This has to be seen to be believed.

How does the mind come up with such things?

Well, good for the police in that town. They aren't interfering.

I think it's a stupid display, and just asking for trouble... but I support the guy's right to do it.

But it begs the question

Who would Jesus kill on Christmas? And if Jesus would kill Santa on Christmas...doesn't that pretty well negate his whole being and mission? Oh no I didn't come to earth to free people from their sins and death, I came here to kill everyone who doesn't believe in me? I am not sure this Jesus isn't part of al Quida.

Why do grown ups have to ruin it for kids just because they want to make some stupid political point in this way? :scratch:

What will it be next time? A twenty foot high sign warning kids that "THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS"? And that will be within their rights also I assume?

Any kid that can read probably already knows there is no actual Santa Claus.

My kids grew up with Weird Al Christmas music like "The night Santa went crazy" and "It's Christmas at ground zero!" . Irreverant treatment of religious themes is nothing new.

Badly thought through, IMO...wouldn't be surprised if parents take matter into their own hands in that town... ;)

If he wanted to make a point about the true meaning and origin of Christmas there are subtler ways to do it. For example one church I know has Santa take part in the Crib service on Christmas Eve, and he kneels at the manger and presents baby Jesus with a present from his sack. [ img ]

Haha. That's funny.

I hope this drives parents to tell their children about the true, pagan meaning of christmas, not that bullshit christian story.

Over the top as it may be, the guy has a valid point.

Maybe I'll set up a display in which Thor violently denounces the secularization of Thursday (with a hammer instead of a gun, naturally). The target's a bit harder to anthropomorphize, though... How about Freya going after a TGIF's instead?

He'll bite its ears off. And then PETA will go insane.

Just sayin Thor carried a hammer...Christ got nailed to a tree. Something to think about.

You should add Odin denounces the secularization of Wodinsday (Wednesday). It's actually kind of amazing how many days are based on Norse gods.

And how many months are based on Romans be it Gods or Ceasars.

It strikes me that this seems to be the case in America. Not so here. Most kids believe up to about age 10 or 11. I've noticed that the more inner city kids find out younger, while the country kids in smaller schools often have to be told before they go to secondary school, in case they get made fun of. My own theory is that it has a lot to do with poverty. The more slum kids you have, the sooner they find out Dad spends money in the pub at Christmas instead of on Santa.

I find it all very sad. Oh, that and the "I won't tell my children lies" holier-than-thou brigade.

At my elementary school, it was the Hindu kids who ruined Santa for everyone. :cool:

Well, Anglo-Saxon Gods to be specific, even though they're direct equivalents or Norse Gods. Of course, given the English language evolved from Anglo-Saxon it isn't odd that the names of the days should come from their Gods. Saturday is the exception, and I've never been able to figure out why it should be named after a Roman God. Which Anglo-Saxon deity got shafted there?

In countries where the language evolved from Latin the weekdays seem to keep the names of Roman Gods. Eg, the French Mardi for Tuesday, both named after the Gods of war in their respective pantheons.
