Dumbest Thing I've Seen In Years

[Hobbit]

I was about to put this in humor, but it's really not funny how incredibly stupid Jack Chick is. He's only slightly above Fred Phelps on the 'jackass who claims to be a Christian' scale. Here's his latest, a tract that almost surpasses Dark Dungeons in stupidity. It's about how believing in Santa Claus makes you a serial killer.

Edit: For comparison, here's Dark Dungeons, which shows definitively that playing table-top role-playing games will make you join a cult and kill yourself. It even ends with a good, old-fashioned book burning.

It's true in part; Parents should NOT lie to their kids about Santa, and junk

I've always thought that this was a particularly weird part of our culture. Same goes with the Easter Bunny. I'll probably still trick my kids into believing in this mess anyway.

My kids believe in neither - yet both enjoy both holidays. We show santa cartoons to the kids - they get easter bunnies. They know sometimes we make-up funny stories as an excuse to get people to SHOP, for some holidays.

It's not a bad message, but serial killer? That's like those anti-drug commercials that show how smoking pot will make you a terrorist, don't you think?

I remember my sister being angry when she found out Santa wasn't real. However, she did not ATTACK people after that. And she enjoys an AMAZING relationship with Jesus, now.

I don't tell my kids that Santa/Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy are real. We have an excellent book by Harold Myra that explains the origin of Santa Claus, and ties it back to Jesus. Pretty much the same as dmp does, I guess... they know about Santa, but they also know it's a "game."

But there is a Santa Claus. He is a Saint, therefore proven to exist, and he exists in all who give in the name of Christ.

Yeah, but this one was over the top. It's like how Jack Thompson managed to stop being ignored for a couple of minutes when he blamed video games for the VA Tech shooting before the shooter had even been identified.

Tsk, tsk.
