I might even be tempted to believe in God if an asteroid would strike squarely in the center of their congregation.

"you tell your kids Santa is real, when you know that is a lie"

But they tell their kids god is real, bahahahaha.


Santa gave me some pretty cool shiz when I was a kid, still waiting for that lazy SOB god to step up and at least match his effort.....

Santa is a i love you? That explains a lot. It's kind of amusing to see anti-Christmas Christians because of the pagan origins of the holiday.

This is why videos like this make me angry. You are wrong and it's obvious that you've had very limited interaction with real Christians. Sad, really.
 
I was once raped by santa when I was a kid. I thought I was the only one, but now that the truth is out there, it's time to let the healing begin ::cries::

I don't think you can classify those people as Christian. Anybody can look at the bible (whether you believe in it or not) and then what they do and realize that what they do doesn't not resemble what Christ actually taught in any way, shape or form.

These people are just twisted. I'm surprised nobody shot them when they were protesting at soldiers' funerals.

The protest signs in that video were just ridiculous. What does sexuality have to do with idolizing santa claus? 😕

Santa's shoving a big gift in your stocking this Christmas, and it ain't coal.



 
BTW, great episode on This American Life this week about the church life. It's called Heretics.

304: Heretics

The story of Reverend Carlton Pearson, a renowned evangelical pastor in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who cast aside the idea of Hell, and with it everything he'd worked for over his entire life.

Prologue.

Carlton Pearson's church, Higher Dimensions, was once one of the biggest in the city, drawing crowds of 5,000 people every Sunday. But several years ago, scandal engulfed the reverend. He didn't have an affair. He didn't embezzle lots of money. His sin was something that to a lot of people is far worse: He stopped believing in Hell. (2 minutes)

Act One. Rise.

Reporter Russell Cobb takes us through the remarkable and meteoric rise of Carlton Pearson from a young man to a Pentecostal Bishop: from the moment he first cast the devil out of his 17-year-old girlfriend, to the days when he had a close, personal relationship with Oral Roberts and had appearances on TV and at the White House. Just as Reverend Pearson's career peaked, with more than 5,000 members of his congregation coming every week, he started to think about Hell, wondering if a loving God would really condemn most of the human race to burn and writhe in the fire of Hell for eternity. (30 minutes)

Act Two. Fall.

Once he starts preaching his own revelation, Carlton Pearson's church falls apart. After all, when there's no Hell (as the logic goes), you don't really need to believe in Jesus to be saved from it. What follows are the swift departures of his pastors, and an exodus from his congregation?which quickly dwindled to a few hundred people. Donations drop off too, but just as things start looking bleakest, new kinds of people, curious about his change in beliefs, start showing up on Sunday mornings. (23 minutes)

Postscript: Carlton Pearson renamed his church after the story was produced: It is now called New Dimensions.

That's how most religions throughout history have recruited new members. Get the kids to sing and they'll stick around.
