Maybe Santa Claus means "Satan's Claws"? Like a lion's "claws"?

How'd he become a doctor?
(id "Th" is theology, how'd he get his doctorate without knowing the origins of Santa Claus?)
Maybe you're a fucking retard and got that Doctorate at the same place as Hovind did. (probably both of 'em rode the Short Bus together as well)
After all, if it's posted on AV's website, it must be devoid of intellectual value.
WT effing Fuck ?? I started reading that like, 'Aaaw it's one of those cute twelve year old fundies, who you can't really blame for saying silly things' then I saw the name. I have little doubt we're looking at a diploma mill graduate or a self appointed 'doctor' but still, even 'Terry Watkins' sounds like too much of a grand title for a creature that could spew something so idiotic.
Or its an Americanization of Saint Nicholas?
Fuck, read a book.

And for the people above, no this isn't AV's website.
AV = Authorized Version
1611 stands for the year the KJV was printed.
So unless it's that exact bible, then it's isn't gods real word.
Maybe you should look up the etymology. Santa Claus is a familiar name to St Nicholas, a Bishop of the 6th century. And a respect for the lions, they've got much more dignity than you(with your PhD in what?, in moronology?)
No! I don't think anyone ever made that analogy before. You're one original guy.
Reading that it starts with "Who REALLY is Santa Claus"..."is there something or someone else hiding behind Santa Claus"...
In my house, it was my Uncle hiding behind the Santa beard. It was mom what was behind the whole gift giving thing.
If you don't know the answers to your own questions you're in pretty dire need of a reality check.
And maybe, just maybe, it's a corruption of Saint Niklaus ? It's not too far of a stretch, is it ? Santa (Sancta) actually means Saint. Claus as an abbreviation of Niklaus is still in use today. Ok,, now where's my doctorate ??
No it doesn't.
You're an idiot.
His world would collapse once someone lets him on the fact that Santa Clause was Saint Nick who lived in Turkey, yup, a muslim country.
also you stole that from Calvin an Hobbes
No, it comes from the Dutch "Sinterklaas", which itself is a contraction of the Dutch "Sint-Nicolaas".
You were close with the claws thing though, so close. <sarcasm>
Doctor? In what? Bullshite?
O Ignoramus that claims a doctorate: Claus is the Germanic name Klaus. I has nothing to do with 'claws'.
As my good friend Bugs would say: "What a moroon!"
"Dr. Terry Watkins" makes the Anagram: "Trendy Warts Irk". So are you a doctor of warts?
Not being offensive, you understand. I'm just applying your own logic to the situation.
Wow... how do you continue breathing with that little of a brain, anyway? It comes from the Norwegian (I think; don't quote me, though) version of the story of St. Nicholas. The nickname for "Nicholas" in (Norway) is Klaus, which then got changed to "Claus". And Santa is a word for "Saint". Thus it means "Saint Nicholas", not "Satan's Claws".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
