Bible Bashers Say: Santa-Satan? Really!  |
| |
| Be careful, Mylotters - apparently our portly, friendly little Santa is actually Satan, popping down your chimney into your home on Christmas eve, to infect your childrens minds with evil! Apparently, according to some particularly insane God botherers, Santa is Satans creation, as he has "no beginning and no end", wears the same colour as Satan, and his name is an anagram of Satans name. They also assert that Santas surname, Claus, comes from the old English for hoof claws. Ok, first point - there is a beginning to Santa Claus, namely St Nicholas, who sold his inherited wealth to provide for the poor and needy, and was known for particular kindness to children. His name was pronounced Sänt Neeklaus, and us Westerners changed it, to Santa Claus. That's how simple it is, really. Second, prior to Clement C Moores poem, The Night Before Christmas, Santa was envisaged as being dressed in green. It is the popularity of this poem which has dictated his charicature as a fat, jolly, little man dressed in bright red, and has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with the burning red of the fires of hell. Honestly! Third, well I think I explained that in the explanation of where his name came from - St Nicholas; a man who devoted his entire life to God, if you must know, not the devil. And fourth, I've already answered as well. But a fifth point has to be mentioned here as well - HE'S A FICTIONAL CHARACTER! Got that? He is entirely made up for the purpose of making this time more magical for kids everywhere. That's all! I agree that rampant consumerism is all too apparent at this time of year, but most people have the idea that it's a time for Christmas spirit, kindness and generosity as well. Maybe we need to concentrate on that side of things a bit more, and spending as much money as possible, a bit less, but there's no evil involved in Santa. So let the kids have it, their magic time, leaving whisky out for Santa, and a carrot for Rudolph , let the parents have the fun of printing icing sugar bootprints on the floor, and celebrating the fact that they have children in their lives. Maybe this year, all you religious zealots out there who are determined to turn something innocent and magical into something evil and wicked, should do yourselves a favour, and ask Santa for a couple of sessions in a psychiatric unit! | | | | | |

| | Hiya Oreo, I have an Aunt who is a Jehovahs Witness and she loves me to bits and I love her to bits. We never mention each others beliefs for anything we just natter about us instead of all the other stuff. Before I moved I also used to get on great with another Woman who is a Jehovah Witness I really don´t know why this is. I just accept at face value them being as they are. | | | |

| | Hi Oreocookie. Absolutely, that's the way it should be - live and let live. There seem to be some people who are determined to see evil in everything though, as you mention. They must have miserable lives! Lol! | | | |

| | My personal opinion is they are both stories for children. And if y'all want to lie to your children, go right ahead, I won't attempt to stop you. | | | | | | |

| | Hiya Alice, The few adverts I half watch and not were showing a Campaign to give toys to Children in other parts of the World. This was on last year but I really think that it is not the Spanish Government itself who does this it´s the local Government of Catalunya where Barcelona is. It´s a really great idea but no one knows where to give to or send to as they never say. They just keep saying give but you don´t know where and how. Anyway I hope they I hope they get their Toys wherever they are. They send these Toys all over the World to any Country. Our Christmas here lasts until the Sixth of January hence the real belief is in the Three Wise Men known here as the Three Kings. So this is why this campaign has only just started. | | | |

| | Hiya Alice, Again just to say that I would not lock you up. If I were in Britain I would bring back the Celebrations that lasted until the Sixth of January like before. Maybe if I go back they will try to lock me up? I think all that kind of restrictions is ludicrous. | | | |

| | that is ridiculous. and what on earth are hoof claws anyway? i read this on a spoof site but apparently there are some people who really believe this. here's the link to the satirical site: http://www.landoverbaptis... | | | | | | |

| | Hi, Jb. From what I've read, hoof claws was just an old fashioned description of hooves. I liked the site, but to be honest, having read some of the real sites, it took me a while to convince myself that the writer was being satirical! It's only slightly less hysterical than the actual santa hating sites. I so want to get that book now though. oops, there I go, coveting again. | | | |

| | I've just looked at that site again, and it's the nutty handover baptists site! They DO believe that stuff, Jb! Have a look on their forum. Some crazy people there. | | | |
