This is another reason I don't like the "Easter Bunny" or "Santa Clause" or any other ferry story. It makes Jesus Christ look like all the other fairy tale characters.
When we teach children to enjoy these cartoon characters, so much so that we buy gifts supposedly from them, speak of them with fondness and dress up in costumes, we have made those entities very special. Why would a child think anything different about Christ from the Bible, they will think of Him as just another warm fuzzy cartoon character.
Ask a child sometime, who has been raised on all these fairy stores, if he believes in Jesus Christ, any child raised in church will tell you he does. Then ask that same child if they believe in the Easter Bunny or Santa Clause, he will say he believes in them too.
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Conviction of the Holy Spirit Makes People Angry
Have you ever posted something generic with no names or details, but had principles of God all the way through it and someone became angry claiming "that you wrote about them." LOL
Interesting that some people see themselves in the Word of God but their names are not mentioned at all. Why do they think it is about them?
Conviction of the Holy Spirit leaps to mind!...
Proverbs 24:24-25
24
He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
Peoples will curse him, nations will abhor him;
25
But to those who rebuke the wicked will be delight,
And a good blessing will come upon them.
