Also, when I saw Thor and Freya streets driving on I-90, I realized it was time to put the hammer down.

Santa seemed like a God to me when I was a child. I still believe in him today. Superman has a lot of god-like qualities.

I never worshipped Santa.
I always treated him as a saint when I believed in him. Expected miracles from him & asked him for things but knew he wasn't God.
Some religions need to stop treating admiration as if it's worship. It's ok to admire people who aren't God. It's ok to see God's greatness reflected elsewhere.
Actually, i think it was Nietzsche, who wrote about his Übermensch, aka Superman.
He had a big influence on the Nazis, anarchism and even Zionism.
The concept of Nietzsche's Übermensch may have been inspired by other historical religious beliefs.
The Nazis coopeted the simple idea of the Ubermensch into their political ethos, but they had a very shallow and superficial understanding of Nietzsche's philosophy. After all, it was Nietzsche who had called Anti-Semitism the philosophy of those who feel cheated, and had asked the Kaiser to banish all Anti-Semites from Germany.
That's his sister's fault and very sad. His sister was an anti-Semite and trashed his reputation by telling people after his death that it was promoting proto-Nazi stuff. She and her anti-Semite husband had control of his estate.
He was pretty much anti-anti-Semite in an era when it was popular to be anti-Semitic.
I never had anybody claim that Santa Claus (or Superman) are gods to be worshipped.
It’s more like Santa Claus is admired for being a toy-giving old man who also has some sort of perception into how naughty or nice individual children are (some sort of omniscient quality).
And Superman.....is admired for his super powers and sense of justice. Certainly not worshipped like a god.
Even kids know Superman is made up.
Once they get the idea in their heads of what fiction is anyway.
Spot the Dog and Elmo are more appealing to them than Superman before that age.
I used to be terrified to go to Pantos before that age. Imagine - not knowing baddies weren't really baddies but were actors and being prepared to be in the same theatre as them... I kept thinking they might come off the stage & attack me...
Agape Love Never Requires Worship or Fears Criticism;
Indeed, it is the Anti-Old-Testament-Demagogue-Trump God
And The Anti-New-Testament-Demagogue-Bad-Cop-Jesus-God too;
Yet We See Or Perhaps We Don't; the Meek Inherit the Kingdom of God Heaven Within, Agape Love;
The Higher Force Within in Autotelic Flow to Give and Share Free That Will Be Experienced As Verb in
A Free Flow Meditative Dance or Even a Song that is A River as the one i am Writing Now Water
Wave Ocean Whole
Just Another
Breath
of A Sea Breeze
And A Wave Changing
The Shores of the Beach i am; Yes,
SPeaKinG of Beach; It's Really Disgusting,
The Beautiful Beach And the One According to
Family Legend That My Great Uncle And Great Grandfather
Helped Named "Navarre Beach"... the City Council Here Is wanting to Change
The Name of the Bridge to the Beach In 'Worship' Of a Man on Record With the
Most Deceit and Lies Holding Office of the President; and the Only One to Attempt
To Overturn A Legally Held and Verified Election As Such to Destroy Democracy,
Worshipped As He Is Doing this As Minions Follow Most Despicable Leaders
Throughout HiStory; Yes as that Series of Movies Parodied the Demagogue
Archetype And Sheep Archetype that Follow With Only Directions the
Demagogue Brings...
Living Where i Live
In Trump
Town
USA, Wanting
to Name A Bridge
to Real Paradise Beach
By the Most Despicable Leader
in Empirical Measure of Science
The United States has ever Witnessed...
It's really not Hard to Understand Now Why Folks Go to Church
And Kneel to A Man And A God THere, WHere THere is A Version
That Promises to Love You Forever; ALWAYS All Forgiving; Turning The Other
Cheek to this Extent; And Loving The Enemy As Much as One's (God) Self as Neighbor....
Yet, if You Screw up
According to 'Matthew'
Just A Pen Name With Innumerable
Different Ghost Authors Contributing to that
Pen Name that one will learn all about at any
Real Accredited University Divinity School For PHD Level Success;
Yes That Part of the Story, Says, If you Do Not Give the Shirt Off Your
Back to the Homeless Man on the Street You are Separated As A Goat
And Burned forever which of Course Seals the Destiny for almost Every Christian i've
Met From Here...
All i Will say
Is They Better
Hope it's just a Story
For if they ever find out
It's really real, Their Destiny Is Sealed Forever Already in Hell....
Yet of Course that is the Bad Cop Version of Jesus and God the Same;
The Same Demagogue Human Archetype of what the Current Head of the
Country Firing Chief is All About Now too; And When i was Young and
Saw the Photo of a Man With a Beard Over my Bed At Christmas Nights;
It Wasn't hard to See the Origin of that Man coming From the
Same Place
As Santa
Dividing the Naughty
Into the Goats and Nice into
Sheep to Receive Gifts As Rewards
For Being Do-Gooders too; Virtue is, Virtues Are,
A Better Approach would be to Teach the Children
That The Receiving as far as How the Nature of Humanity
Works is the Actual Intrinsic Altruistic Reward of The Giving;
WHere the Aim is To Become LoVE iNCaRNaTE And Just empty
Your Pockets
And Give
Love
Not
Much Different
Than A Homeless Man
And or Woman, if you've taken
The Opportunity to talk to one of these
Folks Who are sick and tired of all the lies,
Just Returning to Nature to Live off the Kindness of Humanity...
The Part
that
Gives,
The Part that
Naturally Receives when
We Give for this is the lesson
Every Homeless Jesus Provides
For You See, if We Don't Give Now,
We Just don't Receive 'the Christmas Gift Within'....
I'm Not Impressed with Modern Superheroes;
All they Teach is they Have the Bigger Bomb on the
Street to Prove Might Is Right; THere are more interesting
And Rewarding
Ways to
Be LoVE iN Life...
And in the NeWest Version
of Superman that was intentionally
Modeled After the Myths of Jesus, the same
Way Guardian's of the Galaxy Was initially done
too when the First Movie wasn't Killing Anyone
And the Superpower was MoRE A Dance And Song...
We Seem to Fall Back On the Sword; Yet, Perhaps We See the
Meek Come From Men And or Women Who Develop Enough
Fearless Confidence in Just The Way They Walk that they Never need
to Get in a
Fight
for
What others
intuit A Peaceful
Eye of a Hurricane
Has the Potential to Bring
In The Strike of a Silent Cat in Fury
of what will come next...
It's true;
Silence
Speaks Most;
The Eye of A
Hurricane; The Center
Of A Galaxy; The Force; the
Higher Power (Chi) the Meek We
Most all have the potential to Tap
Into and really feel like We are Living
Forever now Eternally in Peace and Harmony
of Agape Love to Give, Share, Free to All; Yet 'You' See
The Homeless
Man and or Woman
On the Side of the
Street or
Under
the 'Trump Bridge
to Paradise' have already arrived...
They don't even need to Say A Thing...
If We Understand Where They Are Coming
From By The Windows of THeir Soul....
Worship is the Giving That is
The Receiving
A Lion
And
Or Lioness
Need Never Bow
Or Humans Who Stand As God This Force Within....
Yeah, It's Funny At The Dance Hall Folks Assumed i had
to be on Some Kind of Drug to Generate All that Energy
To Make 240 Pounds or So Float Across the Floor;
Yet When they Approached me to test
Me as Some Dudes try to Prove
Their Manhood, the
Winds Stopped
And All that
Is/Was left
Motionless
Was/Is 'Me' (Yes, God
Within 'Me', Higher 'Force';
Eye of Hurricanes; Center of
Galaxies (Chi) All Around Now
No Separation When Breathing)
Some of the Dudes Were Literally
So Afraid they Literally Ran From
The
Eye
of A Hurricane;
Yet, it's true i have
Plenty of Online Evidence
to Show What Hurricanes, Galaxies,
Will Do, if They Didn't Already
Get A 'Silent Night Message'....
No.
Super Heroes
And Made Up
Demagogue
God's Don't Impress me;
The Story of Buddha is Pretty
Cool; He Tried His Best to Disappear
And Never Be Worshipped As an Idol;
Yet 'You' See, the
Archetype
of the
Human
Sheep Also Abides too....
So Yes, Folks Continue to
Bow to Different Idol Forms,
With Idol Names of 'Buddha'
And the
Eye of the
Hurricanes, Center
Of the Galaxies Fade
Blown With The Wind Away....
Kneeling With Empty Windows of Soul....
And Yes, Per 'Beneath the Planet of the
Apes', 'This' is What it Looks Like still in Church
And It's True You Can Call The God And Atomic
Bomb And the Holy Fall-Out All the Demagoguery That Still Comes....
i do Believe in a Greater Force Than 'this' Demagoguery With Associated
Sheep Still abiding....
Yes,
Additionally
Unmasked Fresh
Always For 'The Kill' too
With Lesser Amounts of Human
Empathy For all that is existence now...
i was really Fortunate to 'See' This Scene
in 'the Movie' at 8 Years-Old...
It was a real
Eye Opener
For Eyes Yet closed...
Yet of course my Eyes
Were Deeper Than Most
8 Year-Olds Then And At
3 too as i had the Advantage
Of Not Being Clothed With Words Until 4...
It's practically A Miracle
i am
Speaking
Now... hmm....
And that all came
From 66 Months
Of Hell Within too
As True Black Holes
Vary in Intensity of Effect too for what comes next...
