Scandinavians prayed that he (and his cohorts - in many countries the attributes of Santa are split over a few characters) would not harm them. "Do no harm to me or mine".
Some of the older traditions still survive. Where I partly live in the Bavarian Alps, below is what you get to see when you meet the 'Klauser' (a la Santa Claus).
He/they run around the street whipping people with birches (see pics). And believe me it hurts!
In the old traditions Father Christmas was no friend to children - he was to be feared!

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs.

Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
