THE KING OF CHRISTMAS

   Religion is a non-living institution.  It has no love because it has no heart and it has no heart because it has no life. But people will give their lives to it because they believe it will give them eternal life.
   Religion is a hollow tube, closed at both ends, and the only way people believe it is real is because of the power that abides in the minds of human imagination.
   Just as young children will believe in Santa Claus, they will also believe in the idols of religion when fed into their minds in early childhood; for young children do not know the difference between the real and the unreal, nor the difference between the living God and non-living entities.  To them, there is no difference between Santa Claus and idols.
   For this reason, religion desires the children of parents, separated from them in downstairs classrooms for the purpose of religious indoctrination, which is the same as programmed mind control:  to get to their minds early and to keep them in lifetime memberships as slaves of religion.
   But people, moreover, will decorate religion just as they decorate their homes with Christmas lights and make religion look alive and attractive, thereby deceiving themselves to believe that religion must be a wonderful place to be simply because it is warm, cozy, and comfortable.
   In the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve saw the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
      "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her; and he did eat."  (Genesis 3: 6)
   When people see things that dazzle their minds, their eyes pop open like pancakes.  They are quick to consume it, after which they desire to share it with others with them, such as their wives, their husbands, and their children. 
   Surely this is a deal that is too good to pass me by!
   When people see the magnificence of regal splendor in the physical engineering of temples, shrines, and cathedrals, their minds are dazzled and their eyes pop open like pancakes.
   When people see men who appear as holy men, dressed in fancy suits and priestly garments, their minds are dazzled and their eyes pop open like pancakes:  after which they treat them as gods upon the earth, walking among them, as they kneel to them and call them holy.
   Christmas is also the season when the minds of people are dazzled by the things they see and their eyes pop open like pancakes, especially the eyes of young children:  after which they will actually believe that Santa Claus is coming to town.
   Since young children will believe that, they will also believe in idols on the walls as well as believe that the souls of dead people can answer prayers.
   Religion is a tree that grows in the garden of cities and neighborhoods, and it is a tree that looks "good for food", a tree that is "pleasant to the eyes", and a tree that is "desired to make one wise".  It dazzles human minds and the eyes of people pop open like pancakes:  after which they "eat of the fruit thereof".
   The imaginations of Adam and Eve were opened in the garden of Eden and they responded with the minds of young children without parents to keep them away from the house of religion.
      "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise from the east to Jerusalem, saying, 'Where is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him'.(Matthew 2:  1-2)
   Wise men still seek Him and we crown Him, the King of Christmas.
   This year, give Christ for Christmas:  the gift of God that keeps on giving.
