Even Dr Scott admits that the Bible is so watered down that it makes
pablum look like a Mexican feast. The Santa claus story is a perfect
example of how the story of a real person, Bishop Nicolas of Myra in
Turkey, (d)evolved into St Nicolas and eventually Santa Claus, and
eventually got mixed up w/25 Dec. rather than 6 Dec. commemorating his
death, since Father Xmas evolved out of Saturn for Saturnalia, and he got
confused w/Santa Claus.
