Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Here's Landover Baptist's take on the matter:

quote:
The Devil Is In Your Chimney!
Is Santa Claus, Satan? (A Special Report Concerning the Origin of Santa Claus)

Freehold, Iowa - Satan's evil plan has created jobs for hundreds of thousands of old lecherous pedophiles throughout this Godly country every December. These filthy homeless hobos just lay on their urine-stained cardboard beds 11 months out of the year, dreaming of Christmas when they can drunkenly traipse into the warmth of departments stores and have innocent little Christian children sit on their vermin-infested laps. Unwary parents happily snap pictures while Satan's obesely wheezing drunks ask their children whether they've been "bad" and whisper lewd suggestions in their angelic little ears with their filthy booze-breath and cigarette-discolored lips. How many unsuspecting tots have suffered a quick grope before Satan's little helper moves on to the next hopeful child in line?

Satan's foul, drunken and depraved, little helpers

At first I thought it was a satire. Then I started thinking about it. It wouldn't be the most insane thing the for Christians. After all, they have yet to lock up Robertson and Farwell. I guess the thong on the main page saying "What would Jesus do?" finally convinced me.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.
- Isaac Asimov

Ya know if I didn't know any better I would think you were saying Santa was'nt real. What are you saying?!?! Do my PARENTS eat the cookies and milk I leave for Santa every Christmas Eve? You're crazy if you think the parents of the world could keep that up!

What's next; the tooth fairy??? She gave me a dollar, PLUS, I saw that she has an illigitimate love child with big foot. The black and white paper at the grocery store told me so.

Ok, seriously though. My parents never told me Santa Clause exsisted, because it takes away a childs thankfulness to whoever gave them the gift. Why buy you're kids presents, and have them thank some fat jolly fellow, who breeds reighndeer, at the north pole? Does'nt make sense to me. :)

Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desire, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.-- C.S. Lewis

See, christians abuse their children by not letting them buy into the santa myth along with all the other kids!


Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.

How many Santa's does it take to have a really good dustup?

quote:
Police called to a mass brawl found an army of Santas punching and kicking each other.

4000, actually.
