What have a gnome, a mermaid and a lizard got to do with Advent?

No, it's not the leadline in some cheesy Christmas cracker joke, it's a serious question!

I mean...we recieved a sheet last night from the 'Festivals Group' entitled "Advent Program" and the picture on the front featured a gnome holding some crystals, whilst a sultry-looking mermaid with green hair looks on from the sea shore and a sinister looking orange lizard crawls towards them.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS eh?

Don't get me wrong, I am always keen on something a little different from the usual penguininawoolyhat motif, but GNOMES....HOLDING CRYSTALS.....I ask you!

The only reason I am not having panic attacks and palpatations right now (and we've been there - believe me) is because we've made the decision that enough's enough and we're going to leave, as soon as possible!

  1. Hello Stephen,

    I'm sorry to hear the hassles you have received from those 'democratic' Christians.

    I guess their Chritianity doesn't include 'Do unto other as they would have done unto you" - Oh well, maybe that's too old hat.

    Democracy isn't mob rule - or hasn't been since before the time of Pericles.

    For some comic relief from all this head wrecking might I suggest www.nationstates.net.

    I'm The Zodi Identity - an imaginary cult nation that is more parasitic than the Vatican. It deal with precisely this type of herding behaviour.

    best regards
