Discrepancies between CBS's "Rudolph" and the Bible's

[underpants]

As you know last night was the annual airing of the 1964 claymation treatment of the gospel's Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer story.

You may receive the normal e-mails protesting the liberal interpretation by directors Kizo Nagashima and Larry Roemer (produced by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.) Just a heads up.

The depiction of the Abominable Snowman as "against Christmas" is an attack on patriarchal Christian societal teachings. Likewise his carnivorous tendencies serve to paint a negative light on meat ending particularly baby reindeer eating. Notice that he prefers "pork"-see producer credits ;-)

According to the scriptures Hermey was not THAT gay.

Okay Yukon Cornelius was but he was Canadian probably French Canadian.

The scriptures in no way promoted the pre-marital flirting (which leads to you know what) between Clarice and Rudolph.

The idea that a secular figure such as Santa Claus could "cancel Christmas" is a direct affront to God on his son's birthday. It is important to note that this whole "non conformity" interpretation was initiated the same year that the Beatles first appeared on TV in the United States...a coincidence?

The following appears in no way or no where in the Bible:
Yukon Cornelius: Whoa. Whoa. Unmush, will ya?

It is commonly accepted knowledge that the "great snowstorm" was a warning from God to all of the sinful behaviour displayed in this story and to imply that a genetic freak could over ride God's will is blasphemous.



If you can offer any talking points to refute this artificial turf letter please do.

1. Whoa. Whoa. Unmush, will ya?

3. I still say the noseless doll showed an unnatural interest in the polkadot

elephant.

Heresy!

6. Lost tribe????

Some people say...

[Hugin]

4. Face it... This was all part of some Intelligent Design.

The talking snowman told me so.

5. which version of Rudolph are you talking about

there are, of course, significant differences in the parable between Matthew's version and Luke's version and Rudolph is not even mentioned in Mark, the earliest Gospel, or John, the Gospel written by an apostle.

Hollywood, of course, cannot do anything right, but isn't it interesting to note how a Gospel story like Rudolph is much more enduring than a pagan story like "The Little Drummer Boy". When's the last time you saw THAT on TV? Hmmmm.

Many of us feel that the sequel is much truer to the message of Jesus - "I'm mister Heat Miser, I'm mister hundred and one ...." Martin Luther kept that out of the Bible we know today, but the Dead Sea Scrolls have confirmed it as an early parable.

7. Isn't the "Book of Rudolph" one of the lost books of the Bible...

Suppressed by the early church leaders?

9. It's a kids christmas story and a tradition.

It's a cartoon about a flying reindeer with a glowing nose and elves and a talking snowman and toys.

Kids like the story and it gets people in the Christmas spirit. Back Off.

Don't be scared embrace the fun.

10. Don't be scared to embrace the parody.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

11. Satan wants to be a dentist.

[hfojvt]

13. Exactly. There are many dentist chairs in hell

Giving Hermey an interest in dentistry is just trying to get the Faithful to embrace dentistry. Which, of course, was started as a branch of alchemy, and is being used today to plant microchips in people's jaws. :scared: :tinfoilhat:

Honestly underpants... You question too much.

15. Does anybody else find it remotely titillating when Yukon Cornelius

would lick at the tip of his pickax in a rather provocative and naughty way after it would land in the ground? And then utter a disappointed "Nuttin" as if he was expecting ...say.....a fishy taste?


Bad prospector. Naughty, bad prospector.

[Beer Snob-50]

16. I must refute the Hermey is Gay banter...

during a song at the end of the story, when everyone is singing, I believe I saw him "flirt" with a blond elf of the female persuasion.

[underpants]

17. ....as the prophecies foretold

:bounce:

[Beer Snob-50]

20. yes and i believe it went......

and the great elf dentist rose from the ground and onto his north pole sat a virgin. and she smiled and they sang songs onto the great fat one. and the song went "we are santas elves. santas elves are we. work all day have no play."

19. This is Bullshit

EVERYONE knows that the story was co-opted by the early church. The real story of Rudolph was a pagan legend dating back to the Sumerians!

Constantine changed what was a bright red bull to a "reindeer" so it was more accessible to early Christians.

Peddle your propaganda elsewhere!
