[Churchmouse]

What would you say to a person who thinks he can go around your parental rights.

Amen Kwik,

It is not his business to tell those kids things like that.  And as long as the parents tell their children what Christmas is all about, the truth there is no harm in letting them have fun with Santa.

It is the parents choice what they want to tell their children about Santa Clause.

   The more I think about this man the more it bothers me,he certainly would have a big problem if I were there.... I mean it too,his behavior is unacceptable & of course I would have tried to reason with him to have him go his "merry" way but I don't suppose he would be the type to accept "reason" so then I would have called the police who I am sure would have removed him .....that is disorderly conduct,creating av public nuisance & even disturbing the peace........shouting in front of little children that they are being lied to by their patents is absolutely out of order,frightening ,confusing & alarming.......in any State there are a number of valid reasons he could have been arrested ,.......& should have,especially after he was asked to leave several times & said "I'm not leaving"......I would have slapped handcuffs on him so fast his head would spin if I was still a PO.....hmmmph!

   A PASTOR?!!!!!! Well,where are the fruits of the Spirit?

Quote

Galatians 5:22-23New International Version (NIV)

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

                                                                                                                                            With love-in Christ,Kwik

I had a better idea for Christmas carolling this time. Some people wanted to have santa as an "attraction" for unbelievers. I proposed to have someone dress up as Santa and share the true gospel. And tell how Christmas is all about Jesus and not Santa. The whole idea of Santa quickly dropped away

While what he said might be truth, it cannot be pushy.

James 3:17 (NKJV)

[17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

I think that would depend on the punishment for assault and battery in Texas.

Actually, his facts about christmas are way off and he is very prideful .... I could see the justification in what Kwik said, that a police officer should have arrested him.... that's a hard thing to say, about someone who things he's doing right ... but it would be the right response to what this man is doing.

I did not see the full video. The core message of santa being not real is true. But I don't know how he delivered it and what he said about Christams.

But arrest on what count?

People have freedom of speech, if the Mall doesn't like it they can remove him and probably did. I do think the first thing atheists tell our kids is, "Yea right, Jesus is real, just like Santa Clause".  We actually have Christians that celebrate Halloween also. I agree that the message of Jesus should become the message of Christmas over Santa Clause, but he probably should do it in other venues, but hey, I am not going to gripe too much about it, after all, John the Baptist chose to die to spread the truth that Sin is Sin and people need to repent. Preachers preaching the truth should not be criticized for spreading the gospel/truth. After all, what hes saying is THE TRUTH RIGHT ? Think about it.
