Drunk Santas in Christmas rampage
FORTY drunken Santas rampaged through Auckland, New Zealand's largest city,
at the weekend, stealing from stores and assaulting security guards in a
protest against the commercialisation of Christmas.
Police said some of the Santas threw beer bottles, one tried to climb the
mooring rope of a cruise ship and a security guard was punched. "They came
in, said: 'Merry Christmas' and helped themselves," said one shop worker.
Police said identification was a problem as they tried to sort out which of
the 40 men and women did what.
"With a number of people dressed in the same outfit, it was difficult for
witnesses to confirm the identity of who was doing what," said an officer.

Didn't Jesus change water in wine and not the opposite?

Nonsense. Only a religionist drunk on religious nonsense
would believe water could be turned into wine.

See, this is what happens when fairy tales aren't nipped in the
bud. One myth turns into another (jeebus into santa) and people
use it as an excuse to do this sort of thing.
No xianity, no drunk santas.

Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet J Young
(youngopinions@aol.com) made the light shine upon us with this:
This is the result of atheists insisting that Christmas be secularized.
Exactly what makes you think so?

I'm sure many Catholics will tell how their families got drunk and
rampaged (perhaps not outside) after Christmas services....

I've been to midnight mass on Christmas eve a couple of times, mainly when I
was in my early 20s (always after a friend's parents' party). It's always
full of drunks - Not a very pleasant experience, actually.
