I've gone to a couple of Unitarian services.

Imagine a Christmas service titled "When Santa was a shaman" and being  
run by the Wiccan's  (They've been 'management' for a couple of years  
now)

Some sort of norse mythos with reindeer carrying the sun in it's  
antlers to herald the winter solstice or something..

I guess talking about this will completely screw my chances of being  
President..

I mean..   If a Mormon isn't a Christian  (according to the  
evangelicals..)  then someone attending a ceremony run by the wiccans  
and calling Santa a shaman, is a *bad man*  likely believes in Satan  
and drinks blood.
