Santa Claus

Forest Hillbilly said:
I watched 'Elf' for the first time yesterday. A bit angry really at the way Santa Claus was portrayed. Will Ferrell turned Santa into some kind of comedy figure, which just totally lacked respect. Although loosely followed the truth.

Watched Passion of the Christ today, and I have to say it was just totally unbelievable. All that Son of God, and all that. Who on Earth is going to believe a fairy tale like that. ?

Let's see if there are any presents on the 25th, or do we think Jesus of Nazareth is due a sequel ?

My money is on Santa. 👍 😎

I asked my missus about the second coming. She said she faked it.

Monkey sex or sushi? What a choice 🤣
 
He’s a drink driving con artist and a nonce. All those parents who’ve paid their fivers to have their kids sit on his lap believing they’re going to get some presents, only for them to buy them in that department store. Then he had the cheek to shoot down every chimney scoffing free beers, glasses of milk and mince pies. No wonder he’s a fat cvnt and never gets round to shaving or getting his hair cut, the liberty taking, begging thief. He’s a typical lying alcoholic in denial. Don’t trust the geezer.

the Druids had a winter Solstice festival long before the Christians robbed the idea. And its prevalent across much of globe, long before christianity. Santa was most likely connected to krampus the Germanic deity.

but you are correct. The lefties seem hell bent on putting their stamp onto everything.

I used to think it was on 25th December to replace the pagan festival but that is apparently false. A religious pal of mine told me pretty much what this site explains…

Why do we Celebrate Christmas on December 25th? — Youth Pastor Theologian

Why do Christians celebrate Jesus’ birth on December 25th, and what can we learn from the reasoning for this traditional date?

Because religious types are really big on historical accuracy. 🙄

Quite a coincidence it’s exactly 9 months to the day after Passover!

I never see the point of debating the details of Biblical stories.

The Bible was designed to present a particular view. Its contents have been selected from various sources, while carefully omitting others that don't fit with the narrative that it's creators desired to present. It has also been translated various times from previous versions.
I've absolutely no doubt that events in the Old Testament relate to real events from various periods in history that have been distorted over time to reflect a religious angle and present 'God' as the primary actor in various scenarios.
In the New Testament we have Jesus doing what Jesus allegedly did and the results of that with the added bonus of the resurrection which was bolted on at a later date to add a bit of religious wow factor.

That wow factor is the basis of Christian religion, including the promise of the afterlife to encourage adherence to Christian dogma.
It cannot be factual, unless it was down to aliens or something we don't understand yet, but irrespective of the supernatural, I always fail to see why a Jewish bloke from the Middle East living 2000 years ago who clearly had very good posthumous PR should have much relevance in 21st century Britain beyond his claimed philosophy and the cultural tradition.
His birthdate is of little consequence, and the history of Christmas just details the human obsession with religion in its various incarnations across the millennia.

If people are still arguing about when Jesus was born rather than facing up to the realities of life, then that is rather depressing.
 
Frankly, I'm beginning to think that Santa doesn't even exist.

On my list to him, I made what I considered to be reasonable and modest requests for a new Bentley Continental and a Riva Tritone speedboat. Very disappointingly he left 5 pairs of underpants, 10 pairs of socks, one pair of pyjamas and a pair of slippers. He clearly had a load of stuff in his box marked "to Grandad" that he needed to offload.

Also, he knows I am partial to a snifter of bourbon whisky and despite there being many brands available he duplicated the Makers Mark. It's a fine whisky, but a variation would have been good. Despite all this he still ate the mince pie, drank the sherry and gave Rudolph a bite of the carrot I carefully left by the fireplace.

Anyway, I'd be interested to know whether he fulfilled your wishes or is it just me he's got it in for?

You should have gone into a life of crime or exploitation if you want those material goods and ignored Santa’s nosy questions on whether you’ve been a good boy or not, which quite frankly adds to the suspicion on him being a perverted paedophile, having kids on his knee, one hand on their leg, asking them if they’ve been good or not.

The alternative, is religion. Which appears to have much the same outcomes, 🙂
