Tell the kids that Santa's a myth, but don't let the little darlings
see him on a (gasp) 'bent!

Well Santa and a Christmas tree is certainly religious, but Pagan in
origin...Christmas can be described by some as somebody's birthday but
it is a commercial holiday, observed with gusto in places like Japan,
which is mostly Shinto.

Didn't like the 'bent, don't like any in your face Christian
references. We can bend this thread to how many have died in the name
of religions, or how many have suffered and suffer today, or how
organized religion is all about power, greed, guilt, money....but maybe
not.

Nothing personal, Peter, but you clicked on the link. There's no
guarantee that you are going to like it.

Here's the link:

I really don't see an "in your face" Christian reference -- just a small
little notation in the bottom corner (that I thought was maybe a joke at
first, like "Lance 7:05" or something).

The 'bent was humorous, I thought, drafting off all the "real" bikes.

Still is, only now people practice Consumerism and pray to the
Mastercard, the Visa and the American Express.

I think the guy who's birth is celebrated this time of year would
agree with you on all counts. Especially the 'bent thing. ;-)

Frank Zappa, Beethoven, Mozart, me, and my next door neighbour?

Sure. We'll use any excuse to celebrate anything.
It's the Sagittarian thing to do.

The original Saint Nicklaus had the right idea.
Suprising people with nice stuff that they could
really use is kewl. I like people.


cheers,
Tom

Forcing reindeers to ride bicycles is animal cruelty.

Calling an overwieght man "fatboy" sounds like hate speech to me.

Didn't ask for a guarantee and there is nothing that says I gotta bow
to the idea that some biblical reference is always a good thing. A
little research as to how the bible was writtten, by whom, and why is
great reading. Now there is an excercise in power, greed.

You pays your money and you takes your chances with links, though.
Probably few people would have even noticed the "Luke 2:11, 12 thing" if
you had not quoted it.

"Religion is the opium of the people." Which Marx brother said that? ;-)
