Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

So Santa is more like a simplified and false materialist christianity for children?

Although in Christianity, your works have nothing to do with your salvation. It's your relationship with Jesus and if you trust Him.

The Bible is not 100% consistent on whether or not it is important to be a good person. Most people believe it is important or necessary for eternal joy rather than eternal suffering.
