I have it on good authority that Jesus was a blond man with milky white skin. In a desert.
I have been in that exact same stretch of desert, and I can tell you that it's a good thing he WAS Jesus, because SPF1000 wasn't available at the time, and he would have cooked to a teensy little cinder.
So there you have it. Albino messiah.

Jesus is an obvious jew, however, santa is more ambiguous...
If we go on literal St.Nicolas, he's a greek...so, a mediterranian.
However, if we look at santa's characteristics, then it's quite obvious that we're dealing with a christianised odin (guy who can look at everything in the world, rides a multi-legged means of conveyance, is associated with a winter festival in which things are hung on a tree, and is known for inventing/being the epitome of gift-giving customs). In this, if we were to assume that people-groups anthropomorphise their gods, santa, being odin "christed over", is certainly white.

1. Under Odin the "things" hanging from the tree were "poor people". So, you know, no big change.
2. Santa Claus is not and was not Odin. How do I know this? He has two eyes, even in the older stories. Also, he has reindeer, not crows. Santa Claus is clearly a Lapp, and Odin wouldn't be caught dead with Lapps. I realize that this clashes with the ever-popular Paganization of damn near everything, but life is tough. Now, to be a REAL Pagan, explain why Santa Claus is actually an old crone AND Ra at the same time, and why all of these things together clearly make Santa Claus Irish.
Also, it would be really cool to hear about how Odin was all peace-loving and shit.
Just so we have the whole package.
Wait. How does MULTIPLE REINDEER equal A HORSE WITH TOO MANY LEGS?
Oh, yeah, because Pagan.
:hammer:
Lol like i said wiccan
Why did Rudolph's nose grow bright enough to light the menorah?
"cause Pagan.
One of the dumbest things i ever saw with pagan wankery was saying that anu an irish earth goddess was the same entity as an a sumerian sky god. Never mind the gender switch and element switch or even the geographic distance but sumerian is also a language isolate and irish is indoeuropean
Santa may be many things... Odin ain't one of them.
I like the new one going around that says Yule is a Norse fertility god.
:?
Fox News is totally pagan. THINK about it.
I don't think, as many years as I've spent around Pagans, I've ever heard the claim that Santa is Odin before. Is this a new Pagan invention?
I can't help suspecting it's those wacky Wiccans again, making shit up. I have asked the one bona-fide Heathen I know.

My Heathen friend says that the Odin connection is legit, not in the sense that Santa Claus "is" Odin as you would see in a syncretic religion, but in that as the Santa Claus/St. Nicholas folklore has evolved it has absorbed a number of characteristics from Odin folklore.

That may well be true to a degree. I suspect that Neopagans are responsible for a good percentage of said absorption too.
Also, any absorption that Santa has done to Odin have been passing glances. Odin was a fucking bastard who's sole purpose was to stave off Ragnarok as long as possible. He's like an Anti-Jesus. Saw the End of the World and went, nope, going to stop that by any means necessary as long as I can.
I've always liked Odin's interactions with Loki. Especially how you can see Loki try to be good but getting distracted and failing gloriously.
"Gonna be good, gotta be good, gonna be good, ooohshiny! Whose sword is this? I like it so it is probably mine. Why would i like a sword that isn't mine? no reason ergo it is mine. SHINY RED BUTTON LABELLED RAGNAROK! i wonder what pushing that does?
Loki really is the mentally deficient ADD little brother that you can't stay angry with because he honestly doesn't understand he is doing something wrong.

Yeah, that was my understanding too. Odin led the Wild Hunt in the sky at Yuletime...elements of which influenced the idea of Santa flying through the sky at Christmas, and may have influenced his appearance too (one of Odin's names being "longbeard", for example). These elements were incorporated into the Sinterklass tradition, which is probably the main precursor to Santa Claus.
However, Santa Claus is not Odin. He is clearly Turkish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas).

So, probably not much whiter than Jesus.
As I recall, St. Nicholas was at the Council of Nicaea, so you may as well blame him for Christmas being December 25th.

"I was only joking u guise srsly" is getting a bit old by this point too.
How many times has Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter etc used that to try and explain something they said seriously and then got widely panned for? WORST COMEDIANS EVER. Oh, and hey, isn't your job actually political commentary, not half-assed jokes. Do half-assed jokes on your own time, slacker.
That's the thing, too; if it WAS a joke (and it clearly wasn't) it was a racist joke. And since when is it cool for a national reporter to tell racist jokes on the air? The joke defense is the worst defense ever.

Well, what's she gonna say? "My producer made me say it?" or "Sean Hannity and I got really drunk and it seemed funny at the time?"
There's about a half dozen versions of this making the rounds. :lol:

Quote"In kicking off the lighthearted segment, I offered a tongue-in-cheek message for any kids watching, saying that Santa, who I joked is a real person... is identifiable as white," she said Friday.
Did she just follow up with those same kids and tell them Santa isn't real? Christ, what an asshole.

My Heathen friend says that the Odin connection is legit, not in the sense that Santa Claus "is" Odin as you would see in a syncretic religion, but in that as the Santa Claus/St. Nicholas folklore has evolved it has absorbed a number of characteristics from Odin folklore.
Yeah, that was my understanding too. Odin led the Wild Hunt in the sky at Yuletime...elements of which influenced the idea of Santa flying through the sky at Christmas, and may have influenced his appearance too (one of Odin's names being "longbeard", for example). These elements were incorporated into the Sinterklass tradition, which is probably the main precursor to Santa Claus.
However, Santa Claus is not Odin. He is clearly Turkish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas).
To be honest I'm slow to disbelieve the odin part since the whole santa claus myth has picked up more influences in its day than a ideological katamari. A little Sinterklaas, some Saint Nick, a dash of Kris Kringle, ah what the hell throw some Odin on top, who gives a shit."
Catholics will say any damn thing to convert us filthy heathens.

Dude, patchouli stink validates the whole idea of the Dominicans/the inquisition.
Then i blame them for not burning down the patchouli factories. THEY COULD HAVE ENDED THIS, AND YET THEY DID NOTHING!

1. Ever smell burning patchouli?
2. The factories are too well hidden. So they just burned the end users. Think of it as the American drug policy.
so the way to get a sane drug policy in this country is to get hippies to stop doing them? No wonder we're fucked.

No, it's "putting a 19 year old in jail for 26 YEARS for a half-pound of pot."
just checking, you meant that that's the reason we're fucked, and not the way to get a sane drug policy, right?
