"Oh Christmas Tree and its History"-a Christian's "War on Christmas"

Jeremiah chapter 10. Case Closed!

@Calvin4YAH Jeremiah chapter 10. Mind closed!

[radio429]

It is a closed minded and biased individual that believes an item that was once used by an ungodly selfish destroyed nation should forever be banned and not allowed to be used for good or to promote good over evil. Any fool can take scripture spoken to one group and twist it to discredit or hurt those who have good intentions. The motives of those who post videos like this are obvious to anyone. You are only fooling yourself if you believe otherwise.

People still have a subconscious connection to their pagan roots

amanitas mushrooms were growing in families under all our pine trees last season! right outside of the corner of my shed where i play drums and across from an elementary school! it was truly magickal

[saveusbloodymess]

i have a chrismess tree becouse in israel it's a symbol of not belonging to the jewish religion, becouse in russia it was a tradition that everyone took part of it, so it connects me to my sources, and of course, it conects me with the pegan tradition witch i really love.

Hear, hear.

Well, that was a fun video. Made me all warm and fuzzy inside.

I'd rather keep the Christmas tree around, if only for its aesthetic value; a Christmas tree lit up in a darkened room is an awe inspiring sight.

Christians worship pine trees because they have the magical ability to stay green through winter.

[DeletedDelusion]

@alfyakuza It's not magic, evergreen trees just evolved diffrent adaptations then deciduous plants to survive the winter in In cool temperate climates.

Pine tree leaves are thicker and have a lower surface, which is at one hand less effective to collect sunlight, but spares them the cost of growing new foliage every year, they use sugar in their leaves as a frost protection, and the epidermis of their leaves is thicker as well, which makes them capable to survive even -60° celsius.

[alfyakuza]

@DeletedDelusion Yeah, thanks, I wasn't serious.

Christians worship blood sacrifice, not trees.

[alfyakuza]

@DeletedDelusion I was alluding to the possible pagan origins of Christmas trees.

haha, wow, for once it's the fundies that state the best case. scary stuff.

@pamew:

I don't find anything particularly scary about it.The pagan origins of Christmas,which so many religiotards claim atheists are waging a war against, make the whole farce even more ironic. From what I heard from the mouth of culture warrior Robert Jeffress, about 91% of Americans celebrate Christmas.I would wager that a significant portion of the 9% who don't aren't atheists, but his fellow religiotards,who take their religion more seriously than him and know better,religiously speaking.
