Thank you for "Flaming" me, and thus affirming what I believe is true.
So, if the Godly Wash O'Hanley had said "what an excellent point, you're absolutely right", then everything you believe would become false? What kind of a backwards world are you living in?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
Are you talking about the Jihadists?

Denial is often the strongest form of affirmation.
The only evidence for what you say comes from that papist book about Da Vinci. The Holy Bible does not support such nonsense. My guess is that she was Christ's cleaning servant and cook. Women do that kind of thing.
Now, do you have a point to make, or should I just ban you now?
Pardon me, But no.
Let me Quote scripture!
References to Mary of Magdalene During Jesus' Ministry
Luke 8:1-3: Afterward [Jesus] journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.

Luke 24: But at daybreak on the first day of the week [the women] took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb; but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were puzzling over this, behold, two men in dazzling garments appeared to them. They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to them, "Why do you seek the living one among the dead?
He is not here, but he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day." And they remembered his words.
Then they returned from the tomb and announced all these things to the eleven and to all the others.
The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; the others who accompanied them also told this to the apostles, but their story seemed like nonsense and they did not believe them.

Put a Concordance into a naif's grubby, untutored fingers, and this is the predictable result -- a string of citations unleavened by any knowledge whatsoever. Son, are you here for Jesus or not?
Denial is often the strongest form of affirmation.
Denial is also often a way of telling someone they're wrong. My guess is that that may well be what's happening here.

They're all just doing what they think is right, whether or not we think it's wrong. Besides, we kind of do LIVE in AMERICA. They won't limit us if we don't limit them or shove anything down their throats.
THIS is why it's a WAR.
What does Satan/Santa have to do with JESUS?
We should be celebrating HIS birth. Not sending greedy letter to the man in the fat suit, or in this case passed out drunk in a subway.

I hope this answers your silly little question.
I fail to see how scary and drunk pictures of Santa make him bad. There are just as many that are inspirational and jolly.
Unfortunately children are self-centered and do send letters to Santa for the things that they want, but it's not like they're fully aware enough to know better. If that were the case we wouldn't have to raise children- they'd be self-sufficient straight out of the womb.
