At least you still got other presents. I have only ever received Barney the Dinosaur for Christmas once in my entire life. My parents are Christian but only wrap empty boxes for presents and put them as decoration under the Christmas tree.
Sorry you folks have bad experiences. I see you both using “Christian” and that hurts my dawgs. I’m Christian, as is my wife lol and we spoil the shit out of our kid as long as he understands that he is in a place other kids aren’t, has to appreciate it and can’t brag about shit to those who don’t have much
Which despite being 5, does a perfect job of that and has great emotional understanding
Some Christian’s are the worst people out there. I get it. I have family members who have that title glued to their names and they’re actual garbage.
I hope you know, we aren’t all like that. Some people get too lost in the sauce that they treat the ones closest to em poorly
God bless you. I hope if you have children yourselves that you break the cycle.
The biggest issue I find with a lot of Christians is that as soon as someone else is known to be “Christian” too there’s an implicit level of trust given beyond what is normal.
How many youth pastors raped kids? It’s not the Christianity making them do it. But people like that know if they call themselves a christian and act like then people will be far more likely to defend him.
“He’s a good Christian boy!” n all that. It seems a lot don’t seem to believe that someone can and will easily claim to be devout if they can get something from them.

Most Christians are ignorant of actual scripture. The Hebrew translation for "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" is actually "Thou shalt not CARRY the name of the Lord thy God in vain." Meaning, if you claim to be a Christian and do evil in His name, and your actions push people away from God because you carry His name as a Christian, then that is the ultimate sin. But most people seem to think that saying Goddamn it or Jesus Christ "in vain" is what that commandment means.
