Yep. The irony of one fairy-tale peddler lecturing others on fairy tales is pretty rich... and, I'm sure, right over the pastor's head.

Im shocked this has almost 200K views, so how many people here would do that to a line full of kids waiting to see Santa at the mall?

It's sort of odd that the people who are the most upset are the ones who aren't religious.

I love that. Maybe if we had more kids realistically understanding that Santa is imaginary, we'd end up with fewer adults denying evolution and global warming.

He's as bad as people who take offense at Christmas trees and Christian crosses. Fanatics, all of them.

Why would that be at all "odd"? To the best of my knowledge, and memory from long ago when I was a child, Santa Claus is not associated with any religion. I certainly never thought the shopping center Santas were connected with church in any way.

At that point, as a parent, you kneel down to your children, and you say, softly: "I think we need to pray for that poor, scared man -- he's obviously not right in the head, huh?"

I find it rather ironic, that a self serving preacher of whatever gospel he embraced..finds it his duty to shatter the ideal beliefs of innocent children and single handedly try to destroy the "Spirit" of Christmas.

Of course there's been a lot of commercialization of this holiday..BUT CHILDREN have no concept of that. It's a magical time for children ( as for adult faithful to the SPIRIT)..and this IDIOT Pastor chose to cause children experience a very hurtful message!!!

In truth this faux 'pastor" is no more than a "hater" of all children who happen to have an innocent belief in something ..HOW the H3$$ can he ever preach to anyone about believing in something like "GOD" who is based on a faith.. Neither can be proven to all.. yet many do believe there's something much "GREATER" than us lowly humans..who have far too many exhibit violence.. false messaging..and have to nerve to suggest..These ( little ants that crawl the earth" know better.. What a Crock!!

I'm betting this idiot ..has never experienced the joy watching children .. He's in a word a "JERK"!!

Even when I was a small child, I don't ever remember believing Santa was real. They hauled me to church every Sunday, but I don't ever remember thinking Jesus was real either. Not all children are gullible.

That's my point exactly. Christmas is a religious holiday and Santa Claus is irrelevant to it. So the people upset are secularists who are basically just celebrating a random empty day that originated from a religious holiday which they generally oppose and now they're mad? That's funny.
