Do your children sing, "Santa Claus Was, At One Time in the Past, Believed to Be Coming to Town" during the holidays?
Seriously, you're an idiot and waaay out of your league. Go ahead and meltdown for us. It's the only arrow in your quiver.
Yes, because Santa Claus, as a persistent and ongoing legend in our culture, is the same thing as Dionysus, a relatively unknown (considering the fucktards in America) mythological figure. I guess when you listen to all that Iron Maiden and Grim Reaper, you tend to project your inane esotericism upon society as a whole.
Apples and oranges, googlescal. Dionysus is considered an immortal God... to the ANCIENT GREEKS.
Let's do a poll here: how many regulars here at any time thought of any of the Greek Gods as actual deities?

Did you take a look over there... They had a guy post about the US Olympic Curling Trails???? Who would post about Curling let alone Mens Curling?

Yeah, I'm sure they're going to get that reference.
Do you???

The only "effect" demonstrated was your feeble grasp of the English language. Let's consider:
"Dionysus is considered an immortal god to the ancient Greeks."
In proper English:
"Dionysus was considered an immortal god by the ancient Greeks."
Your sentence structure was neither advanced nor did it contain any rhetorical tricks. It was simply wrong. It is entirely appropriate to refer to fictional characters in present tense at the author's discretion.
You may now freely ponder your ignorance.
You didn't get it; sorry.
Perhaps you should rely less on the Queen's English and more on the art of rhetoric and all its nuances.
The verb "is" was employed to start the sentence off as if people NOW feel a certain way about Dionysus. Of course, you took the bait. However, the denouement of the entire mini asskicking was that it is not anybody today but people over 2 millennia ago who believed in the existence of such a deity.
Consider your ass totally and irrevocably kicked, dumbfuck.
I'm surprised you feel that way considering that from Plato to Nitezsche there wasn't a philosopher of any real consequence.
Furthermore, you could throw into the trash practically every single book of political philosophy ever written since Plato and just be left with the Republic and not miss a beat.
Plato was discoursing on his theory of ideas and, pointing to the cups on the table before him, said while there are many cups in the world, there is only one `idea' of a cup, and this cupness precedes the existence of all particular cups.
"I can see the cup on the table," interupted Diogenes, "but I can't see the `cupness'".
"That's because you have the eyes to see the cup," said Plato, "but", tapping his head with his forefinger, "you don't have the intellect with which to comprehend `cupness'."
Diogenes walked up to the table, examined a cup and, looking inside, asked, "Is it empty?"
Plato nodded.
"Where is the `emptiness' which procedes this empty cup?" asked Diogenes.
Plato allowed himself a few moments to collect his thoughts, but Diogenes reached over and, tapping Plato's head with his finger, said "I think you will find here is the `emptiness'."

Some strangers to Athens once asked Diogenes if he would point out to them the great philosopher [meaning Plato]. Diogenes looked around and then led them to the most deserted part of the city and, gesturing to the empty air as one would in formal introduction, said, "May I present to you the great philosopher Plato."

A student of philosophy, eager to display his powers of argument, approached Diogenes, introduced himself and said, "If it pleases you, sir, let me prove to you that there is no such thing as motion." Whereupon Diogenes immediately got up and left.

A philosopher named Aristippus, who had quite willingly sucked up to Dionysus and won himself a spot at his court, saw Diogenes cooking lentils for a meal. "If you would only learn to compliment Dionysus, you wouldn't have to live on lentils."
Diogenes replied, "But if you would only learn to live on lentils, you wouldn't have to flatter Dionysus."

Point it towards SG, once you get there. Thanks.
Diogenes was once invited to dinner by a wealthy man. During the evening, one of the guests became so outraged by Diogenes' general behaviour that he began to throw bones at him, calling him a "dog." Whereupon Diogenes got up, went to the guest, cocked up his leg and urinated on him.
