Religion / Drunk Put Christ Back Into Christmas... By Killing Santa
Posted by Patrick Alan Coleman on Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 4:07 PM
Often around this time of year I ask myself, "Why isn't Christmas about Jesus wielding a double barrel shotgun?" Honestly, that would be more interesting than the star and the shepherds and the BLAH BLAH BLAH zzzzzzzzzz. Apparently Ron Lake of Nipomo, CA, agrees with me. I mean, what's more compelling than the thought of our Lord and Savior hunting down and killing a man trying to bring presents to good boys and girls all over the world? That's a rhetorical question, of course.
