Santa is evil *spoiler warning*

Apparently there's a group out there trying to get ppl to stop ppl from telling therekids that santa is real. How do you feel about telling kids the fat man exists

Santa was good to me, but I'm not rich! What?! :o

I would shoot the person who put that up.

Who the hell has the soul to ruin Christmas like that?

It's not about the gifts, its about the Christmas Spirit!

i think its ok to tell kids about santa. obviously if your family is broke it might make the holidays easier on the family to let the kids know that santa isn't real and thats why he couldn't get the ps3, xbox 360, a psp and 50 games.

Of all the causes the money for that billboard could have gone for, this is what they chose to get torqued up over? Really..?xaos

Why can't people just STFU and not ruin the holidays for everyone.

I don't think they're trying to get people to stop telling their kids about Santa. They just want them to stop telling lies about Santa. Namely, the lie that Santa rewards nice kids, and gives lumps of coal to naughty ones. The lesson here, is that kids shouldn't worry about being naughty or nice... instead, they just need to do whatever it takes to get rich.

He gained an inheritance and was known to be a gift-giver, especially to children whose parents could not afford them gifts. He's always been revered in Orthodox and Catholic traditions. Many Protestants have always tried to stay way from revering saints of past. These days, the idea of Saint Nicholas is mostly commercialized.

I know, right? What are they going to tell us next? >_>

[QUOTE="mindstorm"]The story of Santa Claus is based on Saint Nicholas (aka Saint Nick).

Santa is evil. This BBC articlepoints to the weird origins of the Christmas we know, including how hallucinogenic mushrooms influenced things.

Santa is sexy.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that was in the US somewhere right? It's like when PETA comes up to me and tries to get me to sign something i say "Nope...I'm gonna make sure PEOPLE are treated humanely before I go worrying about someone wearing fur..."

Depending how bad you are you can make money off the coal.

Magic mushrooms aren't evil :x

I'm actually going to disagree with some of what was said in the article especially in regards to the historicity of Saint Nicholas. While I could be wrong, I've never come across anything that would state that he never actually existed. There is even a chance that he literally punched Arius, the one responsible for the Arian Controversy around year A.D. 325.

This articlefrom the Chicago Tribune states that "Many anthropologist types see Santa as a modern descendant of Thor" too.

This Christmas site also suggests: "Most religious historians and experts in folklore believe that there is no valid evidence to indicate that St. Nicholas ever existed as a human. In fact, there are quite a few indicators that his life story was simply recycled from those of Pagan gods."

Do you think religious literature that describes him walking on water and re-assembing the mutilated would also cast any doubt over his existence as a saint?

Yeah, don't most people agree that many of the "saints" were just remodeled versions of Roman house gods?

What do you mean Santa doesn't exist??!

SANTA ISNT REAL!?!?!?!:cry: :cry:curono

What do you mean Santa doesn't exist??!

Yeah like a giant bunny..(i have a feeling that creepers a bear) or a fairy that has some strange fetish for childrens teeth

of course Santa exists. I have to have someone to blame for the coal in the stockings.
