gone already.

Santa Clause is more real than invisible sky dad.

I thought that an armed society was a polite society.

If Santa isn't real, then how do you explain bananas?

Kids, SANTA'S NOT REAL... only God and Jesus Christ are real

I sense that people are shocked by this, but what's the underlying principle?

People often have irrational, reflexive responses to perceived attacks on their OWN cherished beliefs - but I don't think anyone watching this video believes in Santa or thinks that Santa-skeptics "are crazy", so that can't be it. And the offense which viewers are feeling cannot stem from genuine ethical objections over such behaviors, because those taking offense are repeatedly, immediately, even gleefully falling into precisely those same behaviors. So what, then, is wrong with the things the pastor is doing?

I grew up dealing with these assholes.

They literally hated any Christmas decoration that wasn't a cross. Well, I think they would tolerate stars, but the point was moot since decorations were bad. It was van and indulgent to hang lights or ornaments or make your front door look like a giant wrapped present. They didn't even like trees, poinsettias, holly or mistletoe because they were all pagan symbols.

They really hated Santa. And they hated Rudolph, Frosty and any other non-Jesus holiday mascot. These pricks would stand on street corners in their black slacks and white button-down shirts holding up bibles and telling holiday shoppers they were going to Hell. And their wives & children would stand mute behind them holding up white placards with simple black letters that said things like, "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

It's been years since I saw any out in force. For some reason, though, I'm thinking we might start seeing them again.
