#203 Is Santa evil?

from But It Was Aliens Hosted by But It Was Aliens

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether Santa Claus is evil. Is Santa an evil alien? This one dates back to before the Common Era and is evidenced in the Bible itself (Jeremiah 7:31, Leviticus 18:21 and Isaiah 63: 2-3). We move from the Bible to modern pop music as we outline a trail of evil hidden in plain sight. Every time Santa did bad and was noticed, Santa changed their name and moved on! Amidst that, we reflect on Christmas past. Alongside this, it is asked… Is Stranger Things worth watching? Mr Moonwalker has yet to confirm that he’s watched Squid Game, either (just saying). Can children sense true evil, before they are corrupted by the world? All that and more on this week’s file. But more importantly, Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! #probe Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/ Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers Music: Music created via Garageband.
