I thought this should go in Humor because the irony here is just too damn funny. I saw this guy on "Weird US" on the History Channel today and prayed to the FSM that this nut had a website. Turns out he does: http://www.satansrapture.com/santabegone.htm
He has a whole website, but the page I linked to is the really great stuff. The basic message this guy is currently touting is that all children need to be protected from the Santa myth. Whether or not you happen to agree, the way he puts it gave me a good belly laugh:

Quote:

GOD LIKE QUALITIES

First, Santa is assigned the Divine quality of Omniscience, "of Knowing all things, "knowing what children have been naughty or nice.". Then Santa rewards children according to their deeds, just like JESUS does.... hmmmmm.

COMES ON CHRISTMAS

Next Santa comes on Christmas Eve, (Dec 24) The very same night when Christians all around the world believe The Saviour was born in a manger, who is Christ The Lord.

LIES UPON LIES UPON LIES

Next, parents are forced to tell more and more and more lies about Santa as their Children grow older and begin to question Santa, such as "why are people buying so many toys? How can Santa come to our house, we dont have a fireplace?

SHATTERED FAITH

Then one dark day, Children realize that Santa Claus and his magic sled was all just a big fat lie! The very first thing that children ever believed in and hoped in was A LIE!

Again, to make things worse, this lie was told, encouraged, re told, defended and retold by their own parents and grandparents.

Last but not least, the Lie of Santa Claus happens on Christmas Day and is forever linked with and to The Birth of Christ.

If you lie to your children about Santa, why should they believe you about JESUS ????

GUESS WHAT? THEY DON'T!

The level of psychological and spiritual damage done to children by lying to them about Santa Claus is unknown?

Maybe the reason that so many Christians cower and back down when they should stand for JESUS is because, deep down, they are afraid their Faith in Jesus Christ is false, a lie, just as their Faith in Santa was shattered as children?

JUST A FUN GAME???

(emphasis by me on that part before the end)

C'mon Harry, think outside of the box here!

Isn't Santa just a watered-down diety for children, so that they learn the appropriate behavior for worship rituals?

Anyway, a thinking man would not ask, "If you lie to your children about Santa, why should they believe you about JESUS ????"

Rather, he should ask, "Why should they believe you about jesus?"
