Vicar tells kids Santa isn't real!
December 18, 2014 at 3:17 pm
We seem to have one every year, here is this year's offering...

Arrogant fantasy believer in telling someone else that their fantasy isn't true shocker.
It would be funny if stuff like this didn't happen every day.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

So he tells children that Santa isn't real, and is forced to apologize. I hope he wasn't also forced to recant, because then in a few years the children will find out that the guy was right all along and was crucified for it... BY THEIR PARENTS.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Just making children cry about Santa isn't as bad as making them commit fellatio.
Irony on a stick.
