In reply to the discussion: The new and improved Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch [View all]happybird
(5,377 posts)27. There was actually a display of a crucified Santa down at our county courthouse several years ago
in the battle over the nativity scene. Protesters argued displays from all religions should be allowed, so weve had several Fetivus poles, Flying Spaghetti Monsters, and some freaky skeleton stuff, among other displays.
The crucified Santa was the final straw and now there are no holiday displays on the courthouse lawn. The battle lasted a few years and it was fun to watch.

I'm with you. Jesus H Christ who are they? Sick, sick, sick. And, I'm a pagan.

Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a float with a dude that probably likes to get tied up. nt

No Jesus Christ on a pogo stick either. Although that is a mental picture.
