[Cronos]

Sorry. I don’t think the God of the universe looks kindly on sharing His services with false gods.

But the false idols aren't being worshipped here.

If you think you can justify combining a Indian ceremony which honors false gods with a holy Christian service for the sake of getting along you're talking to the wrong person. We are commanded to be not conformed to this world (Romans 12:2).

This is a LOT different than Santa Claus. This is a celebration worshipping false gods. For Christians to even give the appearance of going along with this especially in a worship service is SINFUL.

If we worshipped Santa Claus I would say the same thing.
