well......what about christmas??? Circles (wreaths of Holly being put on everyones doors, and what do we have?


The highest instances of depressiion and suicides, domestic violence, divorces, break ups, betraylas etc....the most dangerous time of the year.

People are obligated to sacrifice (gifts) to people they don't really want to, it is so materialistic etc...

People are obligated to travel at the worst time for horrible driving conditions in the snow and ice etc....

NONE of it makes any sense or has a thing to do with the birth of Christ....he never even said to celebrate his birth anyways! :O

I am starting to think christmas is the most satanic time of the year....

Aha! From WIKI en.wikipedia.org...

KrampusKrampus is a mythical creature who accompanies Saint Nicholas in various regions of the world during the Christmas season, especially Austria. The word Krampus originates from the Old High German word for claw (Krampen). In the Alpine regions, Krampus is represented by an incubus-like creature. While Saint Nicholas gives gifts to good children, the Krampus warns and punishes bad children. Traditionally, young men dress up as the Krampus in the first two weeks of December, particularly in the evening of December 5, and roam the streets frightening children and women with rusty chains and bells.[1] In some rural areas the tradition also includes birching by Krampus, especially of young girls. Images of Krampus usually show him with a basket on his back used to carry away bad children and dump them into the pits of Hell.

Modern Krampus costumes consist of Larve (wooden masks), sheep's skin, and horns. Considerable effort goes into the manufacture of the hand-crafted masks, and many younger adults in rural communities compete in the Krampus events.

In Oberstdorf, in the southwestern alpine part of Bavaria, the tradition of der Wilde Mann ("the wild man") is kept alive. He is like Krampus (except the horns), is dressed in fur, and frightens children (and adults) with rusty chains and bells, but is not an assistant of Saint Nicholas.

In the aftermath of the Austrian Civil War the Krampus tradition was a target of Austrian Fascists allied with Nazi Germany.[2]

Santa and Satan.

Both wear red and black.

Both detract from the true meaning of Christmas.

Coincidence????????

I did read the OP. One thing that stood out to me was the comment about Jesus never saying to celebrate his birth. That sort of idea. Um......so what? People can celebrate it or not. Do Christians celebrate the birth of the Messiah at a terrible time of year, in the northern hemisphere, yes. But, no. The weather sucks, but it's not like it interferes with the old timey activities. No gardens to tend to. No harvest, it's already over. It's not time to plant seeds or plow your garden. It's a pretty much dead time when you consider when the birth of Christ crap was set up by the Catholic Church. So, well, just don't go out. Easy, ain't it? Don't fly. Don't drive unless you must. Stay home. Keep warm. Have fun and be safe.




Oh, and dancing naked around a bonfire is not recommened at the end of December. Save that for sometime in the summer. That's when I do it and it's all fun and cool. lol Happy Naked Pagan Dancing to you all on ATS!!!!!!

lol....nekked dancing, might scare some! lol..

I think Jesus's real birth is in August apparently anyways...

lol

'Santa Claus' is derived from 'Sante Klaas' (Niklaas) meaning 'Saint Nicholas.'

Yeah, there is way more to it than that...everyone knows THAT definition....

I couldn't agree more. December 25th is the winter solstice. This date was picked by the Catholic church as a pseudo date for Jesus' birth, because they didn't know the actual date....they also were trying to convert more pagans. The pagans celebrated the winter solstice, so the Catholics married the two, and renamed it Christmas.

But here's the thing...this date is significant for a lot of reasons, to a lot people. The real reason why this date is celebrated is only known to a few people. If you examine old christmas hymns and carols, you might notice some odd wording. If you are familiar with medieval symbolism or alchemical symbolism, a completely different picture starts to emerge as to why this date is/was so important, and why we "symbolically" give gifts in almost a zombie manner every year. No one "gets" what it is really about.

Jesus was born, but his birth was most likely in the spring, since shepherds most certainly would NOT have been watching their flocks by night in the winter. Unchanged traditions in that region clear this up nicely.

Jesus stated twice to his disciples "have I not said ye are gods?" He also stated that they would perform miracles GREATER than his own, and he did teach them to perform the same things he did. This digs into a very touchy subject, but my own research has led me to believe that we ALL have the ability to become a "christ" or a "krystos"....an anointed one. Strict traditions in the east hold on to the idea that the age of the krystos is returning again....meaning, that is it cyclic in nature, and resides within us. Jesus was born one since his astrological alignment was perfectly set up for it - the wise men knew this! But for the rest of us, we need a little help, and the universe lines up every few thousand years to do that. The Bible is steeped in astrological symbolism, so it's not hard to figure a lot of this out.


I believe Christmas itself is a good thing....IF one is learned in the deeper reasons as to WHY it is important. But I don't think that the way it is currently celebrated is a good thing. The birth of Christ on December 25th may very well be the celebration of a future event.....as in, the return of Christ. It is a date, a time frame, that if practiced properly, COULD usher in the return of Christ within us. Most Christians believe that Christ exists externally from themselves as one man, but I beg to differ. The term "Christ" was a title given to a spiritual teacher....an adept in the religious mysteries....one who was able to perform miracles. What most people don't know is that this was a general term, meaning that there was more than one Christ....there were many! The New Testament just happens to be about one who took his practices into the public to teach, and in effect, he did "save the world" with his teachings. A typical Christ would NEVER display a miracle in public, out of fear of the people worshiping them instead of God.

Well, for what it's worth....that's my take on it.

thanks. Very informative, makes a lot of sense.... Also, why would Christ set an example he didn't want us to follow?

edit to add: the simple fact that this time of year exudes our sinful nature is not surprising. It seems we're showing our disobedience everyday...not just during holidays...Thanksgiving inspires gluttony, just to name one....

do we need to work it out for ourselves or are you going to share with the class?

OP, i dunno, i love christmas, i don't think it's satanic at all, it's sad that we're all so dispersed these days that traveling is hazardous, i think it's a bit sad that our communities are so fractured that so many people are left to feel lonely and christmas and it's sad that we're so materially obsessed that expensive meaningless gifts need to be given, but hey, that's progress.

once again i recommended this film:

...that's all public record.. not really a holiday i want any part of

reply to post by ats__fan039


Excellent film! It was weird, I put up the decorations, felt reall funny about it, and then took them all down and put them in a box for the garbage, and felt great....right there obviously my intuition even knows better....

Like I said, it is like a peice of hell creeps in at this time of the year, but I think throwing out all the christmas crap is a strong statement that that hell is not welcome or invited to my home.

the difference is quite outstanding!

DIGG ATS for original content more info Christmas Satans Claws? Santa Claus??

We are such a superficial species.

Nothing against your or your OP but... Christmas is an inanimate abstract taken from a religion that is based on the wholly conceptual. Concepts and inanimate objects can do absolutely nothing without a human to interact.

If a car runs you over, do you blame the car or the driver?

If a crook shoots you with a gun, do you blame the criminal or the gun? (Well, never mind this one. We know that the gun is to blame here, lol.)

If people act like idiots during the holiday season, is the concept of Christmas, or how people behave while stuffing their trunks with material goods, that is to blame?

It is the human touch that corrupts the intangible and immaterial. To lay blame upon the abstract concept is to shirk our own responsibilities and to avoid the consequences of our own actions and behavior.

Merry Christmas

I seriously think you are in need of an evaluation if you honestly believe Christmas is satanic. And, if you are a Christian, you should already know Christ was not born on Christmas day (apparently March)

Never knew it was callous or even satanic to give food to the homeless during Christmas...

the first time i heard the santa claus, satans claws thing was in church when i was a kid. this is used to further indoctrinate people into organized religion. some sects of christianity are real big on word plays acting as if english is the only language. this sort of thing is quite ridiculous. this is an example of people on a witch hunt looking for evil wherever they can find it. what you seek you will find. Satan was\is an angel anyway most likely a cherubim and they do not have claws.

No it isn't wrong to give food during christmas, but what about the rest of the year??
