Christmas Parade Goes Rogue

[RecycleMichael]

Ask and ye shall receive...

Isaiah 3:9
The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

Really guido? Show me the Christian angle in two guys fighting over who gets call their parade "Christmas". I missed that in my Bible.

I'm not taking the issue on. Just curious about one of the posters in here. A question I have always had are when non-Christians are so quick to point out the flaws and human failings of Christians, as if being a Christian makes someone infallible. I get the hypocrisy stuff when the overly pious, in your face guy gets caught toe tapping. It's the every day Christian who stumbles, or gets into this parade nonsense, who suddenly becomes a joke's punchline I am interested in getting at. Probably the wrong thread.

It is.  This is a perfect thread to make fun of someone, not have a point conversation about philosophy.

That's too bad.  I was hoping for a good old fashioned parade float joust.

It's pretty obtuse, so that would mean greater than 90, but less than 180 degrees...

Better to pull out now rather than abort at the last minute.  Not typical for this crowd regardless of their moral induced politics.

I like what you did there.  Clever.

The Tulsa Christmas Parade was initially going to be held at Tulsa Hills Shopping Center on December 15th, but Tulsa Hills management thought that would create too much traffic on a very important shopping day. Organizers decided to bump the parade up a week; once again pitting it against the Tulsa Holiday Parade of Lights.

Eddie Huff, organizer of the Tulsa Christmas Parade, isn't apologizing.
"I think Tulsa's big enough for two parades. We don't see a controversy. There's is a holiday parade, and ours is a Christmas parade.

We're a very angry exclusionary competitive people here in South Tulsa.

I like how the Fox News writer used the wrong form of their's.

I'm sure they wanted it to be on the 15th for about 15 seconds.

This is a protest parade, led by Bill Christiansen as the MC this year.

If there was a new Grumpy White Men movie coming out, they could sponsor it.
