This is rather disturbing. Not the display - I kinda think the Jesus-shooting-Santa-and-hitting-Rudolph-with-pickup-truck thing is pretty funny. What's disturbing is, this guy says that Christmas is about Jesus, which makes him sound to me like a Christian. He is trying to show the "reason" for the season (i.e. Jesus) is more powerful than the gross commercialism we've fallen victim to in recent centuries. I get that. However, little children will pass that and see their "Savior" gunning down the guy who brings them toys and is happy and kind to all kids everywhere, and what are they going to think? Be good or Jesus will mow you down with his boomstick? Is that the message Christianity is trying to send? As a Pagan, I wonder if this display might not have the opposite effect on kids that this guy wants - I'm thinking a lot of children in that town will be converting away from gun-toting Jesus in the next ten years or so
