Save Christmas: Kill an elf

Findo found this story about a minister so keen to defend the honour of Christmas that he’s executing a satanic elf to make the point.

Elves, of course, are servants of Satan. Just like Hitler.


This weekend, Knudsen’s hatred for the creature he says “comes from the devil” manifested itself in the form of a mock execution by hanging of a Christmas elf outside his church.

Around the elf’s neck was a sign reading “we reject Satan and all his works and all his empty promises”, a reference to the Christian baptism rite.

Knudsen said decorating with elves at Christmas was “comparable to decorating with Nazi flags”, and described elves of all sorts as “poltergeists that come from the devil and make children sick”.
