For some time now, atheists have been accused by religiotards of waging a "War on Christmas". I don't know to what extent that is true, but this video, made by Christian fundamentalists, illustrates very well that it is the Christians who are supposed to be waging "War on Christmas", and not the atheists. So if you happen to be either 1)a misinformed Christian who actually thinks Christmas is an authentic "Christian holiday" and believes there is a massive "War on Christmas" waged by a cabale of evil atheists or (2) a misinformed atheist who actually thinks Christmas is an authentic "Christian holiday" and therefore thinks it should be removed from our culture along with the religion it supposedly represents, please keep the message of this video in mind.
So even though the video was created by Christian fundamentalists, I decided to mirror it, to get the point across.

Merry Christmas to everybody, Christians, atheists, and everyone else!

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.

@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.

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

Christians worship blood sacrifice, not trees.

@Calvin4YAH Jeremiah chapter 10. Mind closed!

Jeremiah chapter 10. Case Closed!

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

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.

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