Santa Claus is idolatry

When someone praises something in an over the top way, to where they depend on it to solve all their problems instead of God, wouldn't that be idolatry? So on this particular holiday, as I see all the parents indoctrinating their kids that Santa Claus is the answer to everything for the kids instead of teaching them God is, isn't that a form of idolatry? They're teaching the kids to believe in a mythical figure for all their needs, so if they believe "Santa" can do all that, why would they need God? (Idolatry? It may be seen as just "innocent fun", but the poison here is in putting the kids' minds on Santa instead of God. The kids are being "good" so Santa can reward them with presents, not avoiding sin for God's sake. But John in Revelation writes, "I saw a Great White Throne and Him who sat upon, from before His face the Earth and Heaven fled away, and no place was found for them." He didn't say he saw a fat guy in a red suit flying with reindeers in the sky. Also, "And whoever's name was not found in the Lamb's book of life, was hurled into the Lake of Fire." Notice it didn't say "Whosever name was not found in Santa Claus book was hurled into the Lake of Fire." Santa Claus is Santa Claus. God is God. A point?

Fast and pray for those you think they are idolatrous. Jesus will show them the way that leads to heaven.

Thou shall not make any idols to worship before Me.... says the Lord. So, let us all worship Jesus above all things. Praise, honor and glorify His holy name. Amen
