I vehemently disagree. Christmas Vacation is the number one Christmas movie of all time!

Oh well, we can agree to disagree.

You could make a very strong case for Christmas Vacation. The order of the Rev’s list changes from time to time-Vacation may make sit atop the list soon-

glad to see your belief system hasn’t destroyed all your good sense! :)

And it's great to see there is still hope for you despite your system of belief.

: )

Although, you're dangerously close to losing all credibility with Bad Santa making your Top Ten list.

Am I understanding that a man of the cloth has seen Bad Santa? Talk about losing credibility! I promise I won’t tell your flock. But you owe me a beer.

I am sure many of the people I fellowship with have seen Bad Santa.

Credibility is indeed lost if you think ad hominem arguments are productive. But, then again you've said they prove little already. I'm not so sure why you keep using them though!

In your comments on "thought of the day 151," you say, "I agree ad hominem attacks prove little."

It's a movie, I watched it, does that mean everything I believe is wrong? Surely you don't think so. : )

The bad thing about these kind of conversations is sometimes a joke is misconstrued. I actually have even more respect for you knowing that you aren’t afraid of watching movies like that. But now you owe me two beers for thinking i would actually think you lost credibility over such a ridiculous thing!

Agreed!

Easy to misconstrue things in a blog setting.
