Who's that I hear climbing down the chimney? Could it be the ACLU with a gag order? Or maybe it's the AFA with a lump of coal?
Let's face the facts. Christmas is a pagan holiday. It's a pagan celebration so strong and so popular that it defies every effort to modify or suppress it. You can change the name and tack on all the baby Jesuses you like, but it's still the feast of the Winter Solstice, and most of the popular observations can be traced back to pagan origins. We've got the sacrificial tree of Wotan, the feasting of the Roman Saturnalia, the sacred libations of Dionysius, the Yule log that represents the burning corpse of the god of the dying sun, sacred rowan wreaths and mistletoe to ward off evil spirits, a Santa who's a rehashed pagan sky god, and plenty of monetary sacrifices to Mammon.…

Now Im in doubt whether Peter is buried under the Vatican let alone being the so-called first Pope. Asked my loyal catholic brother if a skunk was buried under the Vatican would that be the first skunk. Think the catholic church is a cult. Why not melt all that gold and give it to the poor. Jesus wore almost rags. Think the money changers moved from Israel to the Vatican. What a bunch of pompis piss-ant arrogant deceiving whores. Church of the Petifiles. Bunch of pricks. If things arn't bad enough Dave now tells me their is no Santa. Who the hell as been eating my cookies and drinking my milk all these years. Maybe the pope ya thunk.
